Lightbulb Opening one of multiple subforms based on critera of the main form

Basics: I'm running windows 7 (32-bit) with Access 2007

I currently have a Form that will open based on a user entering in a TS # (ID#) and shows various record information…your basic form.


My problem is that I need to open one of several sub forms within this form based on the state of the ID #. I already have code for opening the form based on state…

If [Forms]![Call_Form_1]![State] = "AZ" Then
DoCmd.OpenForm ("Accouting_Form")
DoCmd.GoToControl "TS #"
DoCmd.FindRecord Forms![Call_Form_1]!TS, acEntire, False, , False, acCurrent, True
On Error GoTo 0

‘Call_Form_1 is a quick form I use that shows only the TS# (ID#) and the state, so I do not have to open a larger form, and is programmed to close itself after use.
‘If you can think of a better way of writing this, I’m all for it

My actual problem comes in as I have looked online and tried:
Forms![MainFormName].[SubformName].Value

Or in my case:
Forms![Accounting_Form_AZ]![Acc_Subform]![Accounting_AZ_FC]

But have had no luck.


Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated
Thank you,

Default Could it be something little?

What TYPE of Office form...Access, Word, Infopath, etc?

In your code, is the name of the subform "Acc_Subform"?
Forms![Accounting_Form_AZ]![Acc_Subform]![Accounting_AZ_FC]
In the code you found online:
Forms![MainFormName].[SubformName].Value
There is a dot "." after the mainformName, not an exclamation point "!".
