Requery runs the form's recordsource query all over again, so that
records that may not have existed or met the query criteria before will
now appear, and records that have been deleted or no longer meet the
criteria will disappear. Refresh fetches fresh and potentially updated
data for all the records that are currently displayed on the form, but
does not go out to get new records or drop records from the display.
Both methods force a save of the form's current record, if it's "dirty",
before fetching fresh data.

To refresh or requery every 10 minutes, you could set the form's
TimerInterval to 600000 and add an event procedure for the form's Timer
event along the lines of

Private Sub Form_Timer()

Me.Requery ' or Me.Refresh

End Sub

Bear in mind that running the Requery method will reposition the form's
current record at the first record in the new query results.
