My Subform will not recognise past transactions (1 Viewer)

[atrium]

I have the parent and child relationship on the right fields for both files.
I can add a record into the subform - no problem. I check the source file to the subform and the new record is there and correct.
I can run the query datasheet view for the subform and manually enter the criteria and I get the right records, including the one just created.
So it points to the criteria field - that it's not carrying the right OrderNo value. The criteria is pointing to [Forms]![OrdersFrm]![OrderNoFld]
a field set up that has the OrderNo (name = OrderNoFld) of the Orders file bound to it on the parent form. I have set it to visible for the moment so I can see what's happening. It's showing the right value.

[arnelgp]

set Data Entry to No.
you will not "see" previous records when this is set to Yes (meaning only New record is accepted).
