Split Form annomolly when opening passing open Args

[bbrazeau]

I have code that parses my openargs array and opens a form (as a split form) populating 3 fields with data. The problem is I can't then move to other fields and enter data (I'm limited to the one I'm on) unless I click the record in the data sheet portion of the form 1st then I can enter data in the regular form. I've tried saving the record 1st, but still it won't allow data entry. If I put a save record on the after update event of the field I'm left on it works OK, but this seems like a hack to me. Any ideas?

Is this the default Access split form or one you have made yourself using a form a subform?
The default version is notoriously tricky to work with if it's adapted at all.
You might want to try out an emulated spit form designed to overcome the shortcomings of the native version

If you want help with code, post code for analysis.

This actually sounds familiar. Now if I can just find that thread, wasn't so long ago. Think I found thread but issue Is not same. However, reinforces that split form may not be best choice for customization code.
