Control Source problem?

[Ursula]

Hello,

I have an employee form where on the form I have a button
to Go To Record (to choose an employee)which opens my
GoToRecordDialog form. This was working fine until I
changed the control source on the employee form from the
employee table to a query that includes the employee table
and another job class table. (Needed to do this to pull in
a description)

I can still get to the GoToRecordDialog and see the records
in my employee table, but when I select a record and click
on the button called Show Record, the record in the
employee form does not update to show the selected record.

Here's the code:
Private Sub ShowRecord_Click()
'Find the selected record, then close the dialog box.

Dim rst As DAO.Recordset

'Store the recordset for the Employees form.
Set rst = Forms!frmEmployees.RecordsetClone

'Locate the record for the selected employee.
rst.FindFirst "lngEmployeeID = " & List0

'Set the form's bookmark property to move to the record.
Forms!frmEmployees.Bookmark = rst.Bookmark

'Close the dialog box.
DoCmd.Close acForm, "GoToRecordDialog"
End Sub

The error is in the Set rst line as Access says it can't
find the form titled frmEmployees. I didn't change the
name of the form, only the control source. How do I get it
to work again? I compacted and repaired the database, but
still no luck. Any tips or advice would be wonderful.

Thanks

Hi Dirk,
\I tried the code in the debug window and frmEmployees
shows as an available form when the Go To Dialog is open.

What do you think I should try next? Thanks

If you're sure the error is raised on the line you mentioned, and the
error message is that it can't find the form, then I'm at a loss for the
moment. If you'd like to send me a cut-down copy of your database,
containing only the elements necessary to demonstrate the problem,
compacted and then zipped to less than 1MB in size (preferably much
smaller) -- I'll have a look at it, time permitting. You can send it
to the address derived by removing NO SPAM from the reply address of
this message.

Okay, I'll pare it down and hopefully you'll have a chance
to look at the piece. If the frmEmployees is not open I
get the can't find form response, and it frmEmployees is
open, it simply does not switch.

Thanks

GREAT! It worked, thank you so much for taking time out to
look at it!
