Mark,

  Add a dbEngine.Idle after refreshing the subform records and just
before you do the calculations.  This will force JET to finish up it's
background tasks before continuing with code execution.

Hi all

Using AXP in WinXP

I have a very complex form and subform where the parent performs
calculations based, partly on, records accessed through the subform.
Inclusion of the subform records in the calcs is dependant on a yes/no
field being set to yes.

On the parent is a button which refreshes the calcs. If I change the
subforms yes/no value and then click the refresh button on the parent
straight away, the change is not always reflected in the calculations.
If I wait 5 or 6 seconds (working on a local backend) then everything is
fine.

I have spent a lot of time trying to simplify the code (the refresh
button being a result) but no matter what there is still a delay
resulting in the calcs not always being refreshed properly. I tried
requerying and saving in the subform both after the edit and when the
refresh button is clicked but I still get the same problem.

Any one got any pointers, I'd be real greatful.

Thanks and have a good weekend (I'm off at last)

Mark
