I do not understand. Let's say, a person in the main form has a collection of
items in a subform.
As you append/edit/delete items to the subform each of them inherits the
person-ID of the selected parent form and there should be no need to refresh
anything in the parent form since the subform edits another table.

The database I have in mind is attached to:
http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=100&t=40444
Each person (red) can be associated with one animal(blue) and with many
things(yellow). You can edit/insert/delete all subforms without touching or
refreshing the parent form.

Or do you have a main form as "selector" for the same editable items in the
subform? In this case you may have switched the roles of main and subforms.
You should have one editable main form and all related (but not the same)
data in as many subforms as needed so each form in that hierarchy reflects
one editable row set, related to but different from the other row sets.

There is also a technique which allows us to pick an item from a main form's
list box in order to get the editable item attributes in a subform. This is
described in
http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=100&t=42845 
You can edit the subform content and refresh the list box only in the parent
form using the second refresh button on the toolbar. This will refresh the
list box content without modifying its selected item nor the record
position.
