Form data updating

[Chris M via AccessMonster.com]

After entering data into a form with a subform and then going to the next
record, when I return to the previous record, all the data in the subform is
gone. What am I missing to keep the data in the form?

Do you have the MasterLink and ChildLink properties set for the subform control?
That is what causes the subform to automatically filter to only show records
related to the record in the parent form. It is also what causes new records in
the subform to automatically inherit the values from the related parent fields.

Thanks, Rick. The forms do have the links in place.

Do you have the DataEntry property set to yes on the subform? That will
cause it to not display existing records whenever it is requieried.
