I am modifying an existing form that has some tabbed pages(subforms) in it and I am wanting to know how to add another page. I have created another subform that I am wanting to add to this main form as another tabbed page.
View RepliesI have an existing Main form that has a sub form that the user uses to enter multiple records into a table....it works fine EXCEPT that I need to make it even easier and more intuitive and add a lot of labels. Basically the user selects items from a drop down list that adds items to a Work Order. I need to add some labels to the form to make it more descriptive for the user.
So, what I want to add multiple records using a single main form.
Is is possible to?:
1. simply turn the subform into a single main form? Can this be done by using a Command button or something similar?
2. copy all of the controls etc from the sub form into a new main form and have it all work nicely?
I have a database with a form and a sub form it works great. However I needed to add a tab or page to the sub form when I returned to the form view the sub form is there but you cant see anything. change back to design view and its there. I didn't change any properties on the sub form. and If I delete the page I added it works just like it did before I added it. also the sub form is linked to the main form master and child. would I have to link the tab also??
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a form with six tabbed pages on it. Since data entry follows in a logical order I would like to put a command button on the bottom of each page (subform) that can be used to go to the next page. What I am going to though? If i put a command button (open form) then it opens the whole form not as a subform on a tabbed page. if I try and put a command button (open page) then it will not let me enter the page number. Hope that makes sense! Any ideas
View 3 Replies View RelatedTabbed multiple-page form
I have created a tabbed multiple-page form, consisting of two pages.
On one-page forms my Access is configured in such a way that, ctrl-pgDwn gets me to the next record. I want to use this on the multi-page form as well.
But I always want a new record to start with page 1, and then click forward to page 2 if required.
At present ctrl-pgDown always takes me to page 2 of the new record if I start from page 2 of the previous record (and correspondingly from page 1 to the next page 1).
Question 1:
How can I go to page 1 of the next record regardless of where I am in the previous record? (with one key-stroke)
Question 2:
Is there a way of moving through all pages of each record with the same keystroke, thus:
Record 1: pg 1, pg 2,
Record 2: pg 1, pg 2
Thanks for your help.

On that form we have 4 tabbed pages, 3 of which get used regularly. Unfortunately though, the Notes page does not get used very often. The reason is because people say that they don't want to click on the page if there is not going to be any information there to read, and they don't want to enter information if no one is going to read it.
Therefore, I was wondering if there was a way to have the page name, "Notes", change color if notes have been typed? Or, maybe an asterisk (*) shows up next to the page name if notes have been typed.
Can I open a tabed form to a specific page?
If I'm in the form I can move focus by using
Me.[Page 12].SetFocus
but when opening using that code produces and error Page not available?
I would like to add a page to a tab form when a certain button is clicked. I don't want to use the visible/hide solution. So I already found out that this can only be done in design view. I am using the following code:
Code:
Private Sub cmd_StrategyAdd_Click()
DoCmd.OpenForm "Form1", acDesign
Me.tabMain.Pages.Add
DoCmd.OpenForm "Form1", acNormal
End Sub
I am getting the error: Run-time error 2467. The expression you entered refers to an object that is closed or doesn't exist.I am sure the name of my tab form is tabMain.
I have two tables called "tblFundingBodies" and "tblGrants". I have a form that allows me to view all the records for each of the funding bodies. By this I mean, it shows information on a funding body but to see information on the next funding body, I must click on the next record button. Just wanted to clarify that it isn't in the form of a table.
This form also has a subform in the same format that shows each of the grants that funding body has provided. When I select the next record from the main form, it will show me the grants from the company in the next record. The field that has the funding body is a text box.
I want to be able to add a seach facility to the main form that allows me to search for a funding body and get back exactly what I have described above, but just the details on that funding body/grants. In other words, I want the form view of the funding body I search for with the sub form of the grants from that funding body, not in the form of a table where you can see them all at once, I want to be able to click through each grant in the sub form.
I have a report that tracks scores for our employees. From the report, you can click a button to add a new score in a form or edit an existing score(frmscoretracker). On this form there are two subforms, in a tabbed control to track additional information about the score; what areas were marked down(Trends), and was it a failing score(AutoFail).
