[AccessD] Procedure on subform erroring out

Thanks for this. As soon as I read it, I thought, "Doh! That is it. I can't believe I missed that." But, it actually did not fix the problem. It did change it...w/I add the parent form:
 
"[Forms]![frmDataEntry]![frmCert_sub]![CredHours]"
 
It give me a similar error...actually I get the same error, but then, if I try to back out of the form, I also get, "...can't find 'frmDataEntry'"
 
In the mean time, I found an easy fix. Like I said, I inherited this program, and w/I asked where these "FTE numbers" came from, they said, "That is just what they are." OK, so they were arbitrary, I figured. I've since discovered that they are simply [CreditHrs]/30...I can't believe I went through all this work, w/it is a simple calculation. They didn't know this themselves though...w/I told them, I had to first prove it, and then they were floored..."We were always told they were [arbitrary]"
 
I wish I had time to figure out this problem though, because I just hate leaving it, but I can repair it in 5 min., using the simple calculation.
 
Thanks anyhow

John,

I expect this will be related to something you have in the qryGrabFTE query, 
either as a calculated field expression, or in a Criteria.  If there is 
somethig in there like:
[Forms]![frmCert_sub]![SomeControl]
... then this won't work, as frmCert_sub is not open at the time, but rather 
just contained and displayed within the subform on the parent form.
Thus you will need to change it to the equivalent of:
[Forms]![NameOfParentForm]![frmCert_sub]![SomeControl]
... or, as some would have it:
[Forms]![NameOfParentForm]![frmCert_sub].[Form]![SomeControl]

Regards
Steve
