thanks for responding - I tried but it did not worked.

i have a parent form very much like the [customer orders] in Northwind
and I also have the equivalent to

[customer orders subform1] and [customer orders subform2]

I will like to jump from [customer orders subform1] to
[customer orders subform2] if one of the textboxes in [customer orders
subform1] meets a criteria

i am also working with acc2003

thanks
