Macro referencing on Subforms

[DBritter]

I first created created individual forms, but when I went to insert some of those forms as subforms the macros didn't work I could not figure out how to reference them in order to make them work. The macros are basically turning on and off the visible property on certain controls based on events within the subform.

The controls you are trying to manipulate on the subform must now be referenced as controls of the parent form via the subform window.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>For example, if the parent form is called: frmMain<br>the subform window on the parent form is called: subWindow<br>the control is a command button called: cmdPrint<br>You refer to the command button on the subform like:<br><br>forms!frmMain!subWindow!cmdPrint<br><br>instead of: forms!frmNowASubform!cmdPrint<br><br>Give it a try. <p>-Chopper<br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href= > </a><br>
