Default Refresh a subform

I have a subform that displays several values that are chosen based on a
value on the main form.

What I need now is for the subform to update when you change the value of
the linked field on the main form. As it is, I have to switch to a different
record and switch back for it to display the updated information.

Can this be done?
Thanks

Did you link your subform to the control on the parent form? In the
properties of the subform, there is place to enter "link child field", and
"link master fields". If those are connected, the data should refresh when
the value on the parent form changes.

The subform is linked, and it displays the right data, it's just that it
doesn't display the updated data as soon as you make the change on the main
form... you have to leave the record and return to it.

Thanks for any help.

Would it have anything to do with the fact that I am using two linked fields?
I don't see why it would, but something isn't right.
