Data doesn't show up in bound fields

[LAS]

I have a form with two bound fields. I create a new row and assign the
bound fields values, but they don't show up on the form. What do I need to
do to make them show up? Here's the code.

If (IsNull(cboStudent_ID) Or cboStudent_ID = "") Then
MsgBox ("Please choose a student.")
Exit Sub
End If
If IsNull(txtStartDate) Or txtStartDate = "" Then
MsgBox ("Please choose a date.")
Exit Sub
End If
Me.Requery

Set irst_StudentTracking = Me.Recordset

With irst_StudentTracking
If (.EOF = True) And (.BOF = True) Then
.AddNew
!Student_ID = cboStudent_ID
!Incident_Date = txtStartDate
End If
End With

Why are you requerying the form?

What "Recordset"?

ADO or DAO?

Version of Access?

Is the FORM bound as well?

More info, please...

This problem went away when I re-created the form from scratch, copying in
controls and scripts from the old form one by one.

For future reference, how do I find out whether I'm using ADO or DAO? When
you say "what recordset," how would I answer that? It's Me.Recordset.
Don't know of any othe way to qualify it.

I'd probably check in the Modules, and look at which Reference was higher on
the list (DAO or ADO). Some versions of Access put DAO higher, others put
ADO higher.

I had never used the Me.Recordset property before, but it seems like it
should return all the records that are "feeding" the form or report in which
this code runs.

Good luck!

I had never used the Me.Recordset property before, but it seems
like it should return all the records that are "feeding" the form
or report in which this code runs.

Me.Recordset is a reference to the actual recordset that's in the
form's edit buffer, so it will be absolutely identical, and changes
to its data and to record pointer will be immediately reflected in
the form itself.

These reasons are why I avoid ever using it.
