[AccessD] Forgotten syntax

Because the code module of a form is a class module you need to make that procedure (which is really a class method) public with...

Public Sub GetResults_LC1_Check
<code>
End Sub

You will then be able to call the routine from anywhere with...

Forms!YourForm.GetResults_LC1_Check

And you *might* be able to call it with Parent.GetResults_LC1_Check from within the sub form.

Subject: [AccessD] Forgotten syntax

I have a form containing a subform, from which I want to call a procedure that lives in the parent form. The syntax I am using is:
<vba>
Call Me.Parent.Form.GetResults_LC1_Check
</vba>

The procedure is also called directly on the parent form, where it works fine, but when called from the subform it errors out (Application-defined or object-defined error in procedure ...)

I recall once seeing a document describing all the various syntax references to Access objects. Anyone know where that lives?

TIA,
Arthur
