unbound controls headache

[psuplat]

Hi. I've got a little problem with the unbound controls on continuous form.
In form header user inputs his name, temperature, humidity, and number of tools used (drum, belt). Then on forms main "body" he only inputs the serial number to the first field and the rest is field automatically.
The problem with this is that the first record doesn't fill up automatically, and after every next is already filled even before user inputs serial number.

How can I make those values from header be inputed into relative field after user inputs the serial number. I'm guessing AfterUpdate event, but don't know how?

I'm attaching small drawing, should help explain what I'm about.

Thanks for help.

Set your default Value of the Parent Form's values.

that's what i've got now. thing is that with the default values the first row always stays empty (unfilled), and after the default values are placed even before user inputs anything in the first field. I want those values to show after user fills he first field an goes to the next record.

Not a big Main/Sub form user, however I think it has something to do with the state of the current record on your subform. If the child record is in an unsaved format then main form has nothing to post it to. I could be wrong.
