Forms :: Creating Tabbed Form In Access 2007 - Control Alignment?
Mar 29, 2013
I'm creating a tabbed form in Access 2007, and in the first 3 tabs, when I dragged the field controls onto the form, they stretched to the width of the form and all stacked nicely underneath each other.
Now on the next tab they are coming out as much smaller. I don't want to stretch them to fit as I want them a uniform size and I just want to find how to get that setting back! I've been messing with the anchoring buttons to what seems like no avail!

I'm working with Access 2007 and am trying to make a form with multiple tabs that will update when a certain business name is selected in the combo box at the top of the form. I have tried looking up different codes to make the combo box update correctly but can't find anything. Right now I have this code in my After Update:
Private Sub cboBusinessName_AfterUpdate()
On Error GoTo myError
Dim rst As Object
Set rst = Me.RecordsetClone
rst.FindFirst "[GrowerID] = " & Me.cboBusinessName
Me.Bookmark = rst.Bookmark
leave:
If Not rst Is Nothing Then Set rst = Nothing
Exit Sub
myError:
MsgBox "Record Not Found"
Resume leave
End Sub
Here is a picture of the tabs and combo box.

I have a form with a (large) number of controls which acts as a kind of read-only dashboard of data. The data is split across a number of tables (4, for now, but may grow) I've created a query which amalgamates all of the data from the tables into a single dataset and set that as the RecordSource (Snapshot) of the form. I now want to bind each of the controls to a particular field returned by that query.
However - I have a combobox (same form) which allows users to select a date and I need the controls to update with the relevant data for that date whenever the combobox is changed. The query already returns values for each field over a range of dates so the data is available within the form's RecordSource - I just don't know how to include the date criteria, as specified by the combobox, when binding each individual control?

Is it possible to use a formula in the Caption property of a page in a tab control (i.e. to make it dynamic)
I have a number of tabs each with their own subform (with each subform driven by its own unique query)
I'd like the tab name to include the number of records returned by that query (so as records are added, the tab name is automatically updated with the new number)
So something along the lines of :
Page 1 (" & DCount("[ID]","[qryQuery1]") & ")"
Such that the page name appears as :
Page 1 (7)
I know I can code this programmatically but then that code has to be triggered by some event and I need the counts to be as real-time as feasibly possible rather than requiring the user to click on a control to trigger it. I was hoping by using a formula directly in the Caption property of the page, it would be dynamically updated every time a new record was added without the need to trigger an event first.

I am trying to limit the number of records displaying in a subform [amendedLoans] by selecting only those records that have the same ClientID as the mainform [Customers] and the same loan number as the subforms parent form [ClientAccounts loan changes].[loanno].
I have no difficulty selecting records just using the clientid but as soon as I add the reference to the subform [loanno] field I get no selection of records. I suspect there is an error in the where clause for
[Amended Loans].Loan)=[Forms]![customers]![ClientAccounts loan changes].[Form]![LoanNo]) .
I have built the clause using the expression builder and have had many attempts all ending up with the same result. I'm now at a loss as to where to go from here....

I have been using a calendar control on a subform and have now split the data into a tabbed form with 4 subforms. The calendar is now entering the date selected into the first record of each subform instead of just the one on the subform that has the focus.
Do I need to add the calendar control to each subform now or is there a way to reference the correct form in my current code?
Private Sub Calendar_Click()
' Enters the selected date into the DateCompleted field
Forms![Training]![ElectiveTrainingSub].Form.[Date].Value = Me.Calendar.Value
Forms![Training]![CorpReqSubform].Form.[Date].Value = Me.Calendar.Value
Forms![Training]![XOGReqSub].Form.[Date].Value = Me.Calendar.Value
Forms![Training]![Recommended Training].Form.[Date].Value = Me.Calendar.Value
I have tried If Me!TabCtl159 = Me.Page160 (first tab) Then
'enter date into that record
with no luck
Any ideas would be appreciated as always!
Thanks,
Toni

