Got it! :)
The exact syntax is
<For setting the form>
Dim frmTarget as Form
Set frmTarget = [Forms]![MyMainForm].[MySubForm].[Form]
<for using referencing variable controls on the form via code>
frmTarget("txt" & i & "_1_P" & n).ControlSource = "=" & dblValue
(where i and n are variables set in the code).
Got stuck as this is all down without the . between the form and control - (go figure). Big thanks to Dev Ashish

great stuff. This is really starting to work nicely now :)
Thanks Drew.
Cheers
Darryl.

Well the only thing I see wrong with the second part is you show two
different variables, one is getting the value you are making and one is
setting, but not that these two are the same.

OIC.... easy isn't it :)
thanks Drew. Will keep working on the second part. I thought it would
be simple as I do this sort of thing a lot in Excel VBA - very handy.
cheers
Darryl.

Ummm, to the first part, you have it backwards....
Set MyVariable = MyExistingObject

Subject: [AccessD] Using SET and Variable control names
Hi folks,
Friday and brain is fading... urrrgh
I have a line of code like this
[Forms]![ITFCT_frmRptPeriodSummary].[ITFCT_frmRptSubPeriodSummary_Opex].
[Form].txt4_1_P1.ControlSource = "=" & dblValue
Firstly what I want is to make this nice and compact like this:
Set
[Forms]![ITFCT_frmRptPeriodSummary2].[ITFCT_frmRptSubPeriodSummary_Opex]
.[Form] as frmTarget
which I am struggling to get to work. bah.
also the control I want to build up out of variables like this
i = 4
j = 1
k = 1
CtrlSrcName = "txt" & i & "_" & j & "_P" & k (= "txt4_1_P1")
and then use
frmTarget.CtrlSrcName.ControlSource = "=" & dblValue
That all seems nice in aircode but darned if I can get it to work.
any advice?
Cheers
Darryl.
