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!

From DataEntry Property:
The Data Entry property doesn't determine whether records can be added; it only determines whether existing records are displayed.

I suggest that your solution possibly wasn't one then.
I would try looking at the .Requery route.
@NeoPa
The .Requery route did not work.
After further testing, it appears to be a focus issue. I tried the earlier suggestions for moving the focus and I can't get the focus to move to the subform.
I even made test buttons on the parent form with code to just move the focus to a control on the subform and it won't work. The focus stays with the parent form. Not sure why that won't work.

Could we see the code you tried.
-
-
Private Sub Command173_Click()
-
-
Form_AttDetail.aiDate.SetFocus
-
-
End Sub
-
Command173 is the command button in the parent form. Form_AttDetail is the subform object. aiDate is a control in that subform.
Thanks.

Private Sub Command173_Click()
-
-
Me!Form_AttDetail.Form!aiDate.SetFocus
-
-
End Sub

@puppydogbuddy
It gives an error stating it " can't find the field 'Form_AttDetail ' referred to in your expression."
I tried changing it to - Me.attDetail.Form!aiDate.SetFocus
This eliminated the error, but nothing happens ("attDetail" is the subform control name and "AttDetail" is the subform name).

Check out Referring to Items on a Sub-Form. I think it may explain the situation fully enough.
Let us know if you still have problems after reading through it.
see the suggested syntax from the link I gave you in post #4 -
Me!attDetail.SetFocus
-
Me!attDetail.Form!aiDate.SetFocus
-
@puppydogbuddy
Thanks. That did the trick.
The syntax I used was this: - Me.attDetail.SetFocus
-
Form_AttDetail.aiDate.SetFocus
I use "Form_AttDetail " because it's shorter and the intellisense will display the controls/properties which means less typing. Using the the "!" method does not give the intellisense menus. Is there a disadvantage to this?
I still have to switch the recordsource of the subform to the table if I'm adding new records and to the query if I'm displaying records based on the listbox selection.
Thanks for all your help!

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
