Filter SubForm

[zivon]

I have two forms:
clients
orders

when they both open, when I change clients it automaticly filter the orders for that client.

now I created a form which includes 2 sub forms inside it... (clients and orders)

and it doesn't filter since there is no such form open...
Forms![orders].Filter = "[CustomerID] = " & Me.[CustomerID]


how do I filter a sub form ?

Hi, zivon.

Subform form object could be referenced in the following way.

Forms![MainForm]![orders].Filter = "[CustomerID] = " & Me.[CustomerID]

Hi Zivon

The subform does not have to be open when you want to filter it.
See an example how you can reference the subform from main form:

Me![SubForm].Form.Filter  = "[CustomerID] = " & Me.[CustomerID]
 

If you are note in these forms:

Forms![MainForm]![SubForm].Form.Filter  = "[CustomerID] = " & Me.[CustomerID]
