Referencing form properties from another form

[forstatd]

I am stuck......

Hopefully someone can answer why this doesnt work. I
have a form that I created called "Review". On the form I
have a Command Button, that when clicked opens another
form called "Criteria". Also, on the On Click event of
the command button I want to set the Modal=True and set
the navigation buttons off, on the form "Criteria" by
using the following code:

Forms!Criteria.Form.Modal = True
Forms!Criteria.NavigationButtons = False

These two lines of code work good....but I am having a
problem with two additional lines, one to set the
controlbox=True...

Forms!Criteria.ControlBox = True

This brings up an error #2448-You can't assign a value to
this object.

I also would like to lock (locked=true) and disable
(enabled=false) a subform called "Comments"
on "Criteria" The subforms control is called "frmSub".
I have no idea on how to refer to this in code. I have
tried, but get errors..

Forms!Criteria!frmSub.form.enabled=False
Forms!Criteria!frmSub.form.Locked=true

Any ideas as to what I am missing, to get these lines of
code to work. Thanks in advance!

Try this instead

Forms!Criteria.Form!frmSub.Enabled=False
Forms!Criteria.Form!frmSub.Locked=True

I tried that also, but I can still click in on the
subform and enter info into controls...doesn't seem to be
locked.........

Thanks for your reply!

Hard to say without seeing everything. It works just fine for me.
