I have a continous subform, and when I select from a drop
down list I need to requery the subform so that the
information is correctly updated. CODE:

Me.Requery

Everything is working fine, except that when I run this
code it automatically sends the user back to the first
record of the continous form. So if the user is entering
in 20 records, and they select from this drop down list,
the information saves correctly, but they have to scroll
back down the subform to the correct record to continue
entering data.

Does anyone know a work around to this?

Thank you,

TBernard
 
Look up the Bookmark example in Help.
Basically you hold a copy of the bookmark ( the current location ) before
the requery, then return to it after requery.

If you are just trying to cause the record to be saved after making the
selection, don't use the Requery method, set the Dirty property, instead:

If Me.Dirty Then
Me.Dirty = False
End If
 
The Bookmark prop is invalidated by calling the Requery method.

Assuming you have an Autonumber primary key named "ID", you could find
the
record again after a Requery like this:

Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim varID as Variant

varID = Me.ID 'Save the primary key value.
Me.Requery 'Perform the requery

If IsNull(varID) Then 'Must have been a new record
If Not Me.NewRecord Then
RunCommand acCmdRecordsGotoNew
End If
Else
Set rs = Me.RecordsetClone
rs.FindFirst "ID = " & varID
If rs.NoMatch Then
MsgBox "It disappered"
Else
Me.Bookmark = rs.Bookmark
End If
Set rs = Nothing
End If
