Coding Question 1

[bjdobs]

In the process of merging together several forms into a tab control form and finding I have a problem because I used absolute references to form fields and objects ... is there a FAQ or tec reference that describes methods of dereferencing so that these forms will work either as forms or subforms?

 

[PHV]

The usual way is to play with the Me keyword.

Hope This Helps, PH.

I hate it when you look for something that is right under your nose ... thanx TEK-TIPS!!!

PS ... Me doesn't work in Queries so I was still forced to use absolute references for my parameter queries ... I tried to use the getVariable method but it was very slow
