Re: Redrawing List Subform...
Problem solved. The record was being added but was not part of the current selection. A query was added that performs the same duty as the automatic Relate Many. So the problem was not one of object redraw it was data related.

Re: Redrawing List Subform...
a listbox (selection) has to have it's content updated to show a change in display. Use set, use named selection, query <[table]>. if you: - delete a record from the list - but do not remove it from the current selection (which seems to force the redraw) the listbox still shows the deleted record. - add 1 (or more) records through the listbox, you need to update the selection displayed (add the new record(s) to the current selection) or they will not show up. As I mentioned before, I do whatever query is is needed to gather the data to be displayed, then place those results into a set. - If I delete record(s) they are differenced out of the original records displayed. & Used - If I add record(s) they added to the set. & Used - If the user does a query (which is a query selection), and then clears the query entry area, the original records (with deletions and additions) is redisplayed by Using the set. -- this has an advantage of not having to re-run the original query repeatedly.

Apparently, there is plenty of confusion about redrawing subforms.

Redrawing List Subform...
I have a list subform showing related records and when a record is added via programming the list does not update. So, I tried to use Redraw using the: object name; variable name, table name as a parameter and the redraw did not occur. Also, Redraw window had no affect either. Any ideas on how to get this simple subform to refresh?
