refreshing a table in m files admin via VBA

Is this an external object type?

If so then you can use this method: M-Files API - RefreshExternalObjectType Method

hi what would be the full vba code in excel the first part i have below 

Sub RunExternalProgram()
Dim programPath As String
programPath = "C:\Program Files\M-Files\24.9.14055.3\ServerTools\MFAdmin.msc"


Dim objShell As Object
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

objShell.Run "mmc """ & programPath & """", 7, False
End Sub

what would i put as the second part of the code i do have the m files api library installed 

Hang on.  Sorry, maybe I went too far too quickly.  I strongly suspect that scripting M-Files Admin is *not* what you want to do.  Let's step away from that approach.

Can you start from the beginning?  Show me exactly which "customer table" you want to refresh.  Can you show a screenshot?

see pic below its a custom table that gets updated via an excel sheet

I already have an excel macro that formats my excel table in a way that m files can update their table all i want is excel to also do the right click and refresh  

The method I gave you is the correct one, but you will need to connect to the vault to be able to run it.  You need to have a few steps in your VBA:

1. Connect and authenticate to the vault.  Maybe use a client connection: Connecting and Authenticating (m-files.com)
2. Execute the RefreshExternalObjectType API method I mentioned above ("Vault.ObjectTypes.RefreshExternalObjectType(123, MFExternalDBRefreshType.MFExternalDBRefreshTypeFull)")

Can you try that and see how far you get?  I appreciate the sample code I linked at #1 is in C#, but hopefully you can follow the general process.
