Macro Data Entry in a multi-row Subform

Bob
I'm running Access 97 and have a sub-form within a main form. The subform
allows data entry by the user. Now, I would also like to enter a row from a
macro, but when I try, the entry always goes into the first row even if
there has been a user entry there. Any suggestions on how I can do this?
Thanks.

Before entring a row from your macro, programatically send the subform to a
new record.

Thanks for your advice. Do I have to go to Basic to do this? When I try to
do it from a Macro, I get the message that the subform is not open.

You have to do it at the front of the macro you are trying to use to enter a
row of data; not a separate macro.

Thanks for your response.
I do have it in the same Macro. I'm tried both the following notations to
address the subform:

Forms![MainForm]![SubformControlN ame]
Forms![MainForm]![SubformControlN ame].Form

and both give me the message form not open. Is my notation wrong? I'm
using the object type Form in the Go To Record command.

Hi, I know virtually nothing about creating Macros in Access. I would appreciate some help in creating a Macro or Macros that automatically run(s) 14 Queries (three Make Table Queries, and 11 Append Queries) when the Database is first opened, and then again anytime I invoke the Macro (somehow) after the database is already open. The latter function is useful, because the queries must be rerun every time data is added, deleted, or...

I'm looking for a method to enter and retain a start date and end date for use with a macro that runs 11 month-end reports that each require the same start date and end date. FYI- currently, the macro runs and requires entry for start and end dates for each report as it opens. Where no data is available, the macro informs of no data, requires acknowledgement, then proceeds to the next report.