When this form opens I have it programmed to only show the subform if there is data in it. The goal being, if I am adding a new score and there is no existing trends or Autofails for this new record, neither subforms will show - I will add an after update even to show either trends or autofail depending on the score recorded. Also, if someone chooses to edit the score, whatever subform with data, will show as well.
When someone clicks to add a new score, opening this main form to a new record, both of the tabs show. However, if the form opens to an existing record, the appropriate tab shows. Here is the code
Code:
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
'If the subform has a record, the tab is visible, if not, the tab is not visible
If Me.frmtrends.Form.Recordset.RecordCount > 0 Or IsNull(Me.Trends) Then
Me.Trends.Visible = True
Me.TabCtl33.Visible = True
Else
Me.Trends.Visible = False
End If
[code]...
Both tabs are set as not visible in the default settings. Is there something in this code that is triggering then to be visible when there is no record in the main form?
I have a form with a tabbed area, each tab containing a subform. One of these subforms adds records to a table. Another subform shows the totals from that table.
But when I add records, the totals tab is not updated with the new quantities unless I close the form completely and go back in. I tried adding Me.Dirty = False to the subform that adds the records but that makes no difference.
It seems as though the 'totals' subform gets those values as the form is loaded and does not change, even when records are added and then that tab is selected.
How can I get the totals subform to show the updated totals?
i have a main form for customers and a subform for sites which is set to locked so its displayed as just a list. I have a button on my main form to add a new site for the current customer displayed..How can i get the Main form '1CustomerDetails' with subform '2SiteList' to automatically refresh one i've clicked the save button on another form.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have this form that contains subforms to hold different types of infomation for different clients. At the top of the form it has the case #, first name, last name, and then a tab element in which each of 6 pages (tabs) holds subforms for other information associated with the client.
I have a table that holds only client number and name.Then each of the six subforms operate off of a table, and all the tables are connected through relationships using client number, first name, and last name.
How could I make the subforms autofill their cooresponding tables using the case #, and name fields from the main form without having to repeatedly input the client #, names for each tab/subform?
I have a form that shows information on a person (think first name and last name) at the top and contains tab controls that hold subforms each containing a different set of info about that particular person. Ex: for person 1 the main form will display the persons first and last name as well as show the subject tabs. as you click on each tab you should see the information that pertains to that person. I would like to step through each ppeson one at a time using the horizontal record arrows (eventually I will change this process to using forward and back buttons) on the main form with the persons names changing as well as the information in the subforms changing to match the person on the main form. I can step through each separately (main form and each subform) but I cant get the subforms to change information when the main form changes persons. Seems simple enough but I cant get the subform to change when the main form changes. They are not connected. This is for an Access class that I am taking and we use Access 2013.
View 2 Replies View RelatedAll using 2010. I need to filter a subform from the main form.
Code:
sfrmMedCInfo.Form.Filter = "[SSNum]= '" & cboSSN & "'"

It's throwing an error: Variable not defined pointing to sfmMedCInfo. why do I need to declare the subform and how?
I am trying to create a time sheet that enables my workers to fill out separate work orders and the hours from those Work orders are auto transferred to a sub form within their daily time sheet. I have gotten all this done and I have the total hours transferring to the main form but I need to use that transferred number in a new sum on the main form. I know that this cannot be easily done just by using the expression builder.
View 10 Replies View Related I have a subform from which I want to calculate values into a text box on the main form, to keep a running total of weeks for individuals. Using the expression builder to just add the fields, I only get the total for the current sub-form record. If another record is added to the subform, the total reverts to zero, and then it takes that record's input as the total. Which makes logical sense.
I think I need to do a 'DSum' from the subform/table, but I'm not sure how to sum for just the current ID/individual. I have tried to bodge it myself with the expression builder, but it tells me that 'the function contains the wrong number of arguments'.
I have a form with a subform in it. The subform is actually going to actually have more information and is going to take up the majority of the form. The reason why it's the subform instead of the main form is because of the nature of the parent/child relationship.
Layout-wise I'd like to have the content of the main form in the top left, with the subform taking up the space from the top right down to the bottom. This ends up covering the content of the main form in the top left. I tried using the Send to Back function on the subform but it still blocks the main form.If there's no easy way then I guess I'll just have to have the entirety of the subform below the main form content.
