I'm trying to fix a problem with a MS Access database (.mdb) which I didn't create and it was working fine on another computer which broke, there is a dropdown to select from a value which should fill a table under the dropdown with the result of a query depending on the value selected, the error is a Run-time error
:
Method 'Form' of object '_SubForm' failed
So I clicked on debug, and I got a list of if
statements that check for the dropdown value:
If dropdown = 1 Then
Forms!mylist![namelist subform].Form.RecordSource = "SELECT ... ;"
Else
If dropdown = 2 Then
Forms!mylist![namelist subform].Form.RecordSource = "SELECT ... ;"
Else
The error is coming from:
Forms!mylist![namelist subform].Form
I tried to find out the type of the object:
Debug.Print TypeName(Forms!mylist![namelist subform])
it printed SubForm
and in the docs there is Form
under the SubForm
properties, so what could be causing this problem ?
Excuse me if this question is stupid or very easy, but I don't know anything about Visual Basic and everything above I learned today just to fix the problem, so sorry about that.
T think the database is created on MS Access 2003, I tried the database on Access 2003 and 2007 on XP SP3 and Windows 7 and it didn't work, but it worked on Access 2007 on XP SP3 on a computer that I don't have access to anymore.
So what could be causing this problem ? is it a coding problem or am I missing some dependencies ?
