asked on

syntax to reference a combobox field on a subform

Hello:

I have a form with a tab control on it.  In the tab control I have several subforms.  On the one subform I have a combobox field.  I am trying to write some vba code that says if the combobox field is null then display a message.  I have tried this several ways but I think I am not using the correct syntax to reference the combobox field.  I have a suspicion that I don't have the right subform name.  
Here is the code I have right now:
If IsNull(Forms!FrmAudit!AuditScheduleDetail.cboAuditElement) Then
MsgBox ("You must enter something in AuditElement field")
Else
End If

Thank you in advance

Thank you.  I was using the correct subform control name (even though I changed it a hundred times) but I must have removed the .Form. at some point.

Thank you!!
Thanks again
