Form Refresh problem

[DB88]

Hello,

I have a form bound to a query and a VBA code that changes that query's definition (.QueryDefs). The code includes a form refresh (Me.Refresh) but the records don't update. If I close and then re-open the form then the records update. But this is a user interface so I don't want to do that.

Am I doing something wroing with .Refresh or will that just not work in this case?

Try Requery instead of Refresh

That worked!!! Thank you so much, that was the last piece of a Search Interface I've been building for 4 days! It works Happy Dance!!!

Sorry, I don't understand. Do you still have a problem.

Yes, the form doesn't update. If I close the form and then re-open it then the correct records show. Me. Refresh and Me.Requiry do not change the displayed records

Me.Requery does work. Please post your code.

If lngLen1 > 0 Then
CurrentDb.QueryDefs("SubSearch1").SQL = strQ1
Else: CurrentDb.QueryDefs("SubSearch1").SQL = "SELECT DISTINCT Variant FROM Variant"
End If
If lngLen2 > 0 Then
CurrentDb.QueryDefs("SubSearch2").SQL = strQ2
Else: CurrentDb.QueryDefs("SubSearch2").SQL = "SELECT DISTINCT Variant FROM Variant"
End If
If lngLen3 > 0 Then
CurrentDb.QueryDefs("SubSearch3").SQL = strQ3
Else: CurrentDb.QueryDefs("SubSearch3").SQL = "SELECT DISTINCT Variant FROM Variant"
End If
If lngLen4 > 0 Then
CurrentDb.QueryDefs("SubSearch4").SQL = strQ4
Else: CurrentDb.QueryDefs("SubSearch4").SQL = "SELECT DISTINCT Variant FROM Variant"
End If
CurrentDb.QueryDefs("CombineSearch").SQL = "SELECT SubSearch1.Variant, SubSearch2.Variant, SubSearch3.Variant, SubSearch4.Variant FROM SubSearch4 INNER JOIN (SubSearch3 INNER JOIN (SubSearch2 INNER JOIN SubSearch1 ON SubSearch2.Variant = SubSearch1.Variant) ON SubSearch3.Variant = SubSearch1.Variant) ON SubSearch4.Variant = SubSearch1.Variant"
Me.Requery

This is just the portion of the code that sets the Queries and then does a refresh. I figured you didn't need to rest where I set up the strings.
