Access 2003: Quest 2: Datasheets as a subform - to dynamically change data source of subf
Hi EE,
Want to learn how clicking on a column on a datasheet in the header section can
repopulate the datasheet in the detail section.
header section - datasheet - totals
detail section - datsheet - show actual rows
would like, if click on a column in totals sheet, would repopulate detail datasheet
i sort of have something working like this:
With Forms!FRM_040_Totals_MAIN.
.RecordSource = "qp_050_Discoverer_SortByL
.Requery
End With
BUT: i have queries using different tables, so if i change a recordsource to use a query
whose fields are not in the datasheet design view, i get a #NAME error.
so i guess, that i have to create another datasheet for the other query's fields
and dynamically change the FORM name in additon to the data source
i am getting errors trying this below:
i am getting an error that: sbf2_Students does not exist, yet it does.....
any help or ideas would be deeply appreciated.
the mdb is posted below....tx, sandra

Hi mbizup,
tx so much! it's working better now....
a) Is Parent a keyword?
b) going with the with syntax:
is it possible to merge your WITH code and the
WITH code that i have below( to change record source)
into one with WITH statement?
With Forms!FRM_040_Totals_MAIN
With .sbf2_Students 'not the dot before subform name
.SourceObject = "FRM_040_Totals_sub3_NRMP"
End With
End With
With Forms!FRM_040_Totals_MAIN.
.RecordSource = "qp_010d_No PGY1"
.Requery
End With

Hi -
a) Is Parent a keyword?
Yes. Since your code is running from a subform, you can use Parent to refer to the main form. So to refer to a 'sibling form' the syntax is:
Me.Parent.OtherChild

Hmm..
This didnt get posted for some reason.
You can consolidate the two blocks like this:
With Forms!FRM_040_Totals_MAIN
With .sbf2_Students 'not the dot before subform name
.SourceObject = "FRM_040_Totals_sub3_NRMP"
.Form.RecordSource = "qp_010d_No PGY1"
.Form.Requery
End With
