I'd suggest this.
Copy the form.
Remove the CBO.
Put in a button with this in the click()

SELECT [parent]
SKIP 1
IF EOF()
  GO TOP
ENDIF
thisform.refresh()

Just see if the fields all display the *correct* record's information.

Next, please post (if you care to, of course) what your two tables are, their aliases, their order properties and whether the relation is one to many. You can get this information by selecting View/Data Environment menu option. The cursors will be there and you can view a properties sheet for them and the DE just like for a form.
