Form Object Problem
Chris Bezant 
      
4 years ago
I have a routine that requires a form object.
This works fine when called from a main form.
My problem is on a form that has a subform.

My main form is called CoinDetailF.
The subform object is called SubformArea.
I use the same subform area to display different subforms to save screen space as taught by Richard.

The subform I am trying to process is ValueSubF.
I change the SourceObject using    Me.SubFormArea.SourceObject = "ValueSubF".

To call my routine with a form object as an argument I have tried :

Set Frm=  forms(ValueSubF)

Set Frm = Forms!CoinDetailF.ValueSubF

All my efforts produce errors.

Can anyone shine a little light into my dim l

No, that doesn't work either.
That line gives me error 2465 Cannot find the field ValueSubF
This is driving me crackers!

Try:
Set Frm = Forms!CoinDetailF!SubFormArea.Form
