Updating Fields On An Access Subform

[wheatlandacctech]

Hello,



I have two date fields on a sub form. I'm trying to update the field named txtGLTransDate after I enter a value in the field txtRegTransDate. I'm getting a message that says "invalid outside procedure." How do I correct this error? Here is the code that I wrote to try an achieve what I want to do.

Private Sub txtRegTransDate_AfterUpdate()


'Updates the txtGLTransDate to value of txtRegTransDate and
txtGLTransDate.Value = txtRegTransDate.Value

End Sub

Thanks,

Joel Wiggers

Me.nameOfControl = Me.nameOfOtherControl

but if you are referencing other forms ,you may need full paths. Esp. for subforms.

forms!fForm1!txtbox = forms!fForm2!subform.form.txtBox2

Is there code outside the Private Sub/End Sub block? That's what the error is implying. Try compiling the code.
