How to close a form from its subform

[.Len B]

Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
If Not chkOk2Save Then
Cancel = True
MsgBox "Ok to save is not checked"
Else
MsgBox "Saving"End If

I have tried several combinations of the >>>> line.
Me.Parent.Close
DoCmd.Close
DoCmd.Close acForm, Forms("frmEnterNotes")
All fail with different errors.

What is the correct way to do this?
Or do I have to close from the parent?

Close is looking for a name, not an object.

Try:

DoCmd.Close acForm "frmEnterNotes"

or

DoCmd.Close acForm Me.Parent.Name

Intellisense told me it wanted an ObjectName. I saw only Object.
Thanks Douglas. Tried first suggestion. It worked. Stopped there.
