Syntax-reference to pages

[AmyHill]

Greetings,
I'm having a problem getting the syntax correct when referring to a field on a page/tab.
The database is set up with 3 pages, there is a main page(frmMain) and two other pages with subforms(frmLetter, frmVoid) attached to the main form.


On the subform in the default value property i have the following syntax,
Forms![frmMain]![CheckNumber] but it is not working. I think it has something to do with the pages?

any suggestions?

Maybe this link will help. Tab Controls do not affect reference syntax. It is as if the Tab Control is not there.

Thanks, I refence it before posting. I'm just not doing something right.

I would put code in the Current Event of your SubForm to set the Default property of that control. I don't believe you can just reference another control in that property.

Works Great! thanks a bunch!
