The question is this,
Is it possible to change the status of a text box on a mainform by a checkbox on the subform.

The Mainform is "Form25", the Subform is "Form26"
On the mainform there is a text box from the subform as follows;
Control Source =[form26].[Form]![T1] (shows a status which has data from a combobox)

The main form has a textbox "ACS" (shows the status of an invoice)

I want to update the data in the textbox "ACS" on the mainform by using a controlled checkbox on the subform

The checkbox on the subform is "ADD" and the After update event is:
If Add then

????????????

Else
End if

End Sub


Just don't know how to write the code to do this.

Many thanks,

Integ

 
I would change the name of the check box to chkAdd since "Add" might be a reserved word in this context.
Code:
If Me.chkAdd then
   Me.Parent.ACS = "...?..."
  Else 
End if

Code:
Private Sub Add_AfterUpdate()
If forms![Form25]![Form26]!Add = -1 then 'Checked
forms!Form25!ACS = "Paid"
Else 'unchecked
forms!Form25!ACS = "Pending"
End if
End Sub

As a side, I would take dhookom's advice and make the control name more unique.
 
Dhookom's solution is definately more eloquent than mine, but I'm a hack and my way helps me see exactly whats going on where when the code gets longer and longer.
