You can move from one subform to another by testing the key that was pressed in the KeyDown event procedure.eg.

If KeyCode = 9 then
Forms![MainForm]![Subform].setfocus
Endif

Alternatively, you can program a function key to sendkeys Ctrl-Tab to move between subforms.

i mainly have textboxes,and the procedures which i get for the subform are on enter and on exit.
if i write a procedure in the form which is a subform in another for ,will it work. through the main form.

You will need to write the procedure in the Keydown event of the last, or only, text box of each subform.
