Need to disable/enable a control on another form based on the caption of the first form

Zones: Microsoft Access Database, Microsoft Development, Microsoft Programming

Tags: VBA

I have a main form that allows users to engage in a time study process. Once the time study is over, I want the Adminstration to be able to disable the two time study commands on the Main Menu. The disable process is a command on an Administration form. HOwever, the process keeps stopping at the FORMS!frmMainMenu.cmdTimeTracking.Enabled = False (or True depending on what the caption is).
with Run-Time error 438 Object doesn't support this property or method.

         
           
           
             Private Sub cmdTimeStudyControls_Click()
'Controls Time Study access, that is, if another time study is wanted
'can enable the buttons for the forms/reports
    If Me.cmdTimeStudyControls.Caption = "Enable Time Study" Then
        Me.cmdTimeStudyControls.Caption = "Disable Time Study"
        DoCmd.OpenForm "frmMainMenu", acNormal
        Forms!frmMainMenu.cmdTimeTracking.Enable = True
        Forms!frmMainMenu.cmdTimeTrackingReport.Enable = True
        DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmMainMenu"
    ElseIf Me.cmdTimeStudyControls.Caption = "Disable Time Study" Then
        Me.cmdTimeStudyControls.Caption = "Enable Time Study"
        DoCmd.OpenForm "frmMainMenu", acNormal
        Forms!frmMainMenu.cmdTimeTracking.Enable = False
        Forms!frmMainMenu.cmdTimeTrackingReport.Enable = False
        DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmMainMenu"
    End If
End Sub
