Linking fields from a subform to a new form

[fatboy95]

I am trying to run a form with a subform. Then I want to open another form off of the subform using a specific ID and can't get it to work.

I can open the subform as a stand alone form and click the open button for the new form using this code and it works just fine and updates the field for me.

Me!StudentID = Forms![Student Form]![StudentID]

Why will this not work when it is running as a subform.

Thanks

Hey Jack hows you doing? I was able to figure out how to open up the Comments Form off of the Students subform. Only problem is I can't get the StudentID to auto update on the comment form correctly.

Thanks for the links I am going to read it now.
