Error 40036 when passing subform as a variable to procedure
Hi, I'm trying to pass a subform as a variable to a pocedure to be able to access this subform's properties (i.e refresh it later on)
If used the syntax described here but to no effect. I keep getting error 40036 "Method Item of object Forms failed" on the following line of code:
My main form is named: New_frmZamowienia_DaneRzec
The sub form is named: subform_Notes
The sub form is on a page control tab
Sub and main form are linked through a field.
I'm attaching the whole procedure.
Sub.txt

Hi, substituting
Set fForm = Forms!New_frmZamowienia_Da
with a form object I've passed the Me variable earlier on to worked.
Set fForm = fCallingForm
Thanks for that.
Is there some inherent problem with the way I was trying to assign the form variable. I mean I can still think of a situation where I would need to point directly to a subform from the forms collection.

The only tricky part to this:
Set fForm = Forms!New_frmZamowienia_Da
is that you need to refer to the sub form *control* name on the main form, not the sub forms actual name form name as it appears in the database container. They may not be one in the same.
