My subForm works fine. It's "live" and when I alter the value in "Quantity" or change the taxable status my entry is writen to the bound table field. However, the calculated fields (Extended Price and Sale Tax) to not reflect the update until I manually "F5." I snuck into the code page and inserted "Form.Recalc" in several places to make this happen via VBA execution. Rick's doesn't require this step. I've downloaded the DB file and found this to be the case just as in the video.
Nothing urgent. I can be content with my workaround; but, just as a matter of learning, any ideas about what my design lacks?

Ah!
Have I only updated the source query and not the base table? If so, what's the best couse?

When you said the calculated fields don't update, were you still on that record.
They should recalculate when you leave the record.
To have the fields recalculate without leaving the record ad a Me.Refresh to the After Update event of the field being updated.

Great! Yes. I'd not thought of moving off the record. This looks like a nice, clean way to see the updated data. I'm curious to see if Rick's Form has any such provision. However, if this works than it's enough for me. Thanks for your response!
