Access Parent Subform's Record Source (1 Viewer)

[Djblois]

I am in subform A and I am trying to change the record source in subform B (they both have the same parent form) but I keep receiving this error:


Run-time error '2455'
You entered an expression that has an invalid reference to the property form/Report


These are the two ways I tried it and receiving the error in both cases:

Forms!frmDailyCheckReport.subfrmDailyCheckReportStops.Form.RecordSource = "qryDailyCheckReportStops"


Me.Parent.subfrmDailyCheckReportStopsPostponed.Form.RecordSource = "qryDailyCheckReportStops"

Either should work if this is a normal form/subform and not a Navigation Form.

I always name subform container different from object it holds, like ctrDetails.

Both look OK BUT you have used two different names for the subform control.
Which is the correct name for the subform control on the main form?

The best reference for this type of code is http://access.mvps.org/Access/forms/frm0031.htm

They are actually 2 different subforms that I need to change and I am trying both

 

[isladogs]

Then it sounds like both subform control names may be incorrect. Unless as June suggest you have a navigation form

Like Isladogs said the name of the subform controls are probably not the same as the source object subforms, thus the error. Click on the outside of the subform control to get its real name.

By default the subform control gets the same name as the source object (another dumb Access convention), but not always the case depending on how you add the subform control. Often it will be something like Child1, Child 2...
