Loading Subforms Problem

I have a main form with two subforms. The second subform has a combo
box whose recordsource is set based on a field in the first subform.

I tried putting some code in the first subform to do this. This is the
code in the Form Current section:

strSQL = "SELECT * FROM ModuleComponents WHERE TrainingModuleTopicSK =
" & subTrainingModule.Form!TrainingModuleTopicSK & ";"


submodulecomponents.Form!cboModuleComponentTopicsS K.RowSource = strSQL

This wasn't working because the subforms load before the main form.
So I went to the main form and for each subform I removed the
Sourceobject. Then I set the sourceobjects for the subforms through
code. This is the code in Form Load:

With Me
..subTrainingModule.SourceObject = "subTrainingModule"
..subModuleComponents.SourceObject = "subModuleComponents"
End With

I don't get an error message now but the subforms come up empty. So
now I'm stuck. Does anybody have any ideas where I'm going wrong with
this?

Thanks in advance for the help.

NameOfSubformControl.SourceObject = NameOfSumForm

E.g.,

SubformIDO.SourceObject = "frmSubIDO"
SubformIDO.Form.RecordSource = "SELECT IDOID, ... FROM tblIDO;"
DoEvents

I believe that simply setting the SourceObject will cause the
recordsource to requery. In cases where the recordsource will be
changing I remove the recordsource from the subform.

When two subforms are involved I use the following:

I haven't thought much about the best way to do that.
