Navigation Form used as SubForm

[jlgray0127]

Hey all!
Trying to figure this out, with the navigation subform in 2010.
I have a main form, with a navigation form, as a subform.



In my Navigation subform, there are 7 tabs, representing 7 subforms.
I have a check box in each of the subforms. When I click it, changing the value to true, I want it to update the date value on this form, to the date I have on the main form.

Writing the vba for it, I can not seem to reference the mainform.

Any thoughts as to why it does not see recognize the form? I am certain it has something to do with the navigation form, as it's been nothing but a pain in the neck since I put it in place.

This is the string.... SysProgramMaint is the main form

Adjusting a form or its controls' properties that reside within Navigation Control/Form is difficult if not impossible. Consider the properties of the tab/buttons for the Navigation Control. Anything beyond the properties in the property sheet are most likely out of reach.

One approach may be to use code in the Form's VBA module. I am referring to the form that is the subform within Navigation Control. If you can find an event, there, that fires with the User's actions; that may be the best solution.
