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!

Postman,
Glad to see you finally got the syntax to work.
In regards to the bang (!) vs dot (.) operators: Although they are now often interchangable .....there are technical differences between them that could more strictly enforced by the Access compiler in future editions of Access, prompting code changes for compliance.
Technically, the ! operator is used to indicate that what follows is a user-defined item (e.g.an element of a collection). For example, use the ! operator to refer to an open form, an open report, or a control on an open form or report.
On the other hand, the . (dot) operator usually indicates that what follows is an item defined by Microsoft Access. For example, use the . (dot) operator to refer to a property of a form, report, or control.
In regards to your statement about having the proper code for switching between existing records and new records, here is one way you can branch your code:
If Not Me.NewRecord then
-----XXXXX code for existing record
Else
------xxxxx code for new record
End If
Thanks for the info. The lingo helped me do some research on the bang vs dot vs quotes thing.
I found a couple interesting articles... http://my.advisor.com/articles.nsf/aid/05352
"In addition to ControlName being a member of the Controls collection of the form, it's also a property of the form...every time you add a control to a form (or report), Access adds a property with the same name and type as your control to the form's class in your VBA project...Using dots rather than bangs also makes your code run a bit faster." http://blogs.msdn.com/frice/archive/.../18/75685.aspx
"Using dots rather than bangs also makes your code run a bit faster....[The bang operator] also has the disadvantage of causing a speed penalty. Why? ...Behind the scenes, Access translates the dot-and-bang reference to the parentheses and quotes style anyway. As a result, while the bang will save you a few strokes, the translation will incur a performance penalty. Thus the recommendation is to always use the parentheses and quotes styles when referring to a member of a collection "
Thanks again! :-)

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

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
