Default value for subform text box

[dark11984]

Hi Guys,
I have a mainform and a datahseet subform.

Mainform = FrmProj_ProjectEntry
Subform = FrmProj_ProjectEntry_Sub1

On my mainform I have a text box (FrmProj_ProjectEntry.txtDueDt) where I enter an expected date.
On my subform I also have a textbox (FrmProj_ProjectEntry_Sub1.txtDueDt) for entering an expected date.

I would like the entered date on the mainform to become the default expected date on the subform for new records only. Once records are created the expected date can then be changed for each record.

How would I achieve this on an after update event on FrmProj_ProjectEntry.txtDueDt?

Thanks

Set the DefaultValue property of the TextBox control. To reference that control from the mainform, on the subform, use syntax like . . .

dim tb as textbox
set tb = Me.SubformControlName.Form.TargetTextboxControlName
tb.defaultvalue = [I]<some value>[/I]

That error is in respect to some code somewhere.

Hi,

I think this is what you are after

in form FrmProj_ProjectEntry_Sub1 on event AfterUpdate for field txtDueDt

Private Sub txtDue_AfterUpdate()
     Me.txtDueDt.Value = Forms("Main_Form").txtDueDT.Value
End Sub
