gotorecord for a subform?

[salmonella]

What is the syntax for using gotorecord for a subform. If I use if for the
root form all is well, but for a subform the error message says that the form
is not open (I am assuming that it can't see it).
for example:
docmd.GoToRecord acDataForm,"subform",acNext

I assume that the problem is that I cannot just give the subform name, so
how do I identify it?

thanks,

Are you running the code in the context of the Main Form, e.g. the code in a
CommandButton on the Main Form?

If that is the case, try:

Me.SubformCONTROLName.SetFocus
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNext

You need to check the SubformCONTROLName in the DesignView of the Main Form
since it may be different from the name of the Form being used as the
Subform.
