I've created a tabbed form in a database. When I drag fields into one of the tabs, the fields are duplicating across the others. When I then try to edit/delete the fields from one tab, they are also deleted in the others.
View RepliesI created a button in a form that duplicates the record so our employees can fill in the form more quickly.
I know I am being greedy, but is there someway to change the VBC so I only duplicate certain fields in a record, not all of them?
I have attached a (.jpg) of the Duplicate record code that is automatically created by Access when you use the "Duplicate record" option when making up a button on a form. I have attached a 2nd (.jpg) which shows the (7) fields I want to duplicate, out of the (20) available fields for each record.

I'm making a database for HR. I have an entire form of all the fields from one table. But I made another table for credentials because one employee could have more than one.
Now, the form: Sample.jpg
I want to display the credentials fields on one of the tabs. I want it to look like a datasheet (datasheet view). But I don't know how to link it to the current employee ID. I've already set the relationships for the t_Employee and t_EmployeeCredential. I've already tried making a subform. But it just doesn't automatically reflect. I'm not sure if I'm making sense. I can't really explain it.
I'm trying to clean up a form a bit and have it only show certain subforms/graphs if the data exists. I already have columns in a combobox query to show an "X" for if certain data appears:
Now, I know I could build another query and have some system go through and identify these things, but the easiest thing would be to reference the "X" in the columns of the combobox. Is there an easy way to reference values in the other (non-primary) columns? Or can you think of an easy way to make these subforms only be visible when the data exists? Maybe have an on load event for the subform?
Hi
I need to be able to copy 5/6 fields from one record to the next then carrying on entering different data, ie copy date, location, time then enter name address etc.
I can copy the whole record but not just a couple of fields
Any ideas?
I am using access 2000.
Thanks
Is it possible to duplicate a record with selected fields, to be copied into a new record. ie if there are 10 fields, i only need 8 of them (no need for timestamp field etc form existing record).
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a form with mandatory fields highlighted a different colour (yellow or blue). On the form are 3 tab pages with subforms which also have these fields.
I have added a checkbox named incomplete to each tab page and to the form. My intention is to try to write some code to look at each field on the page and if the non-white (ie mandatory) fields all have a value, then the incomplete on that page is changed to no. The code then checks the incomplete value for all 3 pages - if these are all no and the form's mandatory fields are also filled in, then this also becomes no.
When creating reports, I can then find out which records have not been completed and notify the relevant staff. Also if the data is incomplete, they don't want those records appearing in reports - so I can use the incomplete value from the form.
I have a form that has two date combo boxes. I would like to have one of the combo boxes populate by itself with the same value the user enters in the other combo box. How do I do this?
View 8 Replies View RelatedIn my database scenario, a patient would see a doctor and the doctor would check off fields in a form representing different disease symptoms that the patient has to calculate a final score (for ex. if the patient has 2 symptoms, the final score would be 2).
After a few months, the patient would visit the doctor again, and the doctor will have to fill out the same form, adding any new symptoms the patient might now have. I would like to have the disease symptom fields checked off in the previous visit automatically show up in the new form, so that the doctor only has to add the new symptoms, and then recalculate the score using both the old and new data (for ex., if the patient had 2 symptoms before and 3 more symptoms now, the score would be 5).
I have a navigation form that has a tabbed form on one of its tabs. The tabbed form has a 'current client' query record source and allows one to choose from a list of current clients and when a client is selected - details relating to client are displayed on various tabs on tabbed form.
I want to duplicate tabbed form and change record source to a query selecting 'exited clients' so I can see same information but for exited clients.
I have created a new tab on navigation form for my new exited clients tabbed form and changed record source by creating a new exited client query but when I change record source on exited client tabbed form it automatically changes record source of current client tabbed form to the exited client query and visa versa.
I want to hide external data and databasetools tabs only from my access program. How i do it ?

