Access Tab Control Problem

I had a form that was working fine. I was able to open a form by clicking on the ID in the subform using code "[Forms]![Sales Home]![ConvoQuery subform].[Form]![ConversationID]=[ConversationID]" and it would open the form I wanted.  I have however changed the form to put my subforms into tabs. Now "[Forms]![Sales Home]![ConvoQuery subform].[Form]![ConversationID]=[ConversationID]" will not work. what am I doing wrong? Do I need to point to the tab control or something? Any help would be appriciated

Actually, I had the same problem. Thanks to Roger Carlson at http://www.utteraccess.com/forum/reference-text-box-sub-t1768698.html
I finally fixed it!

For some reason access may have renamed your subform when you moved it onto tabs to “Child##” where ## is some random number. Double-check that’s the problem. I’ll bet it is.

You don’t have to name a tab control when referencing a field on a form. It’s still on that form, whether it’s on the tab control or not.

It’s a relatively old question but I hope it at least helps others who are searching for the answers.

    Hi there, I'm having the same problem with my database and the fix here didn't work for me. I was just wondering if it worked for you and if not what you did to fix it. Thanks!
