updating bound & unbound controls on a form?

MLH
I have a form, bound to a query. Its RecordSource property
is a query named frmEnterLienAmounts. The form has a few
bound controls and some unbound controls. The unbound
controls are calculated fields whose DefaultValue property
is set to something like

DLookUp("[TowFee]","tblVehicleJobs","[VehicleJobID]=Forms!frmEnterLienAmounts!VehicleJobID")

The form (frmEnterLienAmounts) has, as one of its bound
fields [VehicleJobID]. As I scroll through the records, one-
by-one, I am surprised to see that the unbound controls
are NOT updating. I even put Me.Recalc in the OnCurrent
form property. That doesn't help, the values in the unbound
controls stay the same while flipping from record-to-record
on the form. They stay equal to the amounts calculated for
the very first record in the record source query dynaset. I need
for them to change when flipping through the records. How?

Oops, sorry. The query name is
qry262CorrespRecsW0matching262SpecificRecs. The
form name is frmEnterLienAmounts.

In the OnCurrent event, if the fields aren't updating, you can enter
Me.CalcFieldName.Requery

Is there any difference if you enter
=DLookUp("[TowFee]","tblVehicleJobs","[VehicleJobID]=" & ME.VehicleJobID)
in the controlsource instead of Form!... method?

Maybe

DLookUp("[TowFee]","tblVehicleJobs","[VehicleJobID] _
= " & Forms!frmEnterLienAmounts!VehicleJobID)
