try this and let me know Open New Record

I still cannot get it to work.  I don't think I explained it very well the first time.  I have a form called customerprofileF, main form. It has a subform, callinformationform on it.  When I enter a call for a customer in the callinformationform, i have a field called callbackdate.  I have an after update event in the callbackdate field and when tabbed off opens the callbackform.  When the callbackform opens, I want the record I just entered in the callinformationform to display on the callbackform.  Currently the callbackform opens but the record I just left is not listed on the callbackform.

Try using DMax to get the ID for the last record you entered then use that ID in your criteria when you open the form.

Make sure you Refresh the record that you just entered before opening the next form otherwise that record doesn't exist in the table yet.

Thanks everyone. Richard I did put me.refresh in the after update event in the callbackdare on the callinformationform and in the on current event in the callbackform but it still does not load. What am I doing wrong?

Impossible to tell without seeing your code.

Disclaimer:  I am not a developer. My full time job is an Account Manager(Sales Rep). So my code is very basic.

Code for callinformationform

Private Sub CallBackDate_AfterUpdate()

    If CallBack = True Then
        DoCmd.OpenForm "callbackform", , , "accountid=" & AccountID
        
    End If

        Me.Refresh
    
    
End Sub

Code for callbackform

Private Sub Form_Current()

    Me.Refresh
    
End Sub

I will attach a picture of what the forms look like after I enter a callbackdate and tab off the field. The small form is the callbackform and the underneath form is the callinformationform.  the data in the callbackinformation form needs to populate the callbackform fields. The TEST Test Test should be in the notes of the callbackform. The company name, contact, phone number and account number should also populate.  All this information transfers great if you close the record on the callinformationform and reopen the callbackform.  I want to be able to provide a short despription of the callback in the reason for call back field.

Move the Me.Refresh to BEFORE the DoCmd.OpenForm.

Bingo... And you don't need it in the 2nd form

You guys are awesome! Works perfectly!

Make sure you understand WHY you need to do that... you have edited the parent form, but the record is dirty (pencil). That means it hasn't been committed to the table yet. So you need to issue the Refresh command to save that record. NOW you can open the related form. Otherwise, you're opening a form that's trying to access a record that doesn't exist.

Understood. I knew I had to refresh I just wasn't thinking through it logically. Since i dont do this full time, I am still hesitate with code because I think I will mess something up. As I learn, I am becoming more confident to try things. Your videos are outstanding and have given me the confidence to branch out and try more difficult concepts.  Plus, I have taken to heart what you always say, "BACKUP YOUR DATABASE"!

Every mistake you make will be a learning experience. I didn't learn this stuff by osmosis... many nights pulling my hair out wondering WHY stuff doesn't work. :)

Yes sir, that is the only way to learn and grow!  Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
