I think you might find it works  real well if you do the following (I
downloaded your form and tried it myself):



1. set  the Default property on cmdAdd to True

2. Remove the AfterUpdate event handler

3. Go back to your "real" cmdAdd_Click handler instead of the ucmdAdd_Click
handler



I think the one key piece of missing info is the Default property on a
CommandButton. (You set it in the form designer, you know?)
