William,
I don't think you don't need the docmd.close line.
Also, if you use me.parent you cannot be absolutely sure that it is pointing
to where you *think* it is (see JC's comment earlier). I would suggest you
use the structure when the main form is named.
Args can be *stored* and then read from the main form be subforms (or use
global vars), or use a text file or use a table (access uses tables)

Subject: Re: [AccessD] subform close ...solved
..just to finalize this thread, the following code works totally from within
the subform ...don't have to move focus or use the host ...click on the cmd
button and the first line works to cleanup the subform itself ...then the
second line removes the form from the parent subform control and replaces it
with my "big ugly blank" ...or anything you want
Private Sub cmdClose_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_cmdClose_Click
DoCmd.Close acForm, "frm_SystemColors_sub", acSaveNo
Me.Parent!Switchboard_Subform.SourceObject = "frm_Main_sub"
Exit_cmdClose_Click:
Exit Sub
Err_cmdClose_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_cmdClose_Click
End Sub
...next is figuring out how to pass openargs from subform to subform when
necessary.
...thanks to all who responded.
William
