Error 2109- find record in subform

L

Loralee

I have an unbound dialog form (frmAddFirstPractitioner) that collects
information from the user. When the user clicks the "okay" button on
frmAddFirstPractitioner, a sub saves the new record and launches another form
with a subform on it. I want the form/subform to open with the new record
open. The form that is launched is frmSitePractionerData and the subform is
frmSitePractitioner. The primary key for the subform (which is created in
the sub when the sub saves the record) goes in the field PractionerNum, which
is on the subform.

This is how it goes: frmSite (launches)-> frmAddFirstPractitioner
(launches) -> frmSitePractitionerData(Which contains frmSitePractitioner)

I keep getting Error 2109 "There is no field named DoCmd.GoToControl
"frmSitePractitionerData!practioner!practionerNum" in the current record".

I have tried the several ways to get to practionerNum but all the things
I've tried (listed below) have not worked.

Am I not referring to the control PractionerNum correctly?

Thanks-

Loralee

the GoToControl command is not going to get you the right record anyway, so
it doesn't matter how you use it in this case.

first, since you're trying to get to a specific record in a subform's
recordset, you need to be sure that the record you're after will be included
in that recordset. if the mainform/subform are linked, that may not be the
case, unless you're controlling what records are returned in the mainform's
recordset and also making sure that the mainform record (which is linked to
the desired subform record) is the current record when the mainform opens.

if the mainform and subform are not linked, the above isn't a consideration.
in that case, you can either restrict the subform records to the record you
want using the subform's Filter property, as

With Forms("frmSitePractitionerData")!SubformControlName.Form
.Filter = "practitionerNum = " & Me!practitionerNum
.FilterOn = True
End With

or find the record you want and go to it without excluding other records
from the subform recordset, as

Dim rst As DAO.Recordset, frm As Form

Set frm = Forms("frmSitePractitionerData")!SubformControlName.Form
Set rst = frm.RecordsetClone

rst.FindFirst "practitionerNum = " & Me!practitionerNum
If Not rst.NoMatch Then
frm.Bookmark = rst.Bookmark
End If

Set rst = Nothing

run either code from the sub procedure that opens frmSitePractitionerData,
*after* the OpenForm command. and replace "SubformControlName" with the
*name of the subform control within the mainform*.

Thank you, Tina. That worked like a charm.

(I had accidentally cut out part of the code to find the match (FindRecord)
that followed. But it never got to finding the record because it could not
find the control. With your suggestion, I don't need the FindRecord.

Thanks again- Loralee
