Finding The Subform????

[shuff]

Here's a real stumper... I have a form with a subform based on the account number in the main form. This form has been running without a hitch for maybe two years! Now, while updating an unrelated form in the same database, I test the new additions. I get an error message that the main form cannot find the subform, and it goes on to display a blank white box instead! Here's what I have already tried:

1. Checked the name of the subform. It's correct, just like it's been for 2 years.
2. Running compact/repair in case of corruption
3. Deleting, then re-placing the subform on the Main Form.

One other wierdism - after getting the white box where the subform belongs, and after being told that the [subform name] can't be found, I can right-click on the white box, select the "Form" option, and the subform appears! To me, that means that the "can't find" error message is a misnomer, but I'm at a loss as to where to look from here.

I guess what I'm asking is if anyone has seen this behavior of a form "not finding" its subform, yet it can be forced to display it with a popup menu? Also, any experiences with this or any related information would be appreciated.

Thanks-
Scott

Your have a bad reference of the subform. Sometimes they're hard to find.

It may be possible the autocorrect corrupted it.

Check if this fits your scenario.

No, not finding a subform is a bad reference.
