Can not Reference the Main form from the sub form

[Mack2]

I have one sub form on my main form. I am trying to set a check box value from my sub form, to my main form. So when I click a button on my sub form, it checks my check box on the main form.

The last expression I tryed was Me.Parent!ControlName

Thanks for your help!!!

Have you tried the expression builder (loaded forms) ?

Hope This Helps, PH.

Yes, I have. That is what I go to first. And for some reason, it gives me error messages. The error reads "Problem communicating with the ole server or active x contol"

THANKS

Try this syntax -

Me.Parent.ControlName

Or

Me.Parent.Form.ControlName.Value

Thanks for the reply's.

It is still bringing up that error message. I did get the same error message when I selected a dropdown box. So I wonder if it has to do with something else besides the syntax. This is crazy.
Any other thought would be appreciated!
Thanks
