String to sets the name of a checkbox

[Roosters]

Very new to coding so take it easy on me.
I need to know how to check a mainform checkbox from a double click on a record in a subform.
The string below sets the name of the checkbox that needs updating but I can't get the last line of code right.

Private Sub txtShift_DblClick(Cancel As Integer)
Dim deskID As String
deskID = "DeskCheck" & txtDesk <---------name of checkbox to be checked

Forms!frmMainOffers!deskID = -1 <--------trying to update the checkbox to checked

End Sub

Me.Parent(deskID) = -1

Thanks dhookom but I don't understand, I used the Parent reference but Access is now trying to find the field Parent. As I said I am very green at this so sorry if I sound dumb
