changing bookmark in subform from another subform

I have a form that contains two subforms. I'm trying to
synchronize the two subforms so that when a different
record is selected in one, that same record is selected
in the other. I've tried putting the following code in
the first subform, but I keep getting an error:

Private Sub Form_Current()

Forms.frmUpdateProject.EditUpdateProject.Form.Bookmark =
Me.Bookmark

End Sub

The name of my main form is frmUpdateProject and the
control that contains the 2nd subform is
EditUpdateProject. The error I get is Runtime 2455: You
entered an expression that has an invalid reference to
the property Form/Report.

Thanks for any advice you can give me!
 
Hi,

Here's a related article but it applies to Form and subForm NOT subForm and
subForm
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;210060

What I would recommend you try the following instead:

- Base SubForm2 on a query (use the builder for the RecordSource) that
has for it's criteria

Forms![main form]![subForm1].Form![ID]

- And for the OnCurrent Event of subForm1 have the following

Forms![main form]![subForm2 control].requery


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

Thanks for the input. I'm still having a problem,
though. In my SubForm2 query builder I'm entering

Forms![MainForm]![SubForm1].Form![ProjectID]

but it saves as

[Forms]![MainForm]![SubForm1].[Form]![ProjectID]

and then Access interprets it as a parameter and requests
input on the requery. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!
 
Hi Renee,

Is the name of the subForm Control really [SubForm1]?

I'm talking about the name of the subForm itself, just the subForm control
as it exists in the main form.

Is there a textbox control in the subForm named [ProjectID]?

The reason you get a parameter prompt is because Microsoft Access can't
find such an object, whether it's the subform control, the textbox control,
or the main Form itself.

Check the names
