Subform problems

[JeffreyDavid]

I have a form with a subform in it. The subform won't allow me to add additional lines. My form has all of the customer information on it and the subform records the customers orders. If the customer orders more than 1 thing, the subform won't allow me to record more than one item on one line. Usually in Access, you just keep hitting the Tab button and it automatically appends lines as per needed. Is it because its a subform or a setting within the subform?
Any ideas?

What happens when you try to go past the last field in the subform?

When the cursor is in the last field on the line of the subform, I keep hitting the tab button and it doesn't move. It just stays in the last field. Its almost like the subform is stuck in edit mode rather than add mode. But cannot find a setting like that anywhere.

Is the AllowAdditions property of the subform set to Yes?

Yes the AllowAdditions property is set to Yes. One thing I did notice is that I have an old subform in my DB and it has the same problem. Is this an issue with subforms in Access 97? There has to be a setting somewhere to allow for this.....

I just figured it out. My subform had all unbound fields. As soon as I bound 1 field to the appropriate field I was able to tab through and produce as many lines as I want.
Thanks for all your help and ideas.
