To refer to a filter on a subform you use this syntax..
Forms!mainFormName.subform
subformcontainercontrolnam
Forms!mainFormName.subform
subformcontainercontrolnam
In addition to what Peter said, if your code is on the main form itself, you can refer to it using the Me keyword.
Me.subfrmServicingWorkHours.
Ron G.
Me.subfrmServicingWorkHours.
Ron G.
Does this work?
Forms!mainFormName.subform
...If txtServicingWorkHoursStart
Finally the format you are specifying is outdated ("m-d-yy")
1. This format will produce different length dates for single/double digit Months and dates:
1/5/57
11/17/94
...as opposed to a more standard format of "mm/dd/yyyy", which will produce:
01/05/1957
11/17/1994
2. That old format also does not clearly indicate what year you are specifying.
Is a year of 25, ...1925 or 2025?

hey peter, thanks!! it works like a charm! = )
ron, thanks, i knew we could use me to refer to the calling form but your bolding of the FORM word helped me spot the correct code i should use = )
thanks jeff! i always thought i had to put things in a certain format. now i know i don't need to so long as it's a real date. and yup i will bear in mind about the date format. thanks!!
