Change source in a Subform

S

I am trying to change the Source Object for a subform, depending on the user
input in a prior form. I have a form that gets input from a user. If the
value chosen in that form is 1, another form opens (RequestForm) and I want
the Source Object for the subform to be BudgetData; if the value is 2 I want
the source object to be BudgetDataFlat. The relatively simple code I am
using is:

If Frame29 = 2 Then
DoCmd.OpenForm "RequestForm", acDesign
Forms!RequestForm.BudgetData.Source = "BudgetDataFlat"
End If

Access returns the message "Object doesn't support this property or method".

Suggestions?

Sorry for wasting anybody's time on this. Within seconds of posting I
discovered the error (needed to use SourceObject instead of Source - duh!).

You don't specify the name of the subform control on RequestForm, so here
I'll call it SubName. You'll need to replace that with your actual control
name.

Forms!RequestForm.SubName.SourceObject = "BudgetDataFlat"
