Referencing a control on a subform

[KimC]

I have a main form (frm1) with a subform control (sub1) and I want to attach
code to the GotFocus event of a control (ctl1) on the subform and store its
contents. I have looked at previous posts on this topic and the answer seems
to be:

[Forms]![frm1]![sub1name].Form![ctl1name].Value

However I get the error "object or class does not support the set of events"
Please help, I have been struggling with this for days!

As you are on the subform, you only need ctl1name.Value.

I must have mis-diagnosed my problem. I get the error message with no code
in the event at all. The subform is on a tab control--does that make a
difference in how events are triggered?

No. Have you copied your subform onto the tab control and set the events
manually?

hi Kim,

yes

Maybe your .mdb is a little bit corrupted. Run repair and compact or
import everything into a new .mdb.

That was, indeed, the problem. Thanks so much!
