In Microsoft Access 2000, one of the subforms appears fine when entering the
first record. However, after the first record is entered and the "Add new"
button is clicked again, the subform is blank. What could be causing this?

Click to expand...

Normally the MasterLink and ChildLink properties of the subform control are
set so that the subform only display records that are related to the record
currently displayed in the parent form. When you are on a new record in the
parent there are not going to be any matching records in the subform.

If you are using a subform in a manner where you want to see all records all
the time regardless of which parent record you are on then those two
properties should be blank.
