    Hi again Guys.



    I have created a navigation form to house the rest o the forms. on the Reporting form I have a subform fied as you can see in the image above called DS. What I want to do is to update the subform field with the new form relating to the button the user presses. For example if I click VAT the field should update and show the form for VAT and so on.

    I have no idea how to acomplish this using vba.

    You can set the SourceObject property of the subform control to the name of the desired form.

    If the code is in the form containing the subform control:

    Me.SubformControlName.SourceObject = "FormName"
