How do I requery a subform from another subform?

[Robert]

Hello. I have a form with 2 subforms on it, subform1 and subform2. Is
there some way to requery subform2 from an after update event on one of the
fields on subform1? What would the syntax of that be?
Me.Form.Subform.subform2.requery does not seem to work.

If the main form has 2 subforms on it, and you want to requery #2 from #1,
try:
Me.Parent![subform2].Form.Requery

Note that it is possible to trigger an endless loop with this kind of thing,
e.g. if there is any dependency between the 2 subforms, if LinkMasterFields
depends on a calculated control, or if you have conditional formatting.

Thanks. When I tried that I got the error "Microsoft Access can't find the
field subform2 referred to in your expression".

In that case, the subform control may have a different name than the name of
the form that gets loaded into it.

Open the main report in design view.
Right-click the edge of the subform control, and choose Properties.
What is the Name of the control (on the Other tab)?

You need to use that name, not whatever is in the SourceObject property
(which is the name of the form to load into it.)

Bingo! When I removed the blank from the name of the subform I didn't do it
in the main form. Thanks for catching that.
