Solved Lost!!! (1 Viewer)

Hi everyone,
I have been on this thing on and off for months now and it is so close but due to my uselessness and plain stupidity i just cannot get this last bit working!!!
Obviously i am as usual missing something but i feel i am just chasing errors around???????

I send entered data from an input form to this unbound form:

When i click on the first button (Btn1) i have this code:

Private Sub Btn1_Click()

Me.Position.SetFocus
Me.Position.Text = "1"
Me.Extinguisher.SetFocus
Me.Position1 = Me.Extinguisher.Text

DoCmd.OpenQuery "MessLocationSet"

If Me.Extinguisher.Text = "Wet Chemical" Then
Me.Btn1.BackColor = RGB(0, 201, 87)
Else
If Me.Extinguisher.Text = "Water" Then
Me.Btn1.BackColor = RGB(255, 0, 0)
Else
If Me.Extinguisher.Text = "Foam" Then
Me.Btn1.BackColor = RGB(255, 228, 181)
Else
If Me.Extinguisher.Text = "CO2" Then
Me.Btn1.BackColor = RGB(0, 0, 0)
Else
If Me.Extinguisher.Text = "Powder" Then
Me.Btn1.BackColor = RGB(30, 144, 255)
Else
End If
End If
End If
End If
End If

'DoCmd.OpenQuery "MessUpdate"
'DoCmd.Close , , acSaveYes

'Dim FireExtinguisherDB As DAO.Database
'Dim Item As DAO.Recordset
'
'   Set FireExtinguisherDB = CurrentDb
'   Set Item = FireExtinguisherDB.OpenRecordset("Item")
'
'   Item.AddNew
'   Item!Position = "1"
'   Item!DescriptionRef = Me.TypeRef
''      .
''      . ' Set remaining fields.
''      .
'
'   Item.Update

End Sub

You will see commented out code that i couldnt get working.

I have also been trying these queries below but even though they insert the type and other details from the input form - nothing puts the position no. in the position field of the table 'Item'.

I am just totally confused now so if anyone can help me or something then it would be amazing!

Well I never!
I went off and suddenly had an epiphany!!
The solution was simple:

All i did was once the user had selected the location by clicking on the round location button, I simply passed the position number back to the Input form which is a bound form and of course the record is saved in the table
