Referancing a subforms control

[Guest]

i have a value i would like to assign to a subforms control but i am having
no luck in doing so.

the main form is called "Site_info_frm"
the subform is called "FAsub_info_frm"
and the control is called "File_path"

could someone show me how to put them together to insert the value.

Thanks

The basic synthax is:

Forms![MAinFromName]![SubFormName].Form.[ControlName]

so in your case you could do something like:

Forms![Site_info_frm]![FAsub_info_frm].Form.[File_Path]="NewValue"

 

[Douglas J. Steele]

Forms!Site_info_frm!FAsub_info_frm.Form!File_path

Note, though, that depending on how you added FAsub_info_frm as a subform on
Site_info_frm, it's possible that the subform control on Site_info_frm might
be named something other than FAsub_info_frm. If the subform control on
Site_info_frm is named something other that FAsub_info_frm, us the name of
the subform control instead.

On my website (www.rogersaccesslibrary.com), is a small Access database
sample called "SubformReference.mdb" which illustrates how to handle a lot
of reference issues on subforms and sub-subforms.
