Path to SubForm Control with Tabs on MainForm

[cPineda]

Hi.

Looking at the example for Path to SubForm Control - MainForm.NavigationSubForm>Form1.Subform1

How should this be modified given the following -
1. On MainForm, I included tabs
2. NavigationSubForm is on the 3rd tab on MainForm

I tried the following MainForm.Page3.NavigationSubForm>FormTempMinistry.DS

where <Page3> is the Name of the 3rd tab on MainForm. It didn't work. Error message states that the Path argument is not valid.

I am able to make this work on MainForm without the tabs (code: MainForm.NavigationSubForm>FormTempMinistry.DS), but if tabs are necessary to organize things, how should the code be modified?

Thank you in advance!

The tab control is weird, it is as it is not there. No difference if you did not have a tab control.
If called from the main form
me.MysubformControl.form
or external
forms("MainFormName").MysubformControl.form

The important word is "form" after the name of the subform control. That says to return the form object that is inside your subformcontrol.

MainForm.Page3.NavigationSubForm>FormTempMinistry

That does not make any sense even taking out the page name. There are tons of references on the internet for this. If called from your main form, then you can use Me instead of a reference with the name.

Me.NavigationSubForm.Form (the word Form not the name of the object in the subform control)

or if called outside the main form
Forms!MainFormName.NavigationSubForm.Form
which is the same but a different notation
Forms("MainFormName").NavigationSubForm.Form

Are you really using a "Navigation" form? These forms have interesting gotchas and I'm surprised one would work at all as a subform on another form.

I may have interpreted this wrong. I assumed this was a main form with a standard tab control with a standard subform on it called navigationsubform.

That's why I asked for clarification. There is no point in continuing if we don't know what we are working with.
