I have a form with a subform. Text0 and Text2 are on the main form. PercentageTotal is on the subform. I'm trying to make an if statement where it will do one thing if the total of all 3 fields is below 101, and another if it is not. Here is my code...Please help me!

Private Sub Command2_Click()
If Me![BreakdownPercentageTotal subform].Form.PercentageTotal + Me.Text0 + Me.Text2 < 101 Then GoTo GoAhead Else GoTo TooMuch

GoAhead:
Exit Sub

TooMuch:
hmm = MsgBox(&quot;Okay.&quot;, 0, &quot;Whatever.&quot;)
Exit Sub


End Sub
 
Nevermind, figured it out. For anyone else wondering why things aren't working when refering to a field on a subform, here's the proper syntax.

Forms![main form name]![subform control name].Form![control name]
 
This syntax should also work for you:

Forms!MainFormName!SubFormName!ControlName
