Hello,

I have a form that has a subform.
Main form has Customer ID
and Sub Form has a field Ship ID

I have a command button that open another form(Orders), I
have put Customer id in the orders form = Customer id in
the Main form. Now I need to have the Ship id in the
orders form = to whatever they have in the Ship ID in the
Subform, the subform is a single form. How will i be able
to link that particular ship ID to be displayed in the
(orders form ship id)

Any ideas?

Thanks
Vina
 
Hi Vina,

You can get the value of the subform control by using the following type of
reference:

me.sfrmSub1.form.txtMyControl

This will give you the value of the control txtMyControl from the current
record of the subform.

Note that 'sfrmSub1' must be the name of the subform control on the main
form. This is not necessarily the same as the name of the form object that
is referenced in the ControlSource of the subform control. To be sure, open
the main form and click once on the subform then check the name property
under the Other tab. Whatever you find there is what belongs in place of
sfrmSub1.
 
Hi Sandra,

Can you explain it more? Where should i put this? should
i put it in the default value?

Hi Vina,

Just use it the same way you are using Customer id from the main form. I
wasn't sure what you already had going to link the forms so I wasn't sure
what to suggest. Post whatever code you already have if you need more help.
