Updating linked fields on Forms

[wakiwi]

I have two forms linked by a field "JUVIS". My problem is that I can't get the second form to show data newly entered on the first form without moving to another record on the first form. I have a command button on the first form that
opens the second form. All works well, meaning the forms are synchronized,based on the JUVIS field, except in the case of entering new data. In this case the second form opens to a blank screen instead of showing the JUVIS field. The forms are both linked to tables not to queries. Any help would be appreciated

are you saving the record before you press any buttons?

Yes I am saving the form, that is why I don't understand this. Saving doesn't seem to make a difference, unless you close the first form or go to another record. If I close the first form when you reopen the first form you don't always return to the record that you were just entering. I need to be on the record I just entering to open the approporiate second form.
