[AccessD] Fill in some fields in a new record without creating a new record?

I'm at a loss with this problem and hope someone can
help.

I have a form in a 'members' database that allows
entry of people (members, 
prospective members, guests, etc.) who have RSVP'd to
an upcoming meeting. 
The Meeting info comes from tblMeetings (date,
location, time, etc.) and the 
person info comes from tblPeople.

When a new record in frmRSVP is created, I would like
to fill in some of the 
fields in the new record (those that are starred
below).

The form consists of the following controls (not
counting the command 
buttons):

** ComboBox: MeetingID
** Text Box: MeetingDate
** Text Box: RSVPDue
Option Group: ogShowRecords
Option Button: optAll
Option Button: optFuture
Option Button: optPrevious
Combo Box: PersonID
Text Box: RSVPDate
Text Box: Status
Text Box: txtEmailAddress
Text Box: Note
Check Box: ReceiptConfSent

The Form_Current sub looks like this:

Private Sub Form_Current()
  Dim intNewRec As Integer
  Dim rsc As Recordset
On Error GoTo Err_Form_Current
    intNewRec = Me.NewRecord
    If intNewRec Then
        Set rsc = Me.RecordsetClone
        Me.cboMeetingID = rsc!MeetingID
        Me.MeetingDate = DLookup("MeetingDate",
"tblMeetings", "MeetingID=" 
& rsc!MeetingID)
        Me.RSVPDue = DLookup("RSVPDue", "tblMeetings",
"MeetingID=" & 
rsc!MeetingID)
        Set rsc = Nothing
        rsc.Clone
        If (Now() > Me.RSVPDue) Then
            Me.Late = True
        End If
    End If
    Me.PersonID.SetFocus
Exit_Form_Current:
    Exit Sub
Err_Form_Current:
    ErrorHandler...
    Resume Exit_Form_Current
End Sub

This works fine as long as there is actually someone
selected in the 
PersonID control.  However, if it is blank, I get an
error "The Microsoft 
Jet database engine can't find a record in the table
"tblPeople" with key 
matching field(s) 'PersonID'. and I am thrown into an
endless loop trying to 
get out of that record with the empty PeopleID
control.

Any help appreciated.
