"step"ing through code

I have a subform on a main form. The subform shows all
related parts to a drawing on the main form. I have a
control on the subform that sums all those parts on the
subform. I reference that control from the main form and
want a label to be visible if the quantity is 0 and not
visible if it is greater than 0. This is the code in
the "On Current" event for the main form.

Private Sub Form_Current()
If Me!sfrmXLList.Form!SumQTO 0 Then
Me.lblRFI.Visible = False
Else
Me.lblRFI.Visible = True
End If
End Sub

If I "step" through the code, the label changes visibility
as I expect. If I "run" the code, the label is always
visible.
Can someone tell me what is going on?
Thanks

Hello,

Your code looks fine. It possible that this problem is specific to that
particular form due to corruption.
Open the Orders form in the Northwind sample database and copy/paste the
following code:

If Me.[Orders Subform].Form![ExtendedPrice] 100 Then
Me![Freight label].Visible = False
Else
Me![Freight label].Visible = True
End If

If above code works then most likely there's some kind of corruption in
your forms. You can try recreating
the form (main or subform) from scratch or export them out into a new
database to see if it helps.

Ki Yi,
Thank you for looking into this for me...

I think that what you are suggesting is different from what I am trying
to do. I want to SUM all the line items on the subform which is a continuous
form, not a datasheet form.

I have tried printing the results in the following code that is located in
the On Current on the Main form:

if Me!sfrmXLList.Form!SumQTO 0 then
MsgBox "if" & Str(Me!sfrmXLList.Form!SumQTO)
Me.lblRFI.Visible = False
else
MsgBox "if" & Str(Me!sfrmXLList.Form!SumQTO)
Me.lblRFI.visible = True
endif

and the MsgBox always evaluates to "if 0" and an OK button no matter what
the sum of QTO is. Even if the Sum is equal to zero, it is still evaluated
as being greater than zero and THEN when it prints it, it shows that it is
zero. When I step through the code the code "acts" like I would expect it to.
I can send you a zipped file (27k) if you would like to see what my problem
is.
Thanks again.

Please accept my humble apology...It does work as advertised and it IS the
same as what I am trying to do. I will go back over it AGAIN and see what I
can do. Thanks for you time and please ignore my previous post. If you
don't mind, please check back and I will post on what I can get it to do.

Ki Yi,
Please accept my humble apology. I have gone back over the Northwind
database and it is in fact what I am trying to do. I have not done what you
suggested, but I am going to try it soon. Please check this thread out a
little later on and I will let you know what I find out and whether I will
need any further help. Thanks again for your time.

Ki Yi,
I keep getting a runtime error when I try to send you a reply and that is
why you have gotten two additional posts. I have looked at what you told me
to do and if you make one change to your suggestion, it is exactly what I am
trying to do and the Northwind Database is exhibiting the same behaviour as
my database is.
In the OnCurrent event on the Orders form I put the code you told me to. I
have commented out your If statement and below it is mine. Stepping through
this code, the [Freight label] will be visible and not visible as expected,
but when you "run" the code the freight label is ALWAYS visible.

I sure do hope that you can tell me why. :-)

Thanks
