Forms :: Fields Jumping When Have Focus
Sep 1, 2013
When the client clicks in a text-Box or Combo-box in a sub-form, the field seems to jump to the side. in this image it jumps to the left, but jumps to the right to..., it is quite irritating, especially attempting to open a combo-box list, and see the button jumping aside.We renewed the file many times, so I don't think it is corrupted, but go know..the file can be accessed via network or terminal server, the pic is from terminal, but happens via network too.

I am using code like this to give warning messages and pass on focus to boxes only when things are selected.
Private Sub TextBox2_Exit(Cancel As Integer)
If IsNull(Me.TextBox2) Then
MsgBox "TextBox2 cannot be left blank"
Cancel = True
Else
ComboBox1.SetFocus
End If
End Sub
I do this for a series of required fields in order.
However, I also want a command button that is 'Exit without Saving' that should be clickable at any time, but of course when focus is controlled in my required fields sequence, it can't be clicked. How can I separate this button?

I have a form with a subform for tracking the stocks trading. I use the subform to enter new transactions. This was working fine until I have made some modifications in the design, which started giving me the trouble. Whenever I try to input any transactions by selecting a combo box in the subform, it takes me to the first record, even before completing my entries. I tried my best to solve it. But not successful. I am attaching a sample file for reference.

I have checked the tab order and have cycle for my form set to = all records (but have also tried current record). After I update one of any of my textboxes in the details section and then click or tab into the next box, the cursor jumps back to the first record, first field.

Hi everyone,
Problem I'm running into is I need certian fields to auto-resize when they're hovered over (or have focus) so that all the information is viewable, but then resize back to normal afterwards. The forms contain a large amount of information, so the fields have to be smallish most of the time, but certain fields, such as email addresses for example, are hard to work with because you can't see most of the entry.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Almost done with this Access project, and it's just little details at this point.

Hello again,
Is there a way in determining how the users jumps from one text or combo box to another on a form?
When I press enter I want the cursor to move to a different text/combo box than the one it automatically moves to.
Is there a way of doing this?
Any help appreciated!

On a main form I have 2 sub forms. On the main form I have a command button that asks how many guests in a booking and depending on the response populates the subform with Guest Names. However it will only do this if I click on the subform and then click the command button.
I want to include some code that sits behind the command button on the main form that will duplicate the otherwise manual selecting of the sub form. And I am thinking this is a SetFocus procedure.
I have tried this code;
[Forms]![Booking].[SubForm1].SetFocus
where Booking is the name of the form. I do not know whether the Subform is #1

i have a button that allows you to "edit" the show that is selected. You can double click the show name from the list box, and it opens that show in viewing mode, but you cant edit it. You can click the edit show button in the form that you view the show with, but I want to be able to edit that show from the main form with the list box. But, the problem im having, is if someone clicks the "Edit show" button without have a show selected, they get a error.
If lstShows has focus Then
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmEventsEdit", , , "EventID = " & Me.lstShows
Else
'do nothing, since having no code here, it does nothing
End If
End Sub
That is what I want, but I cant get access to open that show up if its selected.I need to be able to tell if it has focus on it, and to open that selected show up.

I have a customer provide his or her SSN. If the SSN matches a record in a table the form opens specifically on that record (no problem). If the SSN doesn't match a record, the form adds a new record (again, no problem).
The issue I'm having is with the new record. The customer is able to scroll through other records (page up, page down), which is a no-no. I need the form to be locked on the new record. I've posted my code below.
Private Sub Command543_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Command543_Click
Dim strCriteria As String
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Set rst = Me.RecordsetClone
[Code] .....

