Forms :: Show Tabs And Subforms In Tabs Only If Data Exists
May 6, 2013I'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?
A Solution To Manually Processing 'Entry Forms'
Mar 2, 2007Hi Guys,
I've been pondering over a problem for a couple of weeks now - We receive around 1000 paper entries to our competition, and these all need manually entered into the access database in a one-er.
Is anyone aware of any ideas of how this could be made easier, and more automated?
Thanks.
Forms :: One Table / Three Forms - Each Form With Control Tabs
Jul 4, 2013I'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.

Mar 3, 2005I 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.

Forms :: Navigation Forms - Moving Between Tabs
Aug 21, 2013I 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.
Opening Forms In Different Taskbar Tabs On XP
Dec 21, 2006Hey 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?

View 2 Replies View RelatedForms :: Getting Same Subform To Update Across Different Tabs
Jul 14, 2015Update 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.
Forms :: Buttons Showing On All Tabs?
Mar 8, 2013I 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!
Forms :: Embed Navigation Form Instead Of Using Tabs
Oct 21, 2014I 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.

Forms :: When Navigating Tabs - Preventing The Loss Of First Tab
Aug 7, 2014First 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.

Sep 22, 2014Model 2.jpg
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.

Forms :: Form With Tabs But Separate Sources
Dec 29, 2014I am creating a database in which to store my data collected in my research. I have 8 tables that are linked by a SampleID number. I have created a form which has tabs, the first tab contains the information required for entry on table 1; how I am going to add the controls from table 2 onto the second tab.
I know how to make additional tabs and I have created a separate form for table 2 with the form wizard, cut and pasted the fields into the second tab on my first form BUT how to establish the source for those controls back to the second table. To make matters worse (of course not to be too dramatic here) I can see the other table in my Field List of related tables.
Manually Changing The Order Of Records
Mar 20, 2005I have records which represent tasks and the tasks need to be scheduled. They can be ordered to some degree by sorting the table on specific fields and then by sorting parts of the table by specific fields, however, the final ordering needs to be done manually as it cannot be done by a field sort. So, how can you move records around manually? It would be like a CUT and PASTE INSERT. Thanks.... Lester

Forms :: Cannot Select Form With Button Inside Tabs
Jan 29, 2014I have a master form named frmCustomer. I then have a set of tabs (not the navigation tabs) embedded within frmCustomer. The tabs are Invoice (frmInvoice), Contacts *frmContacts), Notes (frmNotes) and Orders (frmOrders). All form are Single Form. There is another form named frmInv that displays an invoice in a formatted manner. frmINV gets its data from a q1uery called InvQ.
It has a criteria that reads [Forms}![frmInvoice]![Invoice_ID]. I placed a button on frmInvoice that calls frmInv. If I run frmInvoice separately outside the tab the correct invoice displays. If I click the buttom from within the tab I am asked to enter the vale of [Forms}![frmInvoice]![Invoice_ID]. How do I call the frmInv form from the tab?
Forms :: Tabbed Form Validation Before Switching Tabs
Mar 20, 2013I 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.
Forms :: Update Number Value From One Tabbed Subform Across 4 Tabs
Feb 10, 2014I have an on click event that checks if entered number values on my first tabbed subform are not null. I then pass the values to three other fields each on a different tabbed subform using If Then Else syntax that seems to work. When I click through the tabs after the code has finished I can see the updated values on their respective tabbed subforms. However, when I click back through the tabs or requery the record all but the first and last subform values have saved.
I have tried inserting If Me.Dirty Then Me.Dirty = False in the subform after update and on data change events as well as in the on click event. I have also tried RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord and neither seems to work.
Ex.
If IsNull(Me.AMT1_AF) Then
Else
Forms![SCH_ENTRY]![ENT1subform]![AMT1] = Me.AMT1_AF
End If
If IsNull(Me.AMT2_AF) Then
[Code]...
Forms :: Multiple Data Sources For Tabs On A Form
Jun 24, 2013Please see the screen shot attached.
I have a single form with multiple tabs. At the top of the form appears the name of an individual and below the name are multiple tabs containing information specific to that individual. Each tab has a separate underlying table, which is the data source for the information contained on that tab.
As best as I can tell, I can only use one single data source (a query at the moment) to populate all the data that appears on all the tabs. Is there a way that I can have a separate data source (namely, a table) for each tab?
Forms :: Navigation Form - Limit Access To Tabs
Feb 7, 2015I have navigation form with 2 tabs I'd like to limit access to users with certain type of account.
There are 2 tables in database that contains user names and types of accounts (tblSecurityLevel and tblUser), and they are used to set user name, login and security level.
It works this way: when you open form, it checks if PC name corresponds to name in UserLogin field (tblUser), if it does it gives appropriate access level depending on set user security, if PC name is not on the list user will be logged as guest.
So far, I used this code and it works great for limiting access to 1 tab:
Code:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim UserLogin As String
Dim userLevel As Integer
UserLogin = Environ("Username")
Me.TxtLogin = UserLogin
[Code] ....
Is there a way to expand the code and add second tab (or even third) with this table structure (I'd like to be able to keep login which 1st checks for pc name).
