Field/tab Order On A Form With A Subform
Aug 31, 2005
Hi all, i have a form with a subform, the main form has a field named: "shiftname" and i would like it so that when the form is opened the cursor is on that field but instead the cursor is on the first field of my subform. Ive tried changing the tab order on the main form (selecting form header, then shiftname) but this doesnt seem to work :( is there a bit of code i can use to force the form to open with the cursor in the "shiftname" field instead?

I have after much stress gotten my comments history field to appear on a form.
The following code gives me what I needed
Code:
=ColumnHistory([RecordSource],"LastUpdateBy","[ID]=" & Nz([ID],0))
I have only one simple thing left, that is perplexing to say the least.
Some comment fields will be many short notes, spread over time.
My desire is to change the sort order of the results so the most recent (rather than the initial) comment is at the top.

hi,
I have a subform to track details. In the "order by" property I do put the field (which is a date field -short) as the field to sort on ascending, but it doesn't work. The subform is based on a table - so If I want to be able to add new items as well as display them, what's the best way to do this?
thanks!

Is it possible to set the Tab Order to move to a subform before all the controls in the Main form have been passed through, and then come back to the Main form where one left off?
I have a form with a client name and a chargable service, a subform with products and, on the main form again, amount tendered.
Logic dictates that one select all items for which one is paying before showing how much is paid.
Right now, I go through the client info, then chargable service, amount tendered, and then anything purchased on the subform. That's kinda bass ackwards.
I'd somehow like to insert the subform's controls into the Tab Order, after chargable service and before amount tendered.
Anyone know if I can do that, if so, how?

I have a form with a subform. I want the records on the subform to be in alphabetical order of first name. At the moment, they appear in the order the records were entered.
I have opened up the subform itself in design view and specified the record order. If I then switch to form view for this, the records correctly display in alphabetical order.
However, when this form is displayed as the subform, the ordering reverts to the original order of record entry.
How can I change this?
Thanks,
Gary

How can I get the value from a field in one table (in the sub form) to copy/insert into a field in another table (in the main form) when adding a new record?The main form and sub form are linked using parent/child linking, and the sub form is in a tab.I have table A (Visit Dates) in the main form which is used to record the date of a visit to a church. Table B (Quarters and Peals) is used to record an event that took place at that church during that visit. Note that not all visits in table A require a record to be created in table B - but half or more do.
In tables A and B I have a field called "QuarterOrPealID" and these are both primary keys, though the field in table B is set to 'no duplicates' and in table A it's set to 'duplicates allowed', as table A has its own auto number/pk. They are both linked in the relationships.
So, when I add a new record to table A using the main form, I might then need to click on the tab in the sub form to create a new record in table B, which has to be linked to the same record in table A. When the "QuarterOrPealID" auto number/pk is generated in the sub form (table B), I need that value to update to the "QuarterOrPealID" field of the main form (table A), so that when I'm viewing these records the form pulls all the information nicely together.

I have a main form and a subform.
Both forms have the field called JobID in common.
Both forms have a field called JobStatus.
Any easiest solution so that After I Update the field called JobStatus in the subform, it changes the field called JobStatus in the main form to the value which was selected from the subform?.

I have buttons that enable and disable editing/adding information on a continuous form.
When you click add the form then is set to allowadditions and shows you the * record. Is it possible to have that display at the top of the list instead of the bottom? If not, what would be the best method to move the focus to the new record when someone clicks add?

Hi,
I just made a form for order entry which has a subform with order details where each line is a product number with quantity, extended price, etc...
The problem is that when I add a product in the subform, I add it in the new record which is at the bottom of the form. I can add many product like that it works no problem , just adding them to the bottom of the list.
But, when I close the main form and reopen it, the records are now liste is the opposite direction, meaning that the last product i added is now the first row of the subform...So the subform is now populated backwards with the latest record being the first one...
What can I do for the subform to always list the products in the same order I originally input them?....
Thanks,
Hugues

I am a VBA beginner and am using Allen Browne's method for filtering a field in a subform: URL....It works well except that I cannot seem to figure out how to order the results when the subform field is filtered. I want to order the results by CompanyName.Here is the code I am using for changing the record source from the main form to the subform:
Code:
Dim sSQL As String
If Me.cboFilterFavorites = Null Or Me.cboFilterFavorites = "In Business" Or Me.cboFilterFavorites = "Out of Business" Or Me.cboFilterFavorites = "Unsure" Then
If Me.RecordSource <> "qryCompanies" Then
Me.RecordSource = "qryCompanies"
End If
[code]...
I feel as if I have tried everything. I even changed the subform record source from a table to a query (qryCompanyTypes) so that I could add the CompanyName field and sort but to no avail. I have tried adding the CompanyName field to the SQL string but keep getting errors. I have tried simply using Order By in the SQL and still get errors.

