Subform Reference on New Form
stevem

First, excuse my naming as I am still working on the project.
I have a form that displays a custom purchase order for audit purposes called ABC123. I have the following control source in a text box for an order total: =[Forms]![ReviewPurchaseOrder]![Text378].
Text378 pulls data from another form AddPurchaseOrder. That form has the control source in a text box for the subforms order total: =[RequisitionSubForm].[Form]![txtSubTotal].
I have two other forms (that are similar except one auto generates a specific PO number and the other does not generate a number) that also link to the ABC123. Is there a way to replace the [ReviewPurchaseOrder] with [Me] in the expression =[Forms]![ReviewPurchaseOrder]![Text378] or alternative that will work with all three forms?
Otherwise I have to make three variations of ABC123.



Reply from Richard Rost:

I'm sorry, but I'm not following you (I'm slow like that sometimes). Can you rephrase the question?
