How do I query a subform from a cbo?

[John Havens]

Hi,

I'm using MS Access 2007.

I have a form, card_file, with an embedded subform, card_access_poi nt_file.

I would like to create a combobox on the main form to query the card_file on values in a field on the card_access_poi nt _file. Specifically, I would like the combobox to query the card_access_poi nt_file.accessp oint_entry field.

I have tried to do this as follows, where SAPE is the name of the cbo box, but I'm doing something--possibly many things--wrong.

Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated.

John

Private Sub SAPE_Button_Click()

Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String

stDocName = "card_file"
stLinkCriteria = "Forms!card_file!card_access_point_file.Form.acces spoint_entry LIKE" & "'*" & Forms!card_file!SAPE & "*'"
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria

Exit_SAPE_Button_Click:
Exit Sub

Err_SAPE_Button_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_SAPE_Button_Click

End Sub

This sounds like you could benefit from reading Example Filtering on a Form, and also, possibly, Referring to Items on a Sub-Form.
