calling a mainform subroutine from a subform

[Tom Ross]

I have a button 'cmdWLetters' on the main form 'SpoolTasks' Beneath the
button is a subroutine 'cmdWLetters_click()'

I want to call that routine from the doubleclick event of a control
'weldletters' on a subform 'TasksWithNames'

I can't figure out the syntax to call that subroutine from the subform. (It
works simply form a control on the main form


Private Sub weldletter_DblClick(Cancel As Integer)

cmdWLetters_click

End Sub

Stumbled on one


Call Form_SpoolTasks.cmdWLetters_Click

Change the declaration of the procedure "cmdWLetters_Click" on the main
form from Private Sub to Public Sub. Then you can write:

Me.Parent.cmdWLetters_Click

Stumbled on one


Call Form_SpoolTasks.cmdWLetters_Click


Any others that would work? Since you are here already...

Thanks

It was indeed the lack of 'Public' declaration that had me trying all sorts
of Mes forms dots and bangs
