I someone tell me how these work and when the subform updates itslelf based on these fields?

If i link a subform with variable "X", then I'd expect that if I change "X" in the parent form, the subform would filter based on the new value of that variable.

Example: If my OrderDetail subform is linked to the Order form with the OrderID field, if I change the OrderID in the Order form, I'd expect the result of the subform to change. It does not

When does it change/update?

Thanks

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
Do you mean switching to another record, or staying on the record and just changing the ID?
The first is how it should work. Once you have an ID for an order, you shouldn't change it.
If you are changing the ID so you can effectively browse to that order, try this technique instead.
