[AccessD] Form not refreshing--sometimes

Not silly at all...I don't think anyhow. It didn't seem to work though.


However, it did produce results that made me think of another thing to
try. as I have explained, I am using a form that gathers the needed
info, and the data comes through on a subform. I think that I may be
requerying the wrong thing...maybe I need to requery that subform...not
the subform control, but rather the actual form that I am piping in.
I've tried requerying the query and the subform control, so I am going
to try the actual form and see how that goes...once I figure out the
syntax. I've done similar before, so I've got it here somewhere.

Thanks for your input though...it is appreciated!

John,

I'm not sure what is causing the problem...but...I used this method for

different reasons...but it should work for this...Instead of using
.requery 
I set the .SourceObject of the subform each time I want it to requery.

Hope this isn't another silly suggestion...I have been guilty of that 
lately.

Thanks,
