Forms being used as subforms aren't open in the traditional sense in that
they're not added to the Forms collection (which represents all open forms
in the database).

The only way you can interact with them is via the subform control on the
parent form.

Hi Douglas
Thanks for reply.

Combo60 is on subform

On the mainform is a Tab control on which the subforms are placed, the
name
of this tab is 'Page104'.

Name of the subform seems to be consistent, in the visual Basic Window
displayed as Form_YoungPersonSubform, as is its parent Form_frmNotice.

Since found a discrepancy in the naming of the subform & rectified, Error
messages have disappeared, but Subform data still does not match Mainform
following the use of the combo to choose another record, so my
understanding
is that it is not refreshed.

Use of the Menu, Records -- Refresh has no effect either.

The:-
DoCmd.GoToRecord acDataForm, "youngpersonsubform", acGoTo, IDPerson =
Combo60
Again reports the subform is not open, when I can see it is!

Moving to another record on mainform & returning or closing & re-opening
the
mainform does then show the correct result.

I still need to get the subform to refresh or requery

Many thanks for your advice

Depending on how YoungPersonSubform was added as a subform, the name of
the
subform control on frmNotice may be something different.

Also, where is Combo60: on frmNotice, or on YoungPersonSubform?

Hi
I have a form "frmNotice"
& a subform "YoungPersonSubform"
with a combo box to update the record displayed in the subform
The two forms are linked on the field IDPerson

The challenge I have is Refreshing or Requerying the subform with the
error
2465
"can't find the field YoungPersonSubform"

the code for the combo box is:

Private Sub Combo60_AfterUpdate()
' Find the record that matches the control.
Forms!frmNotice.IDPerson = Combo60 'updating the mainform -
works

Forms!frmNotice!YoungPersonSubform.Form.Requery '2465 error cant
find
field..
Forms![YoungPersonSubform].Requery '2450 cant finnd the
form
...
Forms!frmnotice![YoungPersonSubform].Requery '2465 cant find field ...
Forms!frmnotice.form![YoungPersonSubform].Requery '2465 cant find
field
...
Forms!frmnotice.Form![YoungPersonSubform].Form.Requery '2465 " " "


I have also tried:
DoCmd.GoToRecord acDataForm, "youngpersonsubform", acGoTo, IDPerson =
Combo60
With error 2489 The object 'YoungPersonSubform' isn't open!

Office 2003 being used, I can see the subform open within a tab on the
parent form, so why am I having these problems?

I have listed just some of the variations I have tried to refresh the
subform, others have been tried with similar effect with & without
brackets
for the formname.

The subform will update if I move to another record & return to the
first!!

I have also tried the refresh line of code in the onCurrent event on
the
mainForm with no results.

Would be most grateful for some assisatance - Thanks
