Refreshing a Subform
Richard Lanoue 
    
6 years ago
when Updating a sub-form, I always have to put a command button with the code "Me.refresh" or "Me.Requery".  I'd like to know how to work on two separate forms. And when I close one it triggers an event to have a listbox on a subform to refresh and requery.  Thereby, never having to close it and reopen it, or adding an update button on the subform itself.  Is that possible and how so?

So you have a total of 3 forms here? Form 1 (parent) with Form 2 (child) and then a third form that is being updated? You want closing Form 3 to trigger a refresh of a listbox on Form 2? Is that right? If so, in the OnClose event for Form 3, just say:

Forms!Form1!Form2.Form!ListBox.Requery

That should do the trick - if I'm understanding your question correctly. I've had something like this before where a subform had a listbox (let's say products) and you want to add a new product in a popup form, and when that form closes, requery the list of products.
