Don't want to save record??

[lipin]

I have a form that has a subform on it and the subform opens with the click of a button on the form. If this button is clicked inadvertantly or in error I have another button to return the focus to the main form and go on with the data entry. When I save the record it saves a blank record in the table linked to the subform. Is there a way to avoid this? I would like the button to return focus to the main form without saving the blank record of the subform. Thanks.

Is there some event or default value dirtying the subform?

Well I had several of the fields for the subform set to required, so I couldn't close or go back to main form without getting the message "such and such is required" so I just gave them some default values of 0s.

So I see what you are saying, it is now saving all the default 0s. Should I undo defaults? How can I get it to close if some fields are required?
