Hi,
In your SQL statement you most likely have something like:
Select * From TableX Where [field1] = Forms![Name of
Form]![Control on Form]
it works when the Form is opened by itself. It fails when the Form is
opened as a subForm because the Form [Name of Form] is not in the Forms
collection. So what you need to do is modify your SQL statement to
something like:
Select * From TableX Where [field1] =
Forms![Name of main Form]![subForm control].Form![name of
control on subForm]
See: ACC2000: How to Refer to a Control on a Subform or Subreport

I hope this helps! If you have additional questions on this topic, please
respond back to this posting.

| I have a subform with two combo boxes and I want the data displayed in
the second box to be based on the selection from the first combo box. I am
using a SQL statement in the record source with a WHERE statement to equate
the two selections. This works fine when i open the subform on its own but
when I open the main form where the subform is on a Tab control Page it no
longer works. The subform is linked to the main form on an unique ID
number. When I open the main form, I get a msg box asking me to enter a
parameter value for the criteria statement. Any ideas?
