I do not understand the question so we can start with two guesses…

From the parent: -
Me.ctlSubform.Form.Section(acDetail).BackColor = IIf(Me.ctlSubform.Locked, vbRed, vbWhite)

From the Child: -
Me.Section(acDetail).BackColor = IIf(Me.Parent.ctlSubform.Locked, vbRed, vbWhite)

To remove the guessing we would have to know precisely what you are attempting.

Chris.
