Listbox not updating

Hi - I have a form (frmMain), which has a tabbed control on it.

On the first tab, I have another form (frmChassis), on which there is a
listbox which is related to the current record by the [SerialNumber]
field.

The listbox has a rowsource of a query, which refers to the form as
[Forms]![Chassis]![SerialNumber].

This list box updates perfectly when navigating between records when I
just have the frmChassis form open - but when I open the main form (with
the tabbed control), and navigate the frmChassis records, the listbox
does not update.

Any help would be great, thanks,

You have made the form Chassis a subform and to refer to subforms in a
Query you have to use this syntax:

[Forms]![frmMain]![Chassis]![SerialNumber]

Meaning:

<forms collection>!<main form>!<subform control>!<control on subform>
If that doesn't work try this:

[Forms]![frmMain]![Chassis].Form![SerialNumber]

Same thing as above, but explicitly indicates that Chassis is a
subform on frmMain.
