This must be quite a common problem but I can't find a solution so any help
greatly appreciated...
I have some detailed validation code in a main form's Before Update event.
Half way through entering a new record into the form, the user must enter
some data in a subform. The problem is that moving into the subform forces
the main form's new record to update which triggers the Before Update
validation code: something I don't want to happen till the user has had the
chance to fill in the rest of the main form. Is there any way to capture
this? I'm happy for the Before Update to run (if it must!) but I'd like
another event that happens before it or some trappable property that I can
perhaps put into an If to avoid my detailed validation code running until the
user has finished inputting the whole record - subform and main form.
Thanks
