I'm having problems refreshing a local table in a subform. After selecting a
new customer on the main form, my code is supposed to delete the records in
the subform and inserts the current customer's records for display . The odd
thing is that when I insert a breakpoint and step through the code
line-by-line, the subform displays the new records just as I intended. But
when I remove the break point, the subform remains on the previous customer.
What is it about executing the code line-by-line that causes the subform to
behave differently?

The code executed line-by-line gives up control to Access and Windows
between each line, so events can occur.

As to your other problem, if you are displaying related tables and have used
the LinkMasterFields and LinkChildFields to synchronize the Form with the
Form in its Subform Control, I would not expect results such as you are
seeing the contents of the Form in the Subform should automatically be
synched when the record in the parent Form changes.

But, if your code must do something to reset the contents of the Subform, I
couldn't address that without details of your data, how it's laid out in
tables, how it's accessed, etc.. You, after all, have the database in front
of you, but we are dependent on your description to be able to help.

Inserting DoEvents should solve the problem.
