Thanks in advance for everyone's help. Here's my issue:
I have subforms throughout my main form. Everything works fine and dandy. When I add a new record to the subform results, I would like to automatically set a field. For instance: My subform lists functions that belong to a department. I would like to be able to add functions directly in the subform and automatically set the "department ID" field, to match a dropdown that is on the main form... I'd love to do this without even pulling in the "Department ID" field into the subform results...
Any idea how to do this (without having a button on the main form to create the new record in the table with the specified field, then refreshing the subform query)?
Right now I'm working around it by having the field within the subform, manually selecting the Department ID to ensure it's correctly linked.
