I've settled this one by changing to a combo box and using your code.

Bingo! she's a good one.

Thanks very much

Yes, that's what makes the difference! We have been using the Form_Open
event for a subform, which obviously only opens once, so the event won't
fire next time.
In light of the new information, you need to use a different event to
trigger the action, and thst's the combo's On Change event; since you're
familiar with VBA code, put this in the combo's On Change event:

Me.YourSubformNameHere.SetFocus
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec

This should do the trick.
