[AccessD] Search a subform from a parent form

Ah, Charlotte. My syntax guess was right. Thanks for confirming.

Interesting.... I'm not out of the words quite yet. I single-step from the
combo to the sub inside the child form, where the wiz-generated code says:

<vba>
    ? there's a parameter called intTarget...
    DoCmd.SearchForRecord , "", acFirst, "[ID] = " & intTarget
</vba>

This gives me the error message: The action or method is invalid because
the form or report isn't bound to a table or query.

But it is:
? Me.RecordSource
vCustomers ' a View