I have a form with a tabbed control on it. The tabbed control has 4 tabs that each have a report on them. When I select a company name on the main form, I requery these 4 reports to show data related to that company.
For some strange reason, 2 of my reports requery with no problem, and 2 of them give me a message that the report can't be found. Here is the code:
Code:
Private Sub cboCompanyName_AfterUpdate()
On Error GoTo cboCompanyName_AfterUpdate_Err
' DoCmd.SearchForRecord , "", acFirst, "[CompanyID] = " & str(Nz(Screen.ActiveControl, 0))
' After selecting a company, requery the subreports to display the appropriate data
' These 2 work
Forms!frmCompanyHistory!RptCompany_Projects_Brief.Requery
Forms!frmCompanyHistory!RptEmployeesSpecificCompany.Requery
'These 2 Fail
Forms!frmCompanyHistory!SubRptCompany_Payback.Requery
Forms!frmCompanyHistory!SubRptCompany_Revenue.Requery
'Other things I've tried
'Forms!frmCompanyHistory!TabCtl66!SubRptCompany_Payback.Requery
'Me.TabCtl66!SubRptCompany_Revenue.Requery
As a side note, if I chose the company, say "ok" to the error, and then go run the queries that these reports are based on, I get the correct records. Also, if I chose the company and run the 2 failing reports standalone, they work fine, so I know the problem isn't the reports or the queries themselves.
I have also checked and rechecked for any spelling mistakes and have found none. I should mention that the error message is "Programs cannot find the field 'SubrptCompany_Payback' referred to in your expression".

I am not sure where to post this question. I remember finding a forum just for Microsoft Access 2007 questions, but I couldn't find it again... Indifferent
Anyway, I have created a database, and have been testing it with my application. I have some data in this database. I was wondering if there was a way in Microsoft Access 2007 to create an empty copy of the database for release. In other words, I would like to create a copy of the database with all of the tables and columns, but without the data (rows) that I had entered as part of using my testing database...
Does anyone know if I can do this?
If anyone knows where this Access 2007 forum is, or resources that might answer my question, please let me know, as I would greatly appreciate that.
Thanks Again,

I am new to access. When I try to create a control with control wizard, it advises that it will embed a macro that will not run nor be editable in Access 2003 or prior...
What do I have to do to get a control placed that CAN be run by those...? I do not know how to write code, and am really just feeling my way thru this...thus far unsuccessfully, I might add. More on that in the Forms forum...
This is just one of a billion questions I am slowly exploring.
Thanks for any assistance.:o

creating a product catalog over a range of products.
I want to create a catalog where each page of the catalog contains a product, describing; Performance data, pictures of the product, technical drawings, and documents on the product e.g.
Also it should be possible to search in the performance data, so that one or more parameter from all products can be compared used for benchmarking the products to each other.
I am using the 2007 version, because it's the one that I have available at the current time. My questions are mostly related to the possibilities of creating such a product in Access 2007, or if I need to upgraded to a newer version or even use another software program?

There is a CommandButton which when clicked must refer to the Subform. How do I do this?
I tried using [Z]![X]!Y, Form_Z.Form_X.Y, [Z]![X].Y but it throws an error saying the form name has been misspelled ...

Im working in Access 2007.
So i have query based on 1 table that populates a Form. The primary key for that table is Entity ID. Therefore once the query has been run I have multiple records that i can scroll through in my form distiguished by their Entity ID.
I have a second table that has a Entity ID column, AFE Available column, and many others. The primary key for this table is called Match ID. This table contains records that have the same Entity ID.
My goal is to display on the form the Sum of the "AFE Availible" for each Entity ID. so as you scroll through the records the Entity ID is changing and you are able to see a the Specific "AFE Availible" Sum related to the current Record showing on the form.
I couldn't figure out a way to have a query based off both tables where the records are only uniquely defined by the Entity ID in Budget Info. What was happening is the query was displaying all the records that had the same Entity ID because of the AFE Spent table. That way when you scroll through the records the form shoes records with the same entity id.
Maybe im doing it all wrong and you dont need the tables attached to the same query. That would make it easier i think. So you would have two queries populating different text boxes on a form. Is that even possible?

Any help will be most appreciated!!
1) I have a Main form with a tabbed form that has two subforms attached to it. How do I move the focus from the last field on the first subform to the first field on the 2nd subform without using the tabs at the top of control.
2) Subform #2 is a dependent form of subform #1. Since I can have many products associated with the customer form, I have added an add new record command button using the wizards. The button does not take me to the first field on the 2nd subform it just sort of blinks.
Thanks in advance

I've set hyperlinks to a couple of forms using the hyperlink address in properties. All works fine, and I've done it this way because the cursor changes to pointy hand when hovering over.
However, I need to navigate to a tabbed form in a main form.
Is there a way of doing this? I've been searching all sorts, and the most probable is to concatenate the destination?
description##Page1#page2... or something like that?
Is this correct?
What ever I've tried doesn't work, this includes ...
adding the main form destination to Hyperlink Address, and tabbed form in the SubAddress (Can't find main form)
Using the hyperlink builder. (Can't find anything)
Objects in this database (Only one form).

everything has been working perfectly except for date diffs.I am simply using an unbound text box with a date diff as a calculator of sorts, which meets the form's purposes. Everything works fine when the two dates are on the SAME tab using the formula ' =DateDiff("d",[DOB],[date of treatment]) ' entered in the textbox.
The number of days between treatment and DOB pops up immediately.
However, when trying to create a second date diff between two source text boxes on SEPARATE tabs, (i.e. DOB on Tab 1, and date of treatment and the unbound date diff calc box on Tab 2) the date diff does not work unless the form is opened, and closed again. As in, the only time the number of days pops up is if the form is closed and opened again.

