A subform's form name is not a unique identifier for an open object because
the same suform may be open in multiple forms. YOu can refer to a subform
through the parent form and the name of the subform -control- that contains
the subform, though.
Forms!<parentformname>!<subformctrlname>.Form
If you tell us what you're actually trying to accomplish, we may be able to
give you more helpful information.
