subform

[PeterM]

I have FormA. On FormA is subFormB. subFormB has 3 fields and each has
Conditional Formatting defined. The two forms are not linked in any way.
When I run subFormB independently the Conditional Formatting works great.
When I run FormA (which has subFormB as a subform) the Conditional Formatting
does not work....why?

Any help would be appreciated.

What conditions are specified in the conditional formatting? Do they
use expressions that assume FormB is a main form, not a subform? For
example, any reference to Forms!FormB will fail if FormB is only open as
a subform.
