Refer to a subform's control's properties using a variable for the subform name.

I have about 11 subforms on tabbed pages on a single form.  I am trying to set them all with the exact same properties to eliminate the jumping--and need this type of coding for other things, too.  

I wish to have a module which will control the size properties and the location of several "special textboxes."  

I have variables for the actual subform names, strPageAfrm, strPageBfrm, etc. assigned as public constants since I will be duplicating this database many times with slightly different names.  I want to change things once instead of 12 or multiples of 12 times.  

In the On Current event I have the code <strCurrentSubform = strPageAfrm>, etc.  (without the <>)

I found posts where I can reference the subform by

forms(strCurrentSubform)            <forms(variableformysubform)>

but I need to refer to the subform by also including the name of the parent form, I suppose.  (Access tells me I have to do something different!)

Please write answers in general terms--  (like what I have above in < >).  I think everyone understands that better than trying to use my actual terms.  

Thanks!
