Geoff, you didn't indicate where that code resides, but I'm guessing
that is in the FrmParty code module and SessionCode is a control on that
form. Assuming that to be the case, EventDate is a control on another
form. Yes, even though it is a subform of FrmParty, FrmBookings is a
different form. "Me." only points to the immediate form.
You could shorten it slightly to:
Me!FrmBookings.Form!EventDate
