I have a main form that has 2 sub forms on it - one below the other.
Because I did not like this layout I created a tabbed form on the bottom of the main form (2 tabs) and would now like to move each sub form onto each of the tabbed forms.
I have a pop up form that appears (with a beep) when a condition occurs. I would like that form to appear on top of all other window applications.
Access is an active application but the pop up form is hidden if other applications are in use.
Is there a way to have the pop up window appear on top?
Any help would be appreciated.
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 have two subforms on a "Page"/Tabs. Subform #1 is a continuous form which accepts data about dimensions of a pattern piece. The other subform needs to update its information display each time the last control of the first subform loses focus, because it tells me how much material is required for all pieces of this pattern that are entered.
My first feeble attempt at this was to add the following code to the "Lost Focus" event of the final control on the first subform:
Form.Parent.Refresh
This succeeded in forcing the second subform to re-run its calculation.
However, after the recalculation took place, I wasn't able to move to the next record on the first subform. This subform is a continuous form, and I need to be able to add another row of data and then see the second subform change based on the additional information in the first subform.
Obviously I've done this wrong.
I am currently stuck on set focus property. I have a main from with nested subform. I am trying to move the focus from last field of the subform to another field on the main form.
Customers(mfrm)....>Addresses(sfrm)...>Orders(sfrm Add)......>OrdDetails(sfrmOrders)
Now I have a field name [Securedesign] in frmOrderdetails and I want the tab order to navigate to field [CustomerID] in frmAddresses which is a subform to frmCustomers.
My application is developed in Access 2003 version. Recently we moved from Access 2003 to Access 2010. Now users are facing usability issues like - in Access 2003 all the forms are opening in different windows and they can move to forms easily. But in Access 2010 all the Forms are opening in same window, if they want to move to different forms then they need to close the current window or press ctrl+F6. How can I enable/open forms multiple window in Access 2010.

Does anybody know of a way that I can highlight a row or change colours of all the text fields on a continuous subform when the mouse MOVES over a particular row.
Conditional Formatting seems the way to go and I've also tried the 'Stephan Lebans' method but that seems to require a 'row number' stored in a table in order for it to work, which is not very practical.
Many Thanks
I have two subforms in a main form. book_sub and book order subform. there are various subforms which i toggle in book order subform window by changing their properties with command button on main form. here is the code -
Code:
private sub billq_click()
Me.BOOK_SUB.SourceObject = "BILLQ"
Me.BOOK_SUB.LinkMasterFields = "[BOOK ORDER SUBFORM].FORM![ORDER ID]"
Me.BOOK_SUB.LinkChildFields = "[order ID]"
private sub stock_click()
Me.BOOK_SUB.SourceObject = "stock"
Me.BOOK_SUB.LinkMasterFields = "[BOOK ORDER SUBFORM].FORM![BOOKCD]"
Me.BOOK_SUB.LinkChildFields = "[BOOKCODE]"
Now the problem is when i change billq to stock it shows parameter entry window with caption [order id] twice. after clicking ok it does toggle the form to stock. then when i click button for billq again it shows the same thing.
the code works fine except showing parameter entry window twice with every toggle.
Hi,
I have a parent window which upon clicking on a button will pop-up a child window containing a listbox. The listbox recordsource is a subset of the parent window. I want the user to select a record from the listbox which will load the selected record onto the parent window.
How does one pass argument back from child window to parent window?
From parent window to child window, I used
docmd.openform ,,,,,,[argument] and me.openargs in the child window
thanks in advance.
I have an Equipment Form with a Supplier subform. The Supplier subform also has a subform, Equipment Pricing Records.
I have the ability to change the Supplier via a combo box, but Equipment Pricing Records become orphaned.
What I would like to do is when a Supplier is about to be changed, for the user to have the option to either a) delete the sub records, or b) the sub records to move across to the new Supplier.
I know I will need to use the after update event once the delete or move decision is made, but I can�t think how to identify the records and then either delete or move them to the new Supplier ID.
The EquipmentID will never change.
Fields are;
EQUIPMENT form;
EquipmentID
SUPPLIER form;
SupplierID
EquipmentIDFK
PRICING RECORD form;
PricingRecordID
SupplierIDFK
EquipmentIDFK
Move Selected Items Between Listbox1 (listEmp) and listbox2 (listAllocated). the items moved from listEmp must be removed from listEmp when moved to list allocated and vice versa.
Overview:
listEmp is my first listbox and currently has the query in it's rowsource
SELECT e.* FROM qryEmp AS e;
it has 7 columns but only 6 are showing (Column 1 is hidden)
and it is currently bound to 1
listAllocated has only 4 columns (can be changed) i only need the first 4 columns from the first list.
currently it has no row source and the row source type is set to Value
it is also bound to 1
I did find some code that does not do what I need but is closer than anything that I have found so far. It seems like it is copying the Selected Items from Column 1 and pasting it in the second listbox. but it is pasting them all in a row and not in individual columns below is the code. I will post a screen shot in 2 posts time.
Code:
Private Sub cmdCopyItem_Click()
CopySelected Me
End Sub

