Call two subforms on a Main Form with one buton
Posted on 2009-07-05
Experts I have a Main Form which has two (Unbound) Subforms [SFsubform] and [SFsubform1] which call subforms depending on which button is clicked however each button only calls one subform (i.e.) button1 on a click event calls a subform to [SFsubform] only and I am looking for a button on a click event to be able to call different subforms to both subforms [SFsubform] and [SFsubform1].
I have attached the code I use for one button 1 subform procedure can someone please show me how i convert it to one button 2 subforms please.
Thanks in advance.

Just add a similar line of code to your sub, and one more parameter for the second subform:
Sub closesf(sForm As String, sForm1 as string)
Me.sfsubform.SourceObject = sForm
Me.sfsubform1.SourceObject
End Sub
Private Sub Command104_Click()
Call closesf("CMSMainSubForm1",
End Sub
Sub closesf(sForm As String, sForm1 as string)
Me.sfsubform.SourceObject = sForm
Me.sfsubform1.SourceObject
End Sub
Private Sub Command104_Click()
Call closesf("CMSMainSubForm1",
End Sub
Hi I have tried your solution but I cannot get to work I keep getting
Compile Error:
Argument not optional
I have attached my final code. The only other thing that might be causing a problem is that I have more than one button which calls a subform to [SFsubform] and [SFsubform1] which works well when one button opens one subform but not when I try to cahnge code as suggested.
I
Many thanks again in advance for your help.

Ok, If I'm understanding this correctly, you have two subform controls on your main form - and you want to be able to set either one of them to have any form as a source object - correct?
If that is the case, you would have to change the sub and the way the sub is called in each of your click events.
The sub would have to be changed like this (I've shown you the syntax for a few here. You need to do this with all of the calls to closesf:
Sub closesf(sForm As String, sFormControl as string) '<--- Add sFormControl so that the name of the subform control can be specified
Me.controls(sFormControl).
End Sub
''******Open MainFormSubform Start Screen********
'This opens Subform [CMSMainformMain] on subform sfsubform
Private Sub Command123_Click()
Call closesf("CMSMainSubFormMai
Call closesf("CMSReportsModule"
End Sub
'''' **** Note that since you have added an argument to the sub, you need to include that argument in ALL of the calls to that sub. ****
