[AccessD] help - syntax for subform

Thanks Darren/Dan.

No luck yet....this code (Dan's version) :

    strformname = 
Forms("frmPersonDetails")("FrmSubformPeopleatWorkplace").Form.Name
    gives me error 'Can't find the field 'FrmSubformPeoplatWorkplace' 
referred to in your expression:

and this code (Darren version) gives me error:
    strformname = "Forms!FrmPersonDetails.form.FrmSubformPeopleatWorkplace"
    "Can't find the form 
'Forms!frmpersondetails.form.frmSubformPeopleatWorkplace' referred to in 
your experssion.

aaarrgghh....yes, I want to make the code more generic but once I get a 
version which works I will convert it.......
