How to call a text box within tab control?

[s1police]

Dear all,

I have tried to make a tab control within a form, inside the tab control, I put a subform inside. However, how can I call the text field within tab control > subform ??

For example,

Main Form: frm_main
Tab Control: TabCtl48
tab1: Project_Details
tab2: Project_Milestones
tab3: Project_Tasks

Within tab2: Project_Milestones, I insert a subform called "subfrm_datasheet_milestone".

Inside the subfrm_datasheet_milestone, there are few fields,
- milestone_id
- project_id
- milestone_title
- start_date
- end_date
- percentage_completed

Link Child Fields = project_id
Link Master Fields = project_id

May I ask, how can I call the project_id within subfrm_datasheet_milestone? Because it always prompt me that it cannot find the object for it.

Please help!!

Regards,

Hi,

If the name of the subform (name in the main form as subform , not the name of form itself seen as sourceobject) is "subfrm_datasheet_milestone" then

me("subfrm_datasheet_milestone")("project_id")

But if the subform's own name is "subfrm_datasheet_milestone" but main form defines it as something else (like subFormA) then

me("subFormA")("project_id")

Please note that this solution is for Access's native tab control.
