activating a query in form view

I have a form that consists of five tabs. The first tab is owner information
that was created from a table and a list of residents occupying the property
also created from an underlying table (subform). The third tab was created
from a query of which the first three columns is a list of residents taken
from the resident table. My problem is when under the first tab I enter
residents, then go to the third tab, they do not show up unless I close the
form and re-open it again, at which time they do show up. Is there anyway to
make this query run when just moving to the third tab without closing the
form? Again, this only happens when I entered new residents. I hope I have
been clear enough. Thanks. Dorothy
 
1. Open the main form in design view.

2. Open the Properties box (View menu).

3. Make sure the title bar of the Properties box reads Form, i.e. you are
looking at the properties of the form, not those of a text box.

4. Click the After Update property (Event tab of Properties box).

5. Set it to:
[Event Procedure]

6. Click the Build button (...) beside this property.
Access opens the code window.

7. Between the "Private Sub..." and "End Sub", enter this line:
Me.[NameOfYourSubformControlHere].Form.Requery
