[AccessD] Refering to a control with a variable

Sorry,
 
I don't understand why it is looking in the current form?  How do I tell it the subform than?

Hi Dale

The last one would (if brushed up) try to reference a control on the calling form (Me) which is not what you want.

That worked Great - thanks!

Now----- why does the 2nd line work but not the 3rd?

intloop=8
Forms![frmDate]![frmsubMonth].Form![subForm8].visible = False
Forms![frmDate]![frmsubMonth].Form!("subFrom" & intloop & "").visible = False

Thanks Again!

Dale

Hi Dale

This should do:

    Forms![frmDate]![frmsubMonth].Form("subForm" & intLoop & "").Form![lblDate].Caption = "Access"

/gustav

Good Morning,

This is what I am trying to do:

    Forms![frmDate]![frmsubMonth].Form![subForm8].Form![lblDate].Caption = "jj"
    Dim intLoop As Integer
    intLoop = 8
    Me.Controls.Item("Forms![frmDate]![frmsubMonth].Form![subForm" & intLoop & "].Form![lblDate]").Caption = "Access"

The first line works.  Can anyone tell me why the last one does not?

Thanks in advance.

Dale

Me.Controls.Item("txtbox" & Trim(Str(IntA)))

(the "Me." is optional)
