Call to Mainform from Subform

Question

I have an access database that has a form with a VBA populated date.

Each time the form loads the date is automatically populated into the textbox labeled "Date". On this same form I have a subform that links to a seperate table for calculation purposes.

I want the same date from that "Date" field to be saved in my subforms calculation table.

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

For your calculation you can reference the date control on the parent form like this ( not tested )

Me.Parent.lblDate

suppose you wanted to calculate 3 days ago

DateAdd("d",-3,Me.Parent.lblDate)
