Referencing Combo Box in a Tab Control within a Navigation Subform

[altemir]

How would I reference a combo box within a Tab Control that in turn is within a Navigation Subform? I'm looking for something like:

Forms!frmMain!NavigationSubform!TabControlName!Com boBoxName

you shouldn't need the tab control name, just the name of the form, subform and the combo box within the subform.

The syntax is:

Forms!formname!subformname.Form.controlname

I don't like the Navigation form. Think its only justification is for web database.

Thanks, rpeare. I thought the tab control acted as a sort of container, but I guess it doesn't as you point out. This is what ended up working for me:

Forms!frmMain!NavigationSubform.Form!ctrInspection Lines.Form!cboPartNumber
