New "Blank" Record Added When Search Runs

[dougmeece]

I have two forms with one calling the other to perform searches. When I run the search form the 2nd form a blank record is added to my table. The table is appended or updated from entries on the first form but the second form doesn’t reference the table at all. The queries ran from the form obviously query the table for data but these are not the same queries that update/append.

Any ideas what would cause this to happen?

As always, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Doug

Doug,
Check the property sheet for the second form and make sure data entry is set to No. If that doesn't fix it, then please post the code sub that you use to open the second form.

Here is the Code for the 2nd form:

Anything you can tell me would be greatly appreciated. I have searched online but not really found anything good.

Thanks,

Doug,
I don't have the time to study all that code in detail, but it looks to me that the second form you refer is really a subform. In that case, they go together like bread and butter.....when a main form record is created, so will the subform be created. No so if you are using 2 forms. Suggest that you download sample forms (includes an example of a form w/subform, and an example of 2 forms working in synchronized fashion) from this link:

Its actaully a form with some subforms on it. I'll check out the link.

Thanks

I have this fixed. Turns out it was two things. One the form was not set with the proper data source. Second, the query was not setup properly. Once I change those two things it stopped adding the blank record.

Thanks for the help.
