running a cmdbutton_click event from a subform...

Brad Pears

I want to run the click event of a particular command button on the main
form - when I am on a subform.

I tried the following syntax but it does not work...

forms![frmMain].CommandButton_Click

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Brad

Hi Brad

In the declaration of the CommandButton_Click procedure, change "Private" to
"Public".

Then you can call it directly from the subform via its Parent property:
Call Me.Parent.CommandButton_Click
