This is fantastic. I didn't know you can do this with the Locals window. Thank you for taking the time and effort to explain this. To have a fail-safe approach to referencing, to me, is of great value. I've downloaded your database and I'm going to see if I can learn to find my way around...

The like how elegant this method is for finding the main form. Especially if the same form is a subform on different main forms. Thank you for this! Thanks, Thomas.

I'm going to try that right now.

I am SO pleased to know about this. I like working with Tab Controls and this information is gold! So, if I am understanding you correctly, if you're on the main form and want to address the subform (on a Tab Control page) you can do: me.subfrmNotesDetails.Form.NoteText But when you...

To June7, Yes, the code is behind the Main Form.

Thank you that is really good to know. However, in my case, the Text Box is actually a subform. I thought the subform was interpreted as a control that's why I thought any control would do. The Text Box is in fact a subform. I always like to strip a problem down to its simplest form and...

I am really thankful for the incredibly quick and valuable responses I have had to my post. You pointed me in the right direction to unravel the mistake I had made. This is clearly the forum to watch and learn from. I thought it might be valuable to document the consequences of making changes...

Just in case it may be of some help: I also use popup forms primarily. I found that I'd size my form to a certain size in Design View. Then in Form View it would show wider. The problem was resolved when I set the Scroll Bars property to Neither. This is because Access seems to add space...

Many thanks for responding so quickly. I had to walk away from my desk to clear my head and now that I'm back I am NOT able to reproduce the problem I stated. My sincere apologies for this. In the many attempts I made to fix my own problem, I made a number of changes. The field in question...

I have a table with a text field (Short Text). Also, I have a form that displays the contents of that text field. On some records the text is displayed with the HTML tags: "<div>my text</div>". These HTML tags are not part of my text. Where are these tags coming from? Does anyone know? I am...
