I have a form, lets call it form A, that displays a list of projects that need completed. The record source for form A is a simple select Query. when you click on a record it shows a detailed description of the task in a new form, lets call it form B. Form A stays open in the background while form b is open. There is a button on form B which marks the task as completed, which is a yes/no box in the source table. this button also closes form B. My problem is the list of projects does not automatically update form A when form B is closed. Is there a way to make it auto update. everytime i try DoCmd. requery I either get no result or an error message. Any guidance?

The record on form A retains the focus while you are in form B. So in your button click event just set the value directly:
forms![formA]![status] = me![status]
Forms![OpenTest2]![Status] = Me![Status]
DoCmd.close
that it what I put inside form 2 right before close. OpenTest2 is the name of Form A. Access gives me the error:
"Access can't find the field 'Status' referred to in your expression." It is referring to the "=me![Status]".
what did i do wrong?

Call Forms![FormA].Requery

Hi,
I have had some good fortune on this site so I am back and I must iterate I am a beginer.
I am having some problems getting to grips with the right technique to manage variables and adding a unique order number to a customer order form.
I have 4 stages to my order form.
Stage 1 involves the user selecting a link based on what they want. The link then sets 2 variables. $type and $fault based on the link they have chosen.
