I have a subform which is bound to a query which will display records using an ID# supplied from a listbox in the parent form.
That same subform is also used to create new records using the following code in a "New Record" commandbutton: - DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
Both functions work fine. However, if I have a selected record displayed, and I click the "New Record" button, it does not move to a new record. It just stays on the selected record and any edits I make affect that selected record.
Any help you can provide is appreciated!

If your button is executing from the main form, I believe you have to set focus on the subform to execute the new record command for the subform.
Try your code this way: -
Me.YourSubformControlName.Form.SetFocus
-
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
-
Thanks for the suggestion, puppydogbuddy. I tried it, but I get the following error:
Run-time error '2449': There is an invalid method in an expression.
It highlights the line with the "SetFocus" method for the form. I tried various approaches for the SetFocus, but they all end in the same error.
Any idea why?
Thanks for your help!
Thanks for the info. It wasn't working, but after looking at the table, I found that new records were being created, but the bound fields in the subform weren't clearing to display the new record--they were still displaying the selected record.
Ideas?
Thanks!
Is the subform's "allow additions" property set to "Yes"?

Perhaps you need to requery the subform after the item has been added.
I just realized what the problem probably is. The subform is bound to a query which uses a listbox value as the criteria. If a record is selected in the listbox, the subform is going to display those contents regardless of what's happening in the table.
I'll try a few things on that track and post the results...or more questions.

That's about the size of it. The requery should help ;)
The simplest fix to the problem was just changing the subform's "DataEntry" property to True when the "Create New Record" button is clicked, and to False when the "Display Records" button is clicked.
But that created the opposite problem, now:
If I go first to Display Records, it will display the selected records fine.
But if I first Create a new Record, then go to Display Records, the subform won't display the selected record from the listbox.
(The subform's recordsource is a query that uses the listbox value as criteria. The Listbox's click event does requery the subform.)
Not sure why this is happening.

Hi,
I have two very similar forms each with a subform. The main form gets
a few fields from the user and passes this back to a query that the
subform is bound to. The requery is done when the user enters the
last qualifying field on the main form.
In one case this works fine, the subform shows the data the user wants
to update -- which means showing all the data put in previously (ie
showing this via the requery and the continuous...

I have a form/subform with the common one-to-many relationship.
The form allows user to display records and move to other records
via the selector, to add,delete, and edit them, with the related

The parent form's recordset has fields
