Subform Refresh

[Guest]

I've tried about a dozen things posted on this discussion group and I'm
messing something up somewhere.

Here goes:
I have a form "Audits" with 2 subforms "AuditResults subform" (yes, there
is a space in there) and "AuditScores subform".

When I am finished with my work in "AuditResults subform", I want to click a
button that does the following:
Run an append query that will post the results to the AuditScores table
Refreshes/Requeries/Repaints the "AuditScores subform" to show the results
Goes anywhere other than where it started (insert any field here).

I've tried macros, but I can't repaint the form unless it has the focus, and
of course I can't get the macro to send the focus to the subform.
I've tried code:

Private Sub Finalize_Click()
DoCmd.RunMacro "SetFinalScore"
Me.[AuditScores_subform].SetFocus
'also tried Me.AuditScores subform.SetFocus
'and tried Me.[AuditScores subform].SetFocus
Me.[AuditScores_subform].Requery
'also tried Me.AuditScores subform.Requery
'and tried Me.[AuditScores subform].Requery
End Sub

I cannot figure out what I'm doing wrong. I'd REALLY like to do this in a
Macro (company doesn't support VB) but at this point I'll take any help I can
get. Anyone have a few minutes to help me out?

Here is the error I get:
Run-time error '2465':
Microsoft Access can't find the field '|' referred to in your expression.

Where is the Finalize CommandButton?

If it is on the Subform "[AuditResults subform]", you cannot use "Me" in
this case since "Me" refers to the Subform and not the MainForm.

I did something similar. In this example, I used the long-hand version of
the name for the form. The subforms are on the same parent form, but I had
trouble referring to them using the Me.Parent.etc. type of name. When I
selected a new value in the drop down in my 1st subform (Combo22) I wanted
the available values in the second subform to automatically update and be
refreshed.

Dim EstValue as String

EstValue = Me.Combo22

Forms!EmailQuote![Est_Levels subform].Form!Combo33 = EstValue
Forms!EmailQuote![Est_Levels subform].Requery

Hope this helps you out.

The Finalize command button is on the subform "AuditResults subform".

So I'm guessing my version of your code would look like this?
Private Sub Finalize_Click()
DoCmd.RunMacro "SetFinalScore"
Forms!Audits![AuditScores_subform].SetFocus
Forms!Audits![AuditScores_subform].Requery
End Sub

Do I need to actually set the focus on a field in the subform, or can I just
set the subform as the focus? (Or do I need to set the focus at all - can I
just send the Requery or Repaint command without having to first move to the
subform?)

I did something similar. In this example, I used the long-hand version of
the name for the form. The subforms are on the same parent form, but I had
trouble referring to them using the Me.Parent.etc. type of name. When I
selected a new value in the drop down in my 1st subform (Combo22) I wanted
the available values in the second subform to automatically update and be
refreshed.

Dim EstValue as String

EstValue = Me.Combo22

Forms!EmailQuote![Est_Levels subform].Form!Combo33 = EstValue
Forms!EmailQuote![Est_Levels subform].Requery

Hope this helps you out.

Still doesn't work. When I run the code, this is the erorr I get:
"The object you referenced in the Visual Basic procedure as an OLE object
isn't an OLE object."

Here is my code now:
Private Sub Finalize_Click()
DoCmd.RunMacro "SetFinalScore"
Forms!Audits![AuditScores subform].SetFocus
Forms!Audits![AuditScores subform].Requery
End Sub

The 'DoCmd.RunMacro "SetFinalScore"' line is the one highlighted in the
debug window.

I did something similar. In this example, I used the long-hand version of
the name for the form. The subforms are on the same parent form, but I had
trouble referring to them using the Me.Parent.etc. type of name. When I
selected a new value in the drop down in my 1st subform (Combo22) I wanted
the available values in the second subform to automatically update and be

Dim EstValue as String

EstValue = Me.Combo22

Forms!EmailQuote![Est_Levels subform].Form!Combo33 = EstValue
Forms!EmailQuote![Est_Levels subform].Requery

FYI, it was the syntax. Everyone has been telling me to use the ! between
Forms and the name of the parent form. This is what worked:

Private Sub Finalize_Click()
DoCmd.RunMacro "SetFinalScore"
Forms.Audits.[AuditScoresSubform].Requery
End Sub

Sure would be nice if Microsoft would provide syntax for ALL commands and
references, not just the obvious ones! (...hmmm, should it be . or ! at the
end of that sentence...)

I did something similar. In this example, I used the long-hand version of
the name for the form. The subforms are on the same parent form, but I had
trouble referring to them using the Me.Parent.etc. type of name. When I
selected a new value in the drop down in my 1st subform (Combo22) I wanted
the available values in the second subform to automatically update and be
refreshed.

Dim EstValue as String

EstValue = Me.Combo22

Forms!EmailQuote![Est_Levels subform].Form!Combo33 = EstValue
Forms!EmailQuote![Est_Levels subform].Requery
