Subform controls: ARGH!
Why can't I ever remember the code?
I have a search facility with two unbound boxes on a form. One of the boxes I want to search is in a subform. This is what I have: [forms]![Queries Form]![AddressDet].[form]![address1] Is this correct? I know I have to distinguish between the name of the form and the "box" in which it sits in the main form.

Subform controls: ARGH!
I thought it was correct
I don't know whether you gathered the code is in VBA. This is the code in its entirety as I have it now: Dim rstClone As Object Set rstClone = Me.RecordsetClone rstClone.FindFirst "[CustomerName] = '" & Me.Customer & "' And [forms]![queries form]![Branch form].[form]![address1] = '" & Me.address & "'" Me.Bookmark = rstClone.Bookmark Set rstClone = Nothing End Sub Get the following message: "The microsoft jet database engine does not recognise ....[ ]....as a valid field name or expression". ????

Subform controls: ARGH!
I assume there is a reason for the double quotes and ampersands around the
reference? Is it because the reference is in a subform? [Forms]![Queries form]![branch form].Form![Address1] I still have the above and the message is now: "Can't find the field 'branch form' referred to in your expression".

The reason for the quotes and ampersands is that the reference to the
control has to be outside of the quotes so that you get its value. The FindFirst method is unable to resolve the field reference on its own. For the error you're getting, make sure that the name of the control on Queries form that holds the subform is named branch form. Depending on how you added branch form as a subform to Queries form, the name of the control may not be the same as the name of the form being used as a subform: it's the name of the control you want in that statement. -- Doug Steele, Microsoft Access MVP http://I.Am/DougSteele (no private e-mails, please) "scubadiver" wrote in message ...

The reference seems to work now because I also have the following error: "The microsoft jet database engine does not recognise 'Add1e' as a valid field name or expression". add1e is a dummy address record in [address1] "Douglas J.

If I open the form and do a search I get a "missing operator" error so I
think these two errors are related? "scubadiver" wrote: I am almost there!

... The reference seems to work now because I also have the following error: "The microsoft jet database engine does not recognise 'Add1e' as a valid field name or expression". add1e is a dummy address record in [address1] When you get an error that indicates data is being treated as a field name then that means you are missing text delimiters. For example, consider the following two filter phrases... SomeField = BlahBlahBlah SomeField = 'BlahBlahBlah' The first will be interpreted as "filter on records where the field SomeField is equal to the field BlahBlahBlah". The second will be interpreted as "filter on records where the field SomeField contains the string 'BlahBlahBlah'". Your error suggests that within your filter string Add1e does not have quotes around it when it should have. -- Rick Brandt, Microsoft Access MVP Email (as appropriate) to...