I'm getting a #name? error in my text box in the footer (doesn't matter where this is placed on main form. I've changed this to be forms. and forms! but no difference in the outcome.I just want it to view the total figure from a purchase order subform. This is populating correctly but isn't being stored anywhere, just shows.Also, any way I could make this invisible when the form is in form mode?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a form and subform with the following names:
frmBasic
sfrmCustomers
I have a unbound txt field called txtCustName on the mainform
I want to populate this field from a field on the subform called CustName when the record is selected.
I also have an unbound combo box with the cust ids using the row source from the tables record source from the main form.
I tried the following Code:
Private Sub cboCustNum_AfterUpdate()
Me.Filter = "[Cust_ID]=" & cboCustNum
Me.FilterOn = True
Me.txtCustName = Forms.frmBasic.sfrmCustomers.Form.CustName
End Sub
This didn't work. So I put "= [Forms].[frmBasic].[sfrmCustomers].Form.[CustName]" in the control source of the text box on the main form I want populated.
The name doesn't appear in the field. I get #Name? in the field.
I would like to add a cross close command on the tab in tabbed documents mode. Is it possible to accomplish?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a Main Form which is essentially the based on my child table called tblTaskHistory. The Main Form has a subForm which is based on the parent table called tblTasks. I am using SQL queries to feed the combo box recordsource that is located on the Main Form. The After Update for the combo box populates the subForm which allows the users to look at details of a task before he/she "accepts" it. The problem is that when he/she clicks on the subForm to view the details of the task the Main Form locks up. The user, after interacting with the subForm, cannot make an edit on Main Form now. The user has to close the Main Form and then reopen it to perform the "accept" action. The form works absolutely as intended - that is if the user doesn't click on the subForm - however once he/she clicks on the subForm the Main Form locks up.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a music database. It's somewhat over the top in terms of the information stored in it, but I like it. My issue is with getting the total number of tracks, as well as the total duration, for a given album (and for each disc, but if I can solve one that should also solve the other).
I have a lot of tables and forms, but for this problem I only need to deal with two of each. They are the tables for albums, the table for tracks, and their associated forms.
In my album table I have information such as album title, artist, release date, and album length. The tracks table contains information on each song - track title, track number, parent album, and track length.
My main form is for the album itself, and contains a subform for the tracks on said album. They correspond to the relevant tables.
What I want to do is obtain the value of the album length by calculating the sum of the track lengths for that album, and the number of tracks. Easy enough - Sum(TrackLength) and Count(TrackID) respectively, both of which can be stored in the footer of the subform.
My problem is that, rather than simply copying those values into text boxes on the main form, I want to copy them into actual fields in the album table. Furthermore, I want them to update as I add or edit the track lengths in the subform.
I have an unbound subform within a main form that i add data to.
Once I click save to save all the data the subform data will save itself into tblPerson and the main form data will save itself in tblSupplier.
The tblPerson will have an autonumber for the whole record, i need this autonumber to save in tblSupplier, only this autonumber.
I have an Orders form (frm-Orders) that includes a subform (frm-Order Details Subform). The subform has line item totals.I want to be able to sum the line item totals and show the result on the main form, but I can't get it to work. Seems like it should be an easy thing to do.
Someone suggested I try this but it didn't work:
In the footer of the subform I created this expression - =SUM([Line Item Total].
Then in the main form I created a textbox with this -- =[Forms]![frm.Orders].[Form]![frm-Order Details Subform].[Form]![txtSum].
Ok, this is what I have:
I have setup my main form with 2 subforms to mimic a split form; this works fine.
To search for a record, I am using a cbo on the main form which I would like the user to select from. Once selected, then this will populate the first subform.
This is the code I have for the cbo:
Dim intAnswer As Integer
If IsNull(Me!cboCaseNoCFDWit) Then Exit Sub
With Me!sfFocus.Form.RecordsetClone
.FindFirst "Me!sfFocus.Form!CaseNumber = """ & Me!cboCaseNoCFDWit & """"
If Not .NoMatch Then
If Me.Dirty Then Me.Dirty = False
[Code] ....
I get an error at the .findfirst; states that the Microsoft Engine does not recogize Me!sfFocus.Form!CaseNumber
And the reason I am not using a regular split form is because I cannot, get the form to the size that I want. The splitform works great with the code above (a few changes to it of course), but the bottom of the splitform (datasheet) is too long and I cannot shorten it.