Greeting All!
I mentioned this a while back but was never able to solve this problem.
I don't have any nails left to chew so I hope some smart person on this forum can spot the error or know how to solve it.
Here goes...
On the main form you have a building that you can click on, once you have done so it will then list all the fire fighting appliances in that building that need servicing.
The problem is that when I'm editing the records the list box jumps to the first record after saving it & you have to scroll to the last record again to continue.
It's not so bad if you only have a few records to edit but it is a pain when you have more than can fit on the form.
I hope someone can spot where I'm going wrong and help me out as I have no idea how to solve this.
Thanking you in advance.

I have a long form that has a tab control at the bottom of it. You have to scroll down to get to the tab section. After I scroll down, when I click on one of the tabs the form jumps up. It doesn't jump up to the beginning of the form but somewhere near the beginning. I've checked everything that I could think of but nothing helps this situation.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
Sue

hello,
okay, simple question. How in visual basic code do you tell the prompt to go to the next line in the same control on a form? In other words, how do you mimic the behavior of the enter key in code?

I have a form with a subform on it. The subform has subforms. I need to set the focus on a control on one of the subforms. Here is what I am using.
START OF CODE

I use Code 1 to get to the third level. Code 1 works.
Code 1

I have a continuous form with a combobox and a text box. In the after_update event of the combobox I want to setfocus on the text box - of the specific record that I'm on. I tried using Me.CurrentRecord but that returns me to a completely different record than the one I was on. How can I setfocus to the text box of the record I am on?

I have a subform that I use to scan in products using a barcode reader, when the item scans it moves to the quantity (Qty) field where I have this code:
Code:
Private Sub Qty_GotFocus()
Qty.Value = 1
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
txtOrderNo.SetFocus
End Sub
I am simply trying to set the Qty value to 1 and move onto the next record ready to scan another product in.

I have a Dynamic Search form, which I use to search for client, on the double click it takes me to the client, at which point I have the Forms Visible set to False.
When I click on a button to open that Form, the Visible turns back to True, however it shows my last search results, how do I clear it so that when I call it back up it is ready to search again, and my focus is set to the SearchFor box.

In a form, I go to a textbox with setfocus. The whole text is selected then. But how can I place the cursor after the existing text, so that I can begin writing immediately?

I have a single main form with a datasheet subform. When I scroll through the records shon in the main form, each has a different set of child records shown in the subform.
I want the focus to be on the last record of the subform each time.
On the main form, I have a button and this code
Code:
Private Sub cmdLast_Click()
Me.frmRevisionsSub.Requery
Me.frmRevisionsSub.SetFocus
Me.frmRevisionsSub.Form.txtRevTag.SetFocus
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acLast
End Sub
which works perfectly, when I click the button.
If I call this code from main form's OnCurrent, focus remains on the first line of the subform instead of going to the the last. I have an inkling that it has to do with when the requery of the subform takes place, when I scroll through the records on the main form.

I am having trouble setting the focus on my forms... I have a parent form with two labels that are coded like this.
Private Sub Advisory Messages_Click()
Me![ Advisory Messages].Visible = _
Not Me![Advisory Messages].Visible
End Sub
[code]...
I have the visible property set to no on the subform allowing the user to toggle the visibility when the label is clicked. The problem though is when I click inside the subform to use the scroll bar to view records, it transfers the focus to the subform making it almost impossible to close by clicking the label again because the label is on the parent form. I found the "me.parent.setfocus" command and a few other set focus commands but I don't know what I should be applying the command to in order to make it work.

I have a form with a subform which is sized to show several records at the same time. If Record A has the focus, and I click anywhere in Record B, then Record B gets the focus, as expected. ... Except if I click on an Image field in Record B, when the focus stays on Record A.
How I can force it to set the focus to the other record ? I don't think this can be done with Events handlers, as they need to have the focus set first.

I have a simple invoice database with a primary key in the main table (with autonumber as invoice no.) and a subform with the item details which is without a primary key with the data type as numbers. In addition, I had the tables linked as one to many relationship. What happen is that when I am entering the data, the number jumps . For eg: It was suppose to be 7123 but the next entry was 7150. Pls kindly advice.
