Lost Focus.. basic confusion - Visual Basic 4 / 5 / 6

Basically im an amature at this stuff as ive just started, and teacher thinks we are all young Bill Gates.

I have a main form of Examiner Details and a subform with other details. I want 1 thing in the subform to be the same as in the main form, if not displaying a message. So im not sure how to set this out... I gave this a go

Private Sub ScriptID_LostFocus()

'ScriptID must equal SubRefcode2'
If ([ScriptID] <> [SubRefCode2]) Then
MsgBox "Script ID wrong"

End If
End Sub

---------------
But nothing happens.... do i need to state the location of the fields, if so could you please post how i will succeed in doing this..
Thankyou

If SubRefcode2 is not on the same form as ScriptID then you will need to reference the form it is on. How are you storing the values on your subform? Are you using a listbox or an array?

How are you calling this sub ScriptID_LostFocus(). Is it called on some event or just when the subform loads up??

thanks
