Question : Unbound subform will not requery correctly

I've searched through all of the solutions so far and haven't found one for my particular situation.

I have a database that I'm using to scrape invoice information from a mainframe screen and then write some of it to the main form and some of it to records, which are then displayed in a subform. I'm not having any problems except for getting the subform to requery correctly. Most times, the form stays blank after I send a me.sub1.requery command. Sometimes it will work though. I played around with it and figured out that it was a timing issue. So I paused the code a bit before requery and it seems to work better, but it's not 100%. Sometimes it still doesn't requery. I never had a problem doing this kinda' thing on Access XP, but I recently got a new PC and it came with Access 2007. Ever since, the littlest things have been messing me up.

Here is the code I'm using...

Answer : Unbound subform will not requery correctly

"ADO because it is more curent "
Not really. DAO is optimized to work with MDB's. However, moving the SQL eventually is a valid reason.

" I can check that the record has been written"

Then why not try that ?
