Hi bobinmil,
>> I have several calculated fields in a sub form
Did you make a test that the calculated fields in the sub form worked correctly?
>> I try to add the form and its sub form to a navigation form the calculated fields in the sub form stop working.
I made a simple demo and reproduced your issue by the steps below:
1. Create one form with two textbox and a sub form which has a textbox in;
2. Set control source of the textbox in the sub form as “=[Forms]![Form11]![t1]*[Forms]![Form11]![t2]”;
3. At this moment, the form worked ok, and then add the form to a navigation form
4. The calculated field in the sub form did not work;
In this demo, the reason the calculated field did not work is that the “=[Forms]![Form11]![t1]*[Forms]![Form11]![t2]” is wrong. In the navigation form, it could not get the sub form “Form11” and could not get the textbox “t1” and “t2”. To resolve this issue,
we could get the textbox “t1” and “t2” by getting the parent form of the sub form.
The code like below:
Private Sub Text2_Click()
'Debug.Print Me.Text2
Dim a As Integer
Dim b As Integer
a = Me.Parent.t1
b = Me.Parent.t2
Me.Text2 = a * b
End Sub
If it is different from your project, I would recommend you provide sample code to reproduce this issue and share it through the OneDrive.