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a list box contains 10 times . I have UP and Down buttons to move item up and down. My VBA works only if i set listbox multiselect property to 'None'. For the multiselect=simple option it throws error like in valid use of null in this line of code :
sText = lbfNames.Column(0, iIndex)
My VBA
Code:
Private Sub cmdUP_Click()
Dim sText As String
Dim iIndex As Integer
iIndex = lbfNames.ListIndex
'check: only proceed if there is a selected item

I have a form with a listbox in which users should be able to move the items up and down. The listbox has 4 columns and multiple selection is enabled.
For a NON multiselect box I have it working, and also for a multiple selection box but in that case it works only for one row at a time.
For a NON multiselect listbox:
Code:
cmdDown_Click()
Dim i As Integer
Dim t1 As String, t2 As String, t3 As String, t4 As String
i = selectie.ListIndex
t1 = Nz(selectie.Column(0, i))
t2 = Nz(selectie.Column(1, i))
[Code] ....
You can select an item and then press "Down" as many times as you want to put the items as "down" in the list as you want it to be.
Multiselect listbox
This code also works for a multipleselection listbox when one item is selected, however, after you press "down" the item is still selected (highlighted) as the code reselects is (last line) BUT the value of selectie.listindex apparently is set to "-1".
Pressing "Down" again generates an error (i = -1). I can evade the error by adding "if selectie.listindex <=0 then exit sub", but that doens't fix the problem that the only way I can manage to reset the listindex to the new "position" of the item is to click on it again and THEN press "Down".
To fix this and be able to press "down" multiple times listindex should be set to the new value.
Adding a "me.selectie.listindex = i -1" doens't work (error), it seems like this value is readonly.
I can't find a way to "simulate" a mousepressed selection and really set the listindex.
The other problem is of course that this code doens't support moving multiple items at once: listindex points to the last selected item, but only one.
So, I tried another piece of code to move multiple items, not using listindex (since that resets to -1), but I run into another problem
Code:
Private Sub cmdDown_Click()
Dim var As Variant
Dim i As Integer
Dim n As Integer
Dim t1 As String, t2 As String, t3 As String, t4 As String
n = Me.selectie.ItemsSelected.Count
[Code] ....
The problem with this is: I can select multiple items and press "Down", but the problem now is that the selection is lost as soon as the code removes the first item, and the 2nd loop skips the if selected(i) = true (nothing is selected anymore).
The me.selectie.selected(i+1) = true doens't work since that would only reselect the first item after moving it.
The code "forgets" which items were selected and moves only one item...So I guess I need to put the indexnumbers in memory while moving the items.
I have been searching a lot, but can only find VB-solutions. In VB it's a lot simpeler using f.e. the .list property of a listbox, which is not available in MSAccess
The solution I'm thinking about is:
- set an array with the numbers of selected items
- put indexnumbers of the selected items in the array (f.e. 3 and 4)
- move items based on the indexnumers in the array
- when moving an item update the indexnumber in the array (3>4, 4>5)
- after moving all items reset the selection based on the array
It occurred to me then if I'm going to use an array anyway, I might as well load all items in an array, do the "resorting" and the reload the items in the list from the array. Might be more straightforward?
Btw...It seems VB has a simple solution to moving items: listbox.list(i) = listbox.list(i+1) or something like that moves an item. Even Excel seems to have this property but not MS Access!
I have 2 Listboxes the first list is based on a query I need to select items from this box or part of each item and move to another listbox. the items in the second listbox will be used in a report. I have previously posted on another forum with no real luck fyi. the query is put straight in the RowSource.

Is there a way to specify this? Or does access simply determine that itself? (arbitrarily it seems...)

After much work and help from a lot of competent ppl on this forum i have finally been able to get my dB together. Now i have a problem though which i can't solve.
Problem is this:
I open a form, lets call it MENU. From this you open a second form called NewEmployee.
In this new form you insert new data about the employee(s) and then insert them in the dB.
So far so good, but when you do a print about the employee, the procedure is this:
A special form is opened (PrintOutForm), its fields are filled with data from the NewEmployee, it is printed and then closed.
Problem with this is that the MENU form is now not-maximized :) Which it was when you opened the dB.
Is this something any of you guys have encountered before?
