Saving a value from a subform to the main form 1

[ascheper]

This may be an easy problem, but I'm having some difficulty saving a total from a subform to a control source in the main form. I can reference the subform total in the main form, but I cannot save it. I tried the fix suggested on the MS Knowledge site, which is using a macro to set the value, but all I get is zeros. The reference to the subform data is [OrderSub].[Form]![TotalField] this is a datesheet used to enter order and product information for customers. I want to save the order's total in the main form. Any suggestions would be welcome, thank you.

Need to know the name of your main form and field and
subform name and field to help

It should look like this:

me.parent.recordsource= me![total]
Hope this helps

Hope this helps

The name of the parent form is OrderMaster, but that was the ticket, thank you for the help, it worked fine...
