Find and update a record using a form in ACCESS2002

This is a continuation of a previous question.
Briefly, here is the design of my database:
tblUsers
UserID
FirstName
LastName
Address
tblRequests
RequestID
UserID
RequestedDataFile
AccessStartDate
AccessEndDate
The relationship between the tables is one-to-many (a single user may have
more than one request). Both tables have associated forms which contain
pretty much the same info. The Requests form is a linked subform of the
Users form.
I am using the following code to find and update an existing record by
typing the UserID of an individual into the Users form. Here is how I want
it to work: If the UserID has never been entered, then I continue typing in
the form in order to create the record. If the UserID has been entered
before (i.e. a record already exists), then the pre-existing record is
displayed along with any info in the Requests subform. I can then update the
record by adding any new requests.
The code is not working. When I type in a UserID (existing or not), I get
the error "Method or Control not found." The debugger goes to the last
character of the line: RS.FindFirst "[" & C.ControlSource & "]=" & C
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Michelle
