thanks alot for your answer but i get an error message after the first line (it's a sub form so it's look like this :

DoCmd.GoToRecord acDataForm, "Forms!form1parent!form1child.Form", acNewRec

and i get an error message like this "run time error 2489 the object "Forms!form1parent!form1child.Form" isn't open. But the form is actually open, so what is going on there?
