Hi,

how to set value for bound text box column in VBA - access application project.

for an example - I have created 2 forms name like [mainFrm, subFrm], both forms having student details. I bound Student ID in text box. First I execute mainFrm by default first record will be shown. then selects some other record of student by navigating next/previous. and then I fire a command button event to call subFrm and here i need set id value to the subFrm which was in the mainFrm.

VB

Private Sub OpensubFrm_Button_Click()


        DoCmd.OpenForm "subFrm", acNormal, , "[Stud_ID] = " & Forms!mainFrm!Stud_ID

        Forms!subFrm!Stud_ID = Forms!mainFrm!Stud_ID

End Sub

I am getting error, "you cannot assign value to this object"

Help me!

Thanks in Advance

Do you really have subform on mainform? I see that you're trying to open existing form as a separate window. In this case you can't bind data in this way. You need to dynamically change query / source of your subfrm or to write query which refer to mainfrm, something like this one:

SQL

SELECT *
FROM SecondTable
WHERE Stud_Id = Forms!MainFrm!Stud_ID
