Referring to a control on a subform in a class module

[JimP]

This seems to work, but is it correct? Main form, sub form and control are
all variables.

set ctl = Forms(MainForm).Controls(SubForm).Form.Controls(ControlName)

This seems to work, but is it correct? Main form, sub form and control are
all variables.

set ctl = Forms(MainForm).Controls(SubForm).Form.Controls(ControlName)

Yes, that is correct, even formal.

Since Controls is the default property of form objects, it
is not required so this would also be acceptable:

Set ctl = Forms(MainForm)(SubForm).Form(ControlName)

You'll have to decide if you want to use a rigorous or
relaxed coding style.

I've found this page to be very helpful re refering to forms - subforms - etc.
