Hey all.

I wish to set a combobox's setLocked property to false.

It is in a sub form and wish to do this from a command button in the subforms parent form. I have looked about and can find ways to reference the forms properties, like size, visible etc, but not its controls.

Thanks much.

You must reference the control via the Subform Control that displays the subform on the Main form ...

Here is an example ...

CODE

Me![SubformControlName].Form![YourComboName].Locked = True

Makes sense to me now.
