Mark,
    Unload event of main form takes place BEFORE that of the subform. (Interestingly, load event of main form takes place AFTER that of the subform). As a result execution of any code in subform at this stage, that refers to the main form, would attract error.
    As a remedial action, you can put the following statement at the beginning of relevant code block in the subform:
    
    On Error Resume Next
Best wishes,
A.D.Tejpal

  Subject: [AccessD] Closing Subform
  Hello All,
  In A97 I have a form with a subform...the subform has a 'Before_Update' event.  When I close the main form I get an error that the 'Before_Update'(on subform) event is trying to do stuff and can't find the main form.
  How should I close the main form?
  Thanks,
  Mark A. Matte
