Sub-form controls

[Guest]

I have a master form (frmMaster) with two sub-forms (sfrmDetail1) and
(sfrmDetail2). Both sub-forms are contained in sub-form controls using the
same names as the sub forms.
I would like to populate a textbox (txtLicense) on sfrmDetail2 with the
contents of a textbox (txtOriginalID) on sfrmDetail1. I am having a problems
trying to refer to the appropriate controls. I have tried:
(forms.frmmaster.sfrmDetail2.form!txtlicense =
forms.frmMaster.sfrmDetail2.form!txtOriginalID). I get an error the the
object doesn't support the method or property.
Any help in how to refer to these controls would be appreciated.
Thanks
AJ

Is that the actual line of code you tried? I ask because you've
referred to sfrmDetail2 twice. Also, the reference "forms.frmmaster" is
not valid; the bang (!) should be used instead of the dot (.).

You should be able to write

With Forms!frmMaster
!sfrmDetail2.Form!txtLicense =
!sfrmDetail1.Form!txtOriginalID
End With

However, where and when -- in what event -- are you trying to do this?
In some events, the controls on both subforms might not be fully
instantiated.
