chaning the value of a field from an unrelated form

[boblarson]

Did you pull the Services subform off of the main form? You need to do that and then add it to the Contracts subform as some of the problems are related to the 2nd subform that is supposed to be linked to the 1st subform, but is on the main form.

wow boblarson ur a lifesaver...i got it working just fine. one error did come up tho; with all the new code and changes implemented, when I go from my main form to my 'Contracts' subform to enter data, i get an error message saying that the macro 'Me.' does not exist. ??? pretty puzzling

nm...figured it out. i had some what seems to be arbitrary line in my main forms afterupdate event. it seems to work fine now though. you've been a HUGE help boblarson, i can't thank you enough.

i actually didn't do this and my database seems to be running fine. do i really need this? i'm afraid with tampering with the structure of the database as im nervous about opening up another can of headaches....

Hey, if you got it to work - More power to you. That's GREAT! Believe it, or not, I can be wrong from time to time.
