Open a second copy of a form that hs subforms

[TamworthBob]

I am using code from Alen j Browne to open a copy of a form (ContactDetails). The code below works fine but the subforms are not cleared and do not change when the combo box (cboStationName) is updated. Any Ideas?
The code to open the new copy is:
Private Sub Command256_Click()



'Purpose: Open an independent instance of form frmClient.
Dim frm As Form

'Open a new instance, show it, and set a caption.
Set frm = New Form_ContactDetails
frm.Visible = True
frm.Caption = frm.hwnd & ", ContactDetails Copy " & Now()

'Append it to our collection.
clnClient.Add Item:=frm, Key:=CStr(frm.hwnd)
Set frm = Nothing

End Sub
Thanks in advance, Bob

Possibly something to do with tgg he d Ed code behind your combo?

Set frm = New Form_ContactDetails
frm.Visible = True
frm.Caption = frm.hwnd & ", ContactDetails Copy " & Now()

Is the combobox bound to anything?
Perhaps try something like
frm.control("ComboBox").text = ""

and for the subform perhaps it is using the same subform as the main since you only copied the main for it probably only created a new container control that references the same one.

Private Sub Command256_Click()

'Purpose: Open an independent instance of form frmClient.
Dim frm As Form, subfrm As Form

Set subfrm = New Form_SubformName

'Open a new instance, show it, and set a caption.
Set frm = New Form_ContactDetails
frm.Visible = True
frm.Caption = frm.hwnd & ", ContactDetails Copy " & Now()
frm.control("ComboBox").text = ""
frm.control("SubformContainerName").SourceObject = subfrm

'Append it to our collection.
clnClient.Add Item:=frm, Key:=CStr(frm.hwnd)
Set frm = Nothing

End Sub

Alternatively if you don't want to create a new subform you could write a loop to cycle through the subform controls and clear them all after the new form has been appended (or before).
Hope that is the right fix for you!
