ACC2000: GoToRecord Macro Does Not Work on Subform (209765)

MORE INFORMATION

The "GoToControl Action" Help topic contains a tip which reads as follows:

   Tip   You can use the GoToControl action to move to a subform, which is
   a type of control. You can then use the GoToRecord action to move to a
   particular record in the subform.
				

This is correct, but it is necessary to leave the ObjectType and ObjectName arguments for the GoToRecord action blank for this to work successfully.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

1. Open the sample database Northwind.mdb, and then create the following new macro:

      Macro Name     Condition     Action
      ---------------------------------------
      Macro1                       GoToRecord
   
      Macro1 Actions
      -----------------------------------------
      GoToRecord
         Object Type: Form
         Object Name: Quarterly Orders Subform
              Record: Next
              Offset: <blank>
   					

2. Open the Quarterly Orders form.
3. On the Tools Menu, click Macro, and then click Run Macro.
4. Click Macro1, and then click OK.
   
   Note that you receive the following error message:
   Object 'Quarterly Orders Subform' isn't open
5. Change Macro1 as follows:

      Macro Name     Condition     Action
      -----------------------------------------
      Macro1                       GoToControl
                                   GoToRecord
   
      Macro1 Actions
      -----------------------------------------
      GoToControl
         Control Name: Quarterly Orders Subform
      GoToRecord
          Object Type: <blank>
          Object Name: <blank>
               Record: Next
               Offset: <blank>
   					

Run the macro in the same way as before. Note that the macro moves the focus to the next record in the Quarterly Orders Subform.
