adding multiple new recrods using popup form

Hi,

I have a main form, frmEvents, which contains a datasheet subform,
frmEvetsSub, listing each meeting that occured at a particular event. I'd
like the users to be able to click a button to add new meetings to the event
by opening a data entry form, frmMeetingDetails. The problem I'm having is
that I'd like them to be able to enter multiple meetings with
frmMeetingDetails, and if I set it to "Data Entry = Yes" it only allows one
meeting at a time. Then the user has to go back to frmEvents and click the
button again to enter more meetings. There is a lot more data that needs to
be entered than is displayed in the subform which is why I can't allow them
to directly enter it into the subform.

Any tips?

Well... then don't use Data Entry = Yes. Just open the form in Add mode (in
the Openform statement in the calling button's code).
 
Great, that worked. I didn't before because there was an OpenArgs statement
that wasn't being carried into the subsequent records, but I fixed that by
putting it in the OnCurrent VBA as well as the Load code.
