Altering properties of sub-form from parent

[Corster]

I'm fairly new to Access, so please have patience...

I have an application that I've written to audit all of our computers, monitors etc. which also works-out the Intel processor details from the core speed and processor technology (eg. Pentium D).
I also have a field which calculates a "Score" based on RAM, CPU, HDD and FSBs.
I have two tables, Asset and Computers:
Asset contains the ID, department, user, category, make, model, serial, purch cost, purch date, invoice, disposal date and any additional values.
Computers contains the Name; McAfee Agent version; OS Vendor, Version, SP; CPU Type, Core Speed, No. Cores, No. Threads, FSB, Code Name; RAM, FSB; HDD; Office Version; VNC; Asset Number (ID); and Score.

To match these two tables, I have two forms, the Asset form is the parent, the Computers form is the sub-form.

What I'd like to do is somehow change the sub-form's Enabled property to False when the Asset.Type is not Notebook or Computer, but there is no Enabled property. How do I go about doing something to this effect?

I have tried to Dim the sub-form to a variable and set the form's controls' Enabled properties aswell to no avail.

I'm also trying to create a search tool - I have a button which should DoCMD.FindNext for txtSearch.Text in the field defined by what is selected in a combo box. That don't work iether.

PLEEEEASE could someone help!
Many thanks in advance!

Subforms DO have an enabled property. Are you sure you're looking at the correct properties? The property of the subform object and not the form?

Subforms DO have an enabled property.

Aaaah!
Me.[SubForm].Enabled = True/False

I thought the subform would have it's own separate class, not under the main form's class.

The subform object is a container. Since it resides on the main form, it belongs to the main form.
