I don't know if this has been reported before but it appears to be a
bug with Access.
If I create two tables both with an identity column then create an
insert trigger on table1 that inserts a related record into table2, now
create a form on table1 with a subform on table2. Insert records into
the main form to your heart's content and everything's fine, each main
record automatically gets a child record and so far the identity
columns are nice and sequential with no gaps, which is good for testing
the next bit (gaping holes in the sequentialness might not show up the
problem easily)
Now truncate table2 (note: use truncate table so that the identity seed
is reset)
Now enter a new record into the form, when it saves, it will jump back
to record 1, well actually it thinks (according to the nav bar) it's on
the last record but the data is from the record with the id of 1. do it
again it will jump to record 2, etc.
What's happening here is that Access appears to be retrieving
@@IDENTITY from the server and that contains the ID of table2 that was
inserted by the trigger. If the id of table2 doesn't exist in table1,
then the main form stays at the record just inserted (strange, I
predicted it would go all #deleted on me).
The problem only arises if the trigger inserts an ID into the sub table
that also exists as an ID in the main table so you can see you might
never come across the problem.
I can't say what Access does internally but it appears it's using
@@IDENTITY when a fix for this would be for it to use SCOPE_IDENTITY( ).
So I have a bug, probable cause and a fix, who do I send that to that
doesn't want to charge me £70 for the privilege?

Were your tables in a 1:M relation? That's what subforms are most
often used for.

I have the beta, when I restore a database into it from 2000, only half
the database gets restored, tables have missing data, some tables
missing, right mess. They might want to address the fundimental issues
like that before the obscure ones like my OP :-)
I'm pretty sure it's an Access bug anyway, if I insert using Query
Analyser, both @@IDENTITY and SCOPE_IDENTITY( ) return the expected
values, i.e. @@IDENTITY returns the ID from table2 and SCOPE_IDENTITY( )
returns the ID of table1.
Same thing in ADP or MDB so would suggest Access and not any of it's
middleware like ODBC/ADO/DAO, etc.
