Dim Statment question

I would like to run some code where the reference is to a sub form on another form. The path would be:

Code:

---

Forms![FrmMain]![frmSalesContactsSub].Form!

---

And I used as a Dim statement:

Code:

---

Dim sform as string

sform = "Forms![FrmMain]![frmSalesContactsSub].Form!"

---

Then when I want to reference the control on the subform I tried

Code:

---

ControlA = sform & ControlA

---

But nothing happens. If I use the full file path

Code:

---

ControlA = Forms![FrmMain]![frmSalesContactsSub].Form!ControlA

---

All is OK. But since I have about a half dozen controls to populate, the code looks cumbersome.



Is there a way to Dim the file path and then combine it with the control name?



Thanks.
