I have a sub-form that needs contents of its OpenArgs to be set. How do I suppress the opening of the sub-form until the main form has reached a state where the required OpenArgs can be set?

Don't set the subform container control SourceObject property in design. Load it with code behind main form.
Why is subform OpenArgs dependent on main form "is ready"?

You cannot. The subform opens and loads first, then the main form. The main form unloads first, then the subform.Originally Posted by GraeagleBill

Thanks, that will work fine.Don't set the subform container control SourceObject property in design. Load it with code behind main form.
The sub-form needs a date that the main-form determines. The sub-form isn't visible until it's called. Strictly a UI consideration.Why is subform OpenArgs dependent on main form "is ready"?

Yes, I forgot about that!The subform opens and loads first
Making sub form unique to client's "main" form
If IsNull Date "Ready to Ship" Else "Shipped"
