Trouble referencing a subforms.afterupdate event

[bcallnan]

Hello All-
I am trying to reference a subform's afterupdate event that is 3 forms deep and am having some trouble getting it to work. The control is a combo box and i cannot seem to trigger the afterupdate event from another subform. The control is on Mainform.Subform1.Subform1.cbocontrol.afterupdate. I am able to plug in a value, but i need to have the event called in order to populate the form.

I am trying to refernce it with the following syntax:
[Forms]![frm_Main]![frm_Subform1]![frm_Subform2] _
.Form![cbo_Control].AfterUpdate

Any help would be great-
thanks in advance

- One solution...

- Hiya- I satisfied this post, but still think that there must be a better way. I was able to call the event by going to the control in the subform and updating its .gotfocus event to refernce the .afterupdate event. Seems a little forced. Any other ideas?
-thanks in Advance
