Hi again,
I have the form.test2 in form.test1
This is the after event of the textbox.

Private Sub txtSearchReg_AfterUpdate()
Dim rs As Object
Set rs = Me.Recordset.Clone
rs.FindFirst "[visitorlog.License_Tag_Number] = " &
Str(Nz(Me![txtSearchReg], 0))
If Not rs.EOF Then Me.Bookmark = rs.Bookmark
Me.License_Tag_Number.SetFocus
Me.txtSearchReg = ""
End Sub

The listbox in form2 does not find the record I entered above. The control
source in the list is License Tag Number, row source type table/query, row
source vistitlog table. I dont get any errors after I type in the tag number
but it does not locate the desired record. I'm thinking its in my sources of
list27, but I really dont know.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Try changing the Set Rs line to

Set rs = Me.RecordsetClone

Also, why not
Dim rs as DAO.Recordset

I would write the code:

Private Sub txtSearchReg_AfterUpdate()
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset

If Len(Me.txtSearchReg & "") <> 0 Then 'Optional line
Set rs = Me.RecordsetClone
rs.FindFirst "[License_Tag_Number] = " & Me.txtSearchReg

If rs.NoMatch = False then Me.Bookmark = rs.Bookmark

Me.License_Tag_Number.SetFocus
Me.txtSearchReg = Null
Else
'If desired
'Insert alternate code if txtSearchReg is null
End If 'Optional line

End Sub

Hi John,
Thanks for input I put your code in but it did not work either.
Tell me about the form2 setup, What should my data tab look like, and the
bound colume, is that bound to the colume I see or colume of tag number in
the table?
form1, When I add an after event that goes into the txtbox it does not want
the txt prefix.

Private Sub SearchReg_AfterUpdate()
End Sub

I can really use some help on this and thank you in advance.

Hi again

I just tested the code that Joh gave you and it works fine for me.
I think the problem may be that you are searching a sub form for a record on
the main form

Place a text box in the main form (based on a query that holds the reg
numbers)
Ensure that there is a control linked to the reg number on the main form
You can hide the controls if you don't want to see them
Ensure that your main form and subform are linked by the primary field (of
the source of the sub form) - so this will need be be the source of a control
on both forms
This should work ?

I missed that you were doing this with a form and subform.

Form2.List27
Form1.txtSearchReg

You are entering a tag number into txtSearchReg.
Then you want to search the listbox (List27) on form2? and highlight a row in
the listbox?

Or do you want to search the records that are currently in form2? And go to
the record if it exists?

Assuming the latter then the code might look like the following UNTESTED code.

Private Sub txtSearchReg_AfterUpdate()
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim frmAny as Form

If Len(Me.txtSearchReg & "") <> 0 Then 'Optional line
Set frmAny = Me.NameOfSubFormControl.Form
Set rs = frmAny.RecordsetClone

rs.FindFirst "[License_Tag_Number] = " & Me.txtSearchReg

If rs.NoMatch = False then Me.Bookmark = rs.Bookmark

frmAny.License_Tag_Number.SetFocus
Me.txtSearchReg = Null

Else
'If desired
'Insert alternate code if txtSearchReg is null
End If 'Optional line

End Sub

If you are searching the list box then you need a variation on the code. You
would step through the values in the list box and compare thenm to the value
in txtSearchReg.

I assumed (dumb, dumb, dumb) that License Tag Number was a number field.
Obvious (when I bother to think about it) that it would be a text field. And
that means you need to include quote marks around txtSearchReg in the string.

Three ways to do that would be:

rs.FindFirst "[License Tag Number] = """ & Me.txtSearchReg & """"

OR

rs.FindFirst "[License Tag Number] = "& Chr(34) & Me.txtSearchReg & Chr(34)

OR

rs.FindFirst "[License Tag Number] = '" & Me.txtSearchReg & "'"

[John Spencer]

Do you have a control on the subform named License Tag Number? Probably
not. Maybe something close like License_Tag_Number?

And if the line fails, what error message do you get? The error message
often points the problem.

I have a record source for form2 called visitorlog, the table.
I just control source for the list to License Tag Number, that did not help.

frmAny.[License Tag Number].SetFocus
this is the line that fails. member
object doesn support this property or method.

I guess I'm not sure what you mean be control, I added the field itself
license tag number, but I'm thinking thats not what you mean.

In Design view:
Click on the object (a control) on the form that shows License Tag
Number field. Now select properties and in the window that shows the
properties for the control, click on OTHER tab. The Other tab's first
property should be the NAME of the control.

You cannot set frmAny to just any control. You must set it to the form
property of the sub-form control.

Once that is done, you still need to know the name of the control on the
sub-form control's form that you want to set the focus to.

And now that I think about it you may need to set the focus the
subcontrol first.

Me.NameOfSubControl.SetFocus
frmAny.LicenseTabNumber.SetFocus