I have a form with a duplicate record button.Sometimes when duplicating a record the duplicate is created but the form remains in edit mode (small pencil in the form margin).I also have a manual record counter on the form which does not refresh to the newest record number following the duplication? Both issues happen together and not independently.
I now have the standard MS Access record counter visible on the form to see whats happening and this always jumps correctly to a new record number when duplication is triggered, so when the problem happens the MS Access counter is showing one more than my own record counter.
If I use the standard MS Access record navigation buttons and go back and then forward by one record, the duplicated record is then corrected. The edit mode pencil is gone and both record counters read the same, which I assume has happened this has forced a save to happen
If Me.Dirty
Then Me.Dirty = False
End If
- in the current event of the form, would solve the problem, but it doesnt make any difference at all, its still no better, or no worse than before?Using CTRL + S removes the pencil, but doesn't correct my bespoke record counter?
I'm trying to make a very simple click through data entry screen in Access 2007. For each record I want to have a standard form with three buttons at the bottom. Each button opens a new form (each form has a set of tabbed pages on it as there is lots to enter).How do I make sure that each of the additional forms populate the same record as the main form.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am releatively new to using Access. I have a form created and linked to tables. I would like to know if there is a way to have the form automatically tab to the next field for me. I have several fields that have the same number of characters entered for every record. I would like it to jump to the next field once I've entered the maximum number of characters in that field. I tried setting the fields in the tables to the length I want, and it does stop me from entering any more than that in the forms, but I still need to press the tab key. Kind of annoying after a while. Anyone know how to do this? THanks.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a simple form with tabs. I want each tab to read from different tables.
I created the Form
I droped the Tab Control on it and made 2 more tabs
Now I want to add Text Boxes and populate them with values from a specific table. In the Control Property of each Text Box I set it to =[Table]![Field] and I get #Name?
I cannot seem to link the Text Box back to the specific table.
Once I do that I want to be able to Goto Next, Goto Previous etc.
CAN ANYONE HELP ME?
Thanks in advance
I have set up my main data entry form as a navigation form with 5 tabs/pages. The first three all contain fields from my main data table, the other 2 tabs/pages have fields from related tables.
Ok, so my question is: is if there is a way to go from tab/page 1 through the other 4 in succession with the main primary key (in this case an object ID number) automatically populated through. As it is now, when I start a new record for an object on tab/page 1, and then go to the next tab/page, it registers a new record has been created (at the bottom of the form it updates the total amount of records entered), but I have to manually enter in the ID field at the top the object ID number that I am entering info for. Otherwise it is still showing the details associated with the last record I was in the form updating.
Hey guys,
We are running a mdb access file that spawns different 'windows' or forms if you will. We've had a request from a staff member that they be opened in different taskbar instances in windows xp. It does in windows 2k, however.
The only way of swapping forms at the moment is to click "Window" and then the form name.
Any idea's guys?
I have a tab control form with about 5 tabs. However when I move to the tab that has a datasheet form, the page moves down. You have to scroll up to see the above tabs. Is there something I'm missing on this simple tasks? Is it better to have it as a basic form for easier interface.

Update an old database (2005 old) with new employees, jobs, etc.
Unfortunately, the old database had a lot of restrictions, was outdated in what we needed (even had the companies old name), and so forth. So, I decided to build a new one. I am at the very end of this journey and there is one thing that is keeping me from completing it:
When I put in a new employee's name, I do so in my first tab, Employee Data. The subform in this tab is "subEmployees" and it's source is a table called "Employees". My next tab is "Drug Tests" and in it is a subMaster and subChild. The subMaster is "subEmployees". A few more tabs over is "Training History", where again, there is a subMaster and subChild. Again, the subMaster is the form "subEmployees".
I would think that since all of these are the same subform or whatever, they should all update immediately when the other one's are changed. That, however, is not the case. I have to close and reopen (or enter/exit design view) to update information. Once the information is there, however, I can change it freely. I assume this is a problem with "requery" but I don't know how to fix it, as it is obviously refreshing just fine.
I do have code for requery but it came from the previous database (as my major is chemical engineering and I know very little about code) and the code only deals with the subChild of my "Drug Tests" and "Training History" tabs.
I have a database where I used a template as it's base. On the main "Welcome" screen there is a Tab Control with 4 pages in it. In the template, they added a button to 1 of the pages only. In other words, it is not visible on the other 3 pages.
My question is... how the heck did they do that??? I added a button on the same page right next to it. And no matter what I do, it shows up on ALL 4 pages!
Access 2010. I need to be able to search ALL of the NAME fields in the database.I have reviewed some of the search forms already posted but I do not understand how to apply what was done to my database.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a form with a lot of data structured in tabs. Since the tab loads all the data at once while the navigation form browses to the desired form. I have tried but the issue is the Master-Child link. The form in the navigation form is not considered as a subform, hence, no way to set a Master-Child link. The navigation form itself is the subform but even when setting up a link there it has no influence on the form displayed by the navigation form.
[URL] ....
First thing: I have a navigation form that leads through 5 subforms on my database. One is a data entry form, the rest are various informative forms with explanations, images and other text mainly. In this scenario, a user enters data on the first tab but doesn't finish it. The user clicks over to check up on some guidelines on the other tabs and then comes back to the first tab for find that all of the fields he entered reset and he lost everything.
Is there a way of preventing this from happening? Plan A would be for me to allow the user to switch around tabs without losing the data he or she entered into textboxes or dropdowns. Plan B would be for me to have a popup that appears when he tries to switch tabs that warns him of data loss and that he should save before moving tabs.
PS: One other thing: I have the standard Access wizard search button on my first tab that allows the user to search records. This works well, but I'd like for the search box to close immediately after a search turns up a matching record. This seems odd, but the users requested it because manually closing the search box after every search can add up to a lot of wasted time.
I have a form with several tabs and I don't want to give permission for some users on some tabs. How can I do it?
