If you haven’t visited [inductiveuniversity.com](http://www.inductiveuniversity.com) yet I highly suggest it. There is a plethora of information available there for free. I’m not a hundred percent sure what you are asking. If you have a query binding on a component and you want to force the component to execute that query use this script in the actionPerformed portion of button scripting

```auto
table = event.source.parent.getComponent('Power Table')
system.db.refresh(table, "data")

```
