Disabling a field in a subform from the main form

I have a form with a subform in it. I can disable the fields in the main form with me.fieldname.enabled = false but I also need to disable all occurences of another field in the subform which could have several occurrences. How do I do this?

Thanks.

Sue

RE: disabling a field in a subform from the main form

Hi Susan

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, but this was a slightly complex VBA question and we had to wait for one of our advanced VBA trainers to become available to answer the question.

So our trainer Peter has the following code for you.

Function DisableFieldOnSubform()
'Main Form is called Orders
'Sub Form is called - Orders subform
'and field is called unitprice.
'This form arrangement can be found in Northwind.mdb

Forms.Orders.[Orders Subform].Form.UnitPrice.Enabled = False
End Function


Hope this helps

David

VBA tip:

Stop Display Alerts In Excel

When creating or deleting a Worksheet in Excel you don't want Excel to inform you "A file already exists....." Or "Do you want to save this file...".

To stop these alerts happening use the following line of code:

Application.DisplayAlerts = False

After the Create or Delete routine use:

Application.DisplayAlerts = True
