Nikos,

Thanks for that further information. I will take that option because I
like the way that the list box displays the list without the need for
a click.

Robin,

Sorry for the delay, I was away for a few days. Glad you worked it out.
You could have done it just as well with the listbox, using the On Click
event instead.

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

Bingo! she's a good one.

Thanks very much

Now this may be associated with the fact that the form is a sub form
with members called from a combo box on the main form.

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.

Nikos
