records wont save

[Guest]

I have 7 forms in my database. 4 of the forms will maintain the records the
first time around. The other 2 require that I manually save the record on the
main form or I must go back and re-entered. They do not recognize the data
from the main form the first time around. Why is that? How do I resolve?

If the entry is being silently discared, see:

That only works if I'm closing the form, what if I'm opening a form from the
original form?

If you want to open the same record in another form, then, yes: you must
save it.

This line of code should to it:
If Me.Dirty Then Me.Dirty = False
