I have a subform named "sbfrmParts " with a list of parts along with the
quantity and price. I have used a text box in the subform's footer and set
the control source to "=Sum([NET PRICE]*[Quantity])". I set the format to
display currency. This text box is called "SubformTot al", and is visible
property is set to "No". On the main form I have made another text box and
set its control source to "=[sbfrmParts].Form!SubformTo tal".
When I enter some parts everything works perfectly until I look at the text
box on the main form. It only displays "#Error".
What is wrong?
Any suggestions?

Tim,
The subform is based on a query, by the way. Don't know if that matters.
Shouldn't they all be based on queries...Maybe not.

The name of the control that holds the subform is also sbfrmParts.

You can take the SQL from the SQL view of the query designer and plop
that into the record source, instead of a query name. I prefer this
whenever possible as it cuts down on the number of queries that need to
be managed. Indeed, if you're distributing an application, mde or mdb,
that is not secured, users can go into the queries tab and mess up your
queries (deliberately for some usually valid purpose or accidentally
like the sort of people who can't do anything with a software except
find ways to accidentally mess things up! 8) ) so I find putting the
SQL ino the recordsource preferable, unless I manipulate the SQL of a
saved query every time a form opens.
And of course, you can also have what are called "unbound" forms, ie,
not "bound" to any SQL statement or query/table.

Without seeing your app, there's definitely something there that seems
to be playing havoc with your desired results. I'm still leaning
towards naming of controls as the bad thing.
How big is your mdb when you compact it? I could have a peek at it if
you can email it - my address is tucked away (and munged - you need to
remove "scumspamme r") in my web site below (don't mind the silliness of
the site - it's not a computer site) on the contact information link.
Let me know here or email me first as to the size of your file BEFORE
YOU SEND ANYTHING and I need ample warning - there's only a particular
time of day I can accept large (ie, greater than a few kb, yes, kb)
files at work - on home I'm on dial up that never gets faster than 26
kps. And I can't guarantee I'll find the problem - I'll only look for
the obvious areas I suspect.
Of course, you also realize, I'll probably rip into you mercilessly via
email about your structure if your other thread I've responded to is any
indication, Tee hee. 8) 8)

Go to Tool on the menu bar choose Database Utilities and then Compact and
Repair database. This will compact the database to a smaller size. Then use
a zip compression utility (ie winzip) to compress it more and send that file
off to Tim.

Create a new file and import the form, tables, and queries needed to make
this form work. Zip it and send it to me at co*****@hotmail .com and I'll
take a look at it. If the data in the table(s) is sensitive, just import the
table structure, not the data.

There is one control you've left off, what is the name of the subform
control on the main form? This control holds the subform and its name may
or
may not be the same as the subform itself. This control is where you set
the
Parent/Child Link fields.

Thanks Jeff,
Yes, 35 megs is a bit big for email! The other thing you could try to
do after doing the compact and repair Jeff describes is if the file is
still over 10megs (probably the limit I'd want to download here at
work), try deleting the tables that aren't needed to display this
particular issue and/or deleting a pile of records. Then compact &
repair once again...

I was reading in the developer's handbook that you can take a form and drag

to create the form, and for some reason it didn't like that. Everythings
good now. Thanks for everyone's help.

When you drag and drop the form onto the other form to create the subform,
the subform CONTROL on the main form gets the same name as the subform. When
you create the control by yourself, it does NOT. So the problem has probably
been the wrong name for the subform control in the code.

Subform is based on a single-table query that contains a calculated field:
Amount: Round(CCur(Nz(*,0)),2)
Continuous subform displays this field in a text box named Amount.
As user enters new rows into subform, all rows show #Error in this box.
This only happens until they close the form, or move the main form to a

Worse, it only happens on the client's machine in the MDE.
