Autofill TextBox in From based on a text field in a subform

[thelegazy]

Hi all,

I was hoping someone could help me with a problem I'm trying to figure out in Access.

So, I have a overall master form which inside has sub forms.
There is a subform (sfrmAgency) on the top left which is based on a query that is displaying an "Agency ID" which is based off an entered value right above it which is "Submission ID". I have the "Submission ID" in the sub form hidden, so you can only see the "Agency ID". The query is based on a table called "Submit".

The "Agency ID" that I am trying to autofill is not within a subform, but rather it is in the main form and the source of the form is from a table called "Payment". I am trying to get it so that when the "Agency ID" from sfrmAgency is populated so is the "Agency ID" in the main form.


Any help would be greatly appreciated

I have tried to add the following code to the event, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything:

Private Sub Agency_ID_Change()
Me!Agency_ID.Text = Me!sfrmAgency!AgeAgency_ID.Text
End Sub

When referencing to an object in a subform, its syntax is as follows:
Forms![MainFormName]![SubformName].Form![SubformControlName]

In your case this would look similar to this:


Private Sub Agency_ID_Change()
Me.Agency_ID = Forms![MainForm]![sfrmAgency].Form![AgeAgency_ID]
End Sub
