Strange field population problem on form

[tractorvix]

Hi all,

I have a continuous form (form 2) which lists updates,
the very top of the form shows linked information from another form (form 1) as form 2 is a pop up form which opens on a button click from form 1. This all works tickety boo.

However, I am trying to get rid of the spare row at the bottom of the form (new record row) as I have a specific input box further up with unbound controls where I need them to enter new data, firstly because it looks nicer to have the new input box at the top rather than the bottom of the form and secondly so that I can do some error checking before I save the new record to the table.

So I have tried changing the allow additions property to no on the form, but for some reason this means that the fields at the top of the form do not get populated and show blank values.

I'm not entirely sure why this is or how I can get around it. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

It's ok, I've found a work around
if I populate the fields in the on open event rather than binding them to form 1, it works.

Thanks anyhoo
