Forms works in isolation BUT NOT as a sub form

Example: I sell car parts !  I have a combo for the make of car.   Depending on the make chosen I have a combo for the model of car.  Depending on the model chosen I have a combo for the car part etc.

See frmOrdDetTypes which has 4 drop downs which work fairly well (not perfectly).

However, if I put frmOrdDetTypes in frmCustomers and then run frmCustomers - ERRORS! when if go into the sub form frmOrdDetTypes

Why does frmOrdDetTypes work on its own but NOT as a sub form

Thanks capricorn1,
Are you saying that you can run frmCustomers and then go into subForm frmOrdDetTypes and then choose from the 4 levels of drop downs - with no errors  ??
