[AccessD] AddNewRecord "Problem"

Accdb database, I am not too familiar with Ac2010.

... especially how Access creates embedded events and actions instead of
normal vba code to handle standard record operations on a buttonclick such
as New Record. So I am trying to use VBA.

When I create a new record in the table, I want to validate that the info
entered is not already in the table. I could probably do this in the
BeforeInsert, but I am instead doing it on the button click.

If the record is one which  may be added I want to insert a record. I am
doing this presently by setting a dao recordset equal to the form's
recordsetclone, and then saying Rst.AddNew, and then populating a few fields
which are not bound to controls, then using bookmark to bring the rest of
the form (and the bound controls) up to date and position the form on the
correct record.

That part is clunky but working, but the problem is that the Current event
is not firing. For that matter, the Addnew is not firing either.

I know I can call those events with code, but I was wondering why this
method is not causing Current to fire on its own when I set the form's
bookmark equal to the recordset's bookmark?
