Description: I have a form with multiple subforms, some of which are linked to tables that are used to populate dropdown boxes in other subforms. After adding another record into a tables, I need to hit "Refresh Control" in order for the new record to appear in the drop down box and to be able to select it. So far, so good. However, even when I have selected a column or cell in a subform that I want to refresh the control for, the refresh control button is grayed out. I often have to click around several times in several different subforms on my form before I can refresh the control I want to refresh. I'm not certain this is as much a problem with the refresh control button as it is a general problem having to do with mouse clicks not appropriately selecting what the click is intended to select. My mouse clicks *appear* to select what I want them to, but then I can't do what I want to do in that cell on the form. Sometimes I will have selected a cell to type something into but the text I type gets entered into a cell on the subform I was previously working in. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Enter data into a cell in a subform. 2.Select a cell in another subform. 3.Attempt to refresh control. Actual Results: The refresh control button remains greyed out. Expected Results: The refresh control button should be available to hit refresh.

Only one hint: Refreshing a control should only work in controls, which select content (listboxes, comboboxes).
Thanks for following up. I would forward my files, except they contain information about myself and others that I would not feel comfortable sharing. I just put up with my issue as an annoyance. Often when I have entered an new bit of data into a table (and want to be able to select that newly entered item from within a drop down box elsewhere on my form) I just click on to an number of different fields and/or cells in tables and then come back to the cell that I need to refresh the drop down selections for. The option to refresh the control is then no longer grayed out and I can refresh the control, select the new item in the drop down box, and carry on. Perhaps this is issue is caused by something unique to my forms and tables and the way I have set them up.

When you have time, you could create a minimal reproducer that does not contain any meaningful information.
