Trying to get form/subform combination to work

I posted a question a while ago, but never really got it resolved:
https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/26846767/Form-and-Subforms.html

I probably failed to give enough information and clarification, so I'll try again.

I am trying to find an easy way for our Accounting team to report to our Sales Manager all of the expenses we incur.  He can then assign each expense to a particular Account.  I have the first part down, where Iink, via QODBC, to Quickbooks via an Access DB, then create/append a table in another database.  I take one more minor step in a query where I reduce the specific detailed accounts to a general category.  (For example, instead of having Travel:Meals, Travel:Lodging, etc., I just map them all to "Travel")

Okay, so my goal is have two separate subforms on one page (or one if that's possible).  I want the user to be able to scroll through a datasheet view of the query, which lists all of the records, but adds the more general category instead of using the account name/number used by Finance & Accounting.  When the user selects a record, I want the other form to show in form view the same record from the original table.  He can then edit a field, adding the account number to which we'll assign this expense.

It was suggested that I used the following code in the first subform, which I assumed was the datasheet one, but I could have been wrong.
 
Private Sub Form_Current()
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset

Set rst = Me.Parent.Subform_OrigExpnes_a.Form.RecordsetClone

rst.FindFirst "txnLineID='" & Me.TxnLineID & "'"
If Not rst.NoMatch Then Me.Parent.Subform_OrigExpnes_a.Form.Bookmark = rst.Bookmark
End Sub

Open in new window


I'm getting an error: 2465 Application-defined or object-defined error

Can someone walk me through what I might be doing wrong?

Uhh, okay.  LOL.  I'll try that.  Thank you very much.  I'll let you know if/when I run into any stumbling blocks.
Unfortunately I can't be any more specific to your needs since you have not given use any detail about your database.

Let me know if an example would help.
