[AccessD] Iterating Controls

> But I'm not sure what.
Arthur,

You open a form but don't assign an object variable referring to this open form instance - something like that should work:

dim efrm as AccessObject
dim frm as Access.Form
...

for each efrm in CurrentProject.AllForms
...
      DoCmd.OpenForm efrm.name, acDesign
      set frm=Forms(efrm.name)

...     
next efrm

HTH,
Shamil

  Swing and a miss! I thought you had a home run there but no. Here's the whole sub, and all it prints is the names of the forms. Here's the entire sub:

  <code>

  Public Sub ListRowSources()

      On Error Resume Next

      Dim frm As Object, db As CurrentProject, ctl As Control

      Dim strOutFile As String

      strOutFile = "RowSources.txt"        '"c:\testfile.txt"

      Set db = CurrentProject

      Dim fs As Object, a As Object

      Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

      Set a = fs.CreateTextFile(strOutFile, True)



      Set db = CurrentProject



      Application.Echo False

      

      Debug.Print "Analyzing Row Sources"



      'Walk through forms

      For Each frm In db.AllForms

          DoCmd.OpenForm frm.name, acDesign

          a.writeline "Form: " & frm.name

          'Walk through controls

          For Each ctl In frm.Controls

              With ctl

                  Debug.Print ctl.Properties("Name")

                  Select Case .ControlType

                      Case acComboBox

                          Debug.Print ctl.name & ": Combo Box"

                          Debug.Print ctl.RowSource

                          a.writeline "Control: " & ctl.name

                          a.writeline "RowSource"

                          a.writeline ctl.RowSource

                          

                      Case acListBox

                    Debug.Print ctl.name & ": List Box"

                          Debug.Print ctl.RowSource

                          a.writeline "Control: " & ctl.name

                          a.writeline "RowSource"

                          a.writeline ctl.RowSource

                  Case Else

                    'do nothing

                  End Select

              End With

          Next ctl

          DoCmd.Close acForm, frm.name

      Next frm



      Application.Echo True

      

      Set frm = Nothing

      Set db = Nothing

      Set fs = Nothing

      Set a = Nothing



   End Sub

  </code?



  All it does is print the form names. Not a single mention of any control on any form. Clearly it's more wrong than On Error. But I'm not sure what.

  Hi Arthur,



  You're looking too far to see it up close :)

  On Error Resume Next