I have a subform embedded in a mainform which contains loan payment details over a number of months. The record starts with the payment period number ie 1,2,3 etc. The problem is that every now and again the subform changes the display order of the records so that I get 4,5,6,1,2,3.
When I look at the underlying table the order is OK as is the non embedded sub form. I cannot see any reason for the change and it only happens randomly (apparently).
The numbers are not autonumbering but manually input.
Hope someone can help please.

Hi,
I have created a form with 3 subforms. This form is split in to 3 parts on a 3-page tab control.
I want the user to enter data in the order below. All fields are required. My problem is that Access97 wants all fields of the main form to be completed in the order set by the table. ie. before I fill in a sub form. I have tried setting the form tab order property but it is being overridden.
First page:
a) Complete first 6 fields of main form
b) Complete subform 1
c) Complete subform 2
Second page:
d) Complete 5th field of main form
e) Complete subform 3
f) Complete 6th field of main form
Third page
g) Complete three fields of main form
Any help appreciated,
Seth

I have taken the Order Entry database sample from Microsoft and have added a "Wizard" type interface.
Question) I'm having trouble understanding how to get more than one Feature applied to a single new service.
- For example, If I add a new SERVICE to an ORDER, and I need to add all available FEATURES to that SERVICE, how do I do that? *see my attached database & relationships. The form of FEATURES is also attached. I just want to be able to check off the ones that apply.
(is this many to many? I tried a junction table but can't make it work)
I would really appreciate some advice on my Forms, and definitely advice on my Table / Relationship structure.
ps: My tblServices use to be called tblProducts. I then added the tblCategories, tblPaid, tblTeleServ, tblLongDistRate, tbl800Serv & tblFeatures.
Thanks in advance for your help,
jlig

Hi everyone. I need help on this one
I have a form with a subform. The subform is basically the sale history of the item on the main form (The main form shows a record and then the subform reports its history). This all works fantastic, except that on the subform, every time a new record is entered, it goes to the bottom of the previous one, so after a while, if I want to enter more history into the subform, I have to scroll down through all the older ones to get to the more recent ones.
How can I do it so that in the subform the most recent entry is always at the top and each time a new record is entered, the older ones move down one. This way the most recent records are always on display and older ones move down as they become less important. Likewise, the empty record used to enter data is also at the top!
Thanks!!

I have a subform in which I display a table in Datasheet View. The problem is, I cannot figure out how to place the columns in the order (i.e. from left to right) I want.
For some reason, right-clicking on a column header in Form View and selecting Freeze Fields will shift that column to the left but I can find no consistent pattern to it and no other way of shifting a column. Reordering the columns in the table itself seems to have no effect on the order they appear on the subform and moving the controls around in the subform in Design View also seems to have no effect.

I am using access 2010. I technically have an unbound form but I am changing the record source by command buttons. Switching between 3 command buttons. My problem is that I have a subform that I was linking to the form to an unbound search field. Now I want to switch the master and child links to a field on the form when I switch the record source which happen to be the same field as the unbound search field; however; it still pulls from the unbound search field rather than the field on the form. Do I need to delete the search field in order to get is to point to the appropriate field?

I am having an issue with the sort order on a subform.
Basically I have a main form with Client Details and a subform hich displays the associated test results for this client. Each client can have multiple test results which should be displayed in date order.
Initially the form was based on the table 'TestResults' and I set up the form with the Orderby property set to the field 'TestDate' and OrderByOnLoad set to True. This didn't work and the records were displayed in random order.
Next I tried setting up the form based on an SQL query with the field 'TestDate' sorted in Ascending order - same result. Tried this with OrderBy and OrderByOnLoad both set/unset as a pair and individually - always the same result.
How can I get the subform to display the test results in date order?

I'm trying to link a form to open when a field is double clicked on the main form. When the form is opened it should open to the current record that is present on the subform.
In the opening form, I tried using a parameter query as the record source that references the current ID field on the subform. I think my problem is with referencing the value in the subform from the form that I am opening. I've read the FAQ for referencing to help me and so far this is what I've got as a parameter in the query for referencing is [Forms]![frmMainEntry].[Forms]![fsubWOArchive]![TrackingID]
The subform control on the main form is fctlWOArchive
The subform itself is fsubWOArchive
How do I get the value of the TrackingID field from a subform of another form?
Thanks,
PC
