forms and subforms

[abenitez77]

I have a form (emailviewer) and a subform (emailviewer subform) and on my form, I have a field (txt_message). In my subform I have a field called message. I have multiple records in the subform (using continuos forms). When I click on a record, I want to populate the field (txtbox) on my form with the value of the subform field (message). How can i do this?

Put in the fields click event

me.parent.txt_Message = me.message

I get the error msg "The expression On Click you entered as the event property setting produced the following error: Method or data member not found.

This is my syntax:
Me.frm_EmailViewer.txt_message = Me.Message

 

[MajP]

Probably because that is not what I suggested. I wrote:
me.parent.txt_Message = me.message

Why not try that?

Thanks...that worked but when i tabbed all the way thru to the next record it did not update the text box. I tried putting this in the textbox (=[frm_EmailViewer subform].Form!message) and that worked whether I clicked on the record or tabbed all the way to the next record.

Thanks for your help.
