Unwanted Enter Parameter Value Box

Not to mention that Apple is one of those proponents of "no repair by outside provider." Once they have their hooks into you, you are hooked tight. Bad enough that the feds are looking into forcing that to change.

Sorry to bug you again folks...
Got the laptop/tablet (thanks isladogs!) and now trying to adapt the form (which now works fine (thanks all!) to the smaller screen size - image attached.
Think pop up forms are the answer and the Add/Edit Customer one works fine but when I try to replace the Enter New Line Item subform with a pop up version I get "You must enter a value in the 'Order Details.Order ID' field.
Tried (in my bumbling way) to fix it but failing... any ideas?
Think one issue is getting the order ID from the main form to the pop up and possibly another is does the order need to be saved before the order detail can be added to the order?

Have got the Order ID to the pop up by using Modal & Cycle Current Record with Default value on Order ID referencing the main form's Order ID...
But get error show on pic when trying to save it.

You need to have a parent record, before you can save a child record.?
So do you fill the FK with the correct value?

Got it working !!!!
Sorry for all the questions .... but it is great how formulating the questions often suggests the solutions.
Wish I was a clearer thinker :-/