I have a form which consists of four (4) tabbed sheets. The first sheet is the main form and the other three sheets are the linked subforms.
Pressing the tab key on the keyboard navigates from field to field in each individual form; however, I would like that when I get to the last field of each form, pressing tab moves to the next sheet or the first field of the next subform.
The problem I am getting is that when I get to the last field of the main form and/or subforms, hitting the tab button creates a new record in the specific form, which I do not want. I want to just tab to the next subform.

I have an unbound form with 2 tabbed Controls on it.On the first Tabbed Control my command button code works but not for the 2nd tabbed control. Although the command buttons themselves work as far as going to the appropriate record.
What I mean by this is that I use code to enable/disable the command buttons depending on what record you are on.
Example: If there is only 2 record, the other command buttons will be disabled, Do I have to refer to the Tab Control ?

I have an access form with tab control pages each with embedded forms.In one page I have a list of records as a datasheet form with the record identifier field configured as a hyperlink. When I click on this it passes its value to a form field in the form in the following tab page (works without the hyperlink but its a useful way of highlighting which field to click) which is a display/edit form of the details of the individual record. The Subroutine which does this sets the focus on this field it is passing the value to on the other form and the 'On Got Focus' event in that triggers the query that fills the editor form.
When I click back on the following tab to select another record to view/edit, the identifier value of the other record is passed to the other form but the data displayed in the rest form doesn't change. I understand this is because the field with the 'On Got Focus' never lost focus and so the query function was not called. To correct this I tried adding the same function call to the 'On Change' event however this does not work (the field is a text box set to 'locked' if that is relevant).I can get the form to do a new query properly if I click on a different field in the form before going back to the list tab or (as this is removing the focus allowing the On Got Focus to work again) if I click on a button to select a different record (which just takes me back to the list form).
Is there any way I can get this to work without having to manually remove the focus from the problem field? I have tried setting its On Got Focus event to move the focus to another field after the query function call however this prevents the Setfocus line in the code in the previous form from working. Here is a snippet of my code below.This code is for the list form and passes a value to the editing form:
Private Sub SalesID_Click()
Forms!Mainform.Requery
Forms!Mainform!Sales_Admin_Form!Sales_Admin_SalesI D.Value = SalesID.Value
Forms!Mainform!Sales_Admin_Form.SetFocus
Forms!Mainform!Sales_Admin_Form!Sales_Admin_SalesI D.SetFocus
[code]....

I have a tabbed form built in Access 2007. It's a series of about 32 different questions, with some being fill-in, some drop down boxes to select from, some radio buttons to choose a rating from 1 to 5. The reason I used a tabbed form was just to keep things consolidated on one screen where no scrolling was involved. All of the entries on each of these tabs are deposited into the same single table. I have 7 tabs, and all of the fields on the 7 tabs compose a single record in the table.
I have the actual tabs hidden, and instead use a button to switch to the next tab (Continue button at the bottom) once all the fields on that tab have been completed. I have all of the necessary fields set to be required, but Access does not validate the entries until the very end of the survey when they click a 'submit' button that actually saves the responses and returns to the opening splash page to start the survey again.
What I want to happen is for the fields on the current tab to be validated before it lets the user move to the next tab with the continue button. If they click continue and have left any fields blank they should get a message that all required fields must be completed or something similar to that.
I have found a thread here entitled "Form Validation before Moving to another Tab" which sounds similar to what I'm doing, but using the button method to navigate to the next tab, there is no BeforeUpdated event to assign that code to.

is there any way you can align text and data within msgbox's, with vbtab etc.
i suppose its a matter of forcing several text strings to occupy a similar length of screen real estate.
can you achieve this in a msgbox?

I made a form for our office to search data through our MS Access database. It was a big hit, and people started using it. Then came another request to make a new form - to search through another few tables. This was a big hit too.
The same process repeated and now I am stuck with 3 different forms, each with it's separate code and selection options.
How can I combine all of them into one and have 3 different tabs for the 3 existing forms without losing all the coding and software flow that I have already created?
