I have a form that i have created with various tabs along the top, e.g. customer details, customer contact etc etc.I have a subform on one of the tabs.
That subform also has tabs on it.When clicking on the main form tab it goes to subform but the scroll bar moves down only to show the subform tab options. I have to keep scrolling back up to see the main form tab options.
I have a form in datasheet view, with the record ID column frozen and users typically scroll to the right to see certain columns. Different users scroll to a different position.
I dont have the option to reduce the number of columns or create separate forms for different users, - they all need to see all the columns but typically a user scrolls horizontally to see a certain set of columns most of the time. I want to save that position for the next time they open the form.
I have a form and in the form is a subform. When I add a record with the following code, the subform detail scrolls in such a way that you can't see the record you just added...only a single blank new record. Can you set the scroll position so that I can see all the previous records including the one I just added?
Private Sub Add_PROJ_RECORD()
On Error GoTo Err_Add_Click
Me.PROJECT_DATA.Locked = False
Me!PROJECT_DATA.SetFocus
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
Me.PROJECT_DATA.Form.PROJ = PROJ_COMBO
Me.PROJECT_DATA.Form.SPEC = SPEC_COMBO
Exit Sub
So I've got a form:
- A set of unbound controls filters (using a dynamically-built WHERE statement) a subform in datatable view.
- A set of bound controls displays the currently selected subform record; the two reflect one another.
- A set of unbound checkboxes at the bottom allows the user to change which fields are displayed in the subform.
Turns out, all of this makes for a pretty big form. Some of the users have screens that will not fit the full form due to resolution settings, physical size, aspect ratio, etc. Whatever the reason, the result is one or both scrollbars appearing on the form.
The issue is this: Whenever the filter controls are changed, the form's Current event runs (because the After Update events for the filter controls all change the main form and subform's Recordsource). But the Current event causes the form to requery (or refresh?), meaning the focus returns to the control with Tab Index 1 (a "Home" button near the top of the form).
Thus, the form tends to "jump around" a lot when users are determining the records they want displayed.Is there a way to avoid this?
- Can I prevent the "Home" button from getting the focus during those times?
- Alternatively, can I set the position of the scroll bars so the user doesn't see that jumping around every time a control is updated? I found some interesting ideas that worked for continuous forms, but mine is a single form, so bookmarking methods won't solve my issue.
I have been trying to make forms open scrolled to the top and have had very little success.
I found a function on the following site http://www.lebans.com/SelectRow.htm that works great as demonstrated and when I attach the following code to a text box the form scrolls to the top.
Private Sub Text98_Click()
Dim lngret As Long
lngret = fSetScrollBarPos(Me, 1)
DoEvents
End Sub
What I am trying to do is have the form scroll when it opens but by attaching the above code to the form's on_open event there is no effect.
What am I doing wrong.
Any ideas
Is there a way to change the vertical scroll bar position to always be at the top when I move from form to form. Right now, it will start at the top, but when I move to a different form and back, the vertical scroll bar is positioned in the center. I turned off the autocenter property of the form and saved it in the desired position, but that doesn't work. My form is maximized when it opens. I would greatly appreciate some help. This has been an annoyance for quite some time now.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a subform which holds data in a datasheet mode. when i delete a record i close the parent form and then reopen it because i am not having luck making the requery work. the user wants the position to be at the location the form was before deletion although it will be a different record. I have tried
DoCmd.GoToRecord acdataform, "frmVendorList", acgoto, 17
and it gives me a error saying that the frmVendorList is not open. That is the form that is the subform the line before i open the parent form. The name for the subform in the property sheet is frmVendorList.
On main form cursor working is goods as per default. But after come to in Subform its shown the cursor position in the last filed. So every new record is shown as the same last field. How to do this cursor position will be change in subform as per default?? and every new record its need to show as per default TabIndex "0".
I have checked my Tab Index & Order Settings also it is good. But its shown as last filed in subform
I have attached the Screen shot.
Hi everyone,
I have a 4 part survey database consisting of one source table : tbl_survey. I have created a main form with 4 subforms (each subform is a section from the survey table tbl_survey).
I have placed 4 buttons in the main form, and each button when clicked reveals its subform, whilst hiding the others. So when the main form opens, the first subform is displayed (others are hidden). When the user finishes the first subform, they click on the second button to display the next subform and so on.
My question is, i want to set the verticle scrollbar position of each subform to the very top when its appropriate button is clicked so that if a user goes back to a previous subform, the scrollbar isnt all the way down the bottom.

I have a subform on my main form that uses a query to display the information. On the query and subform there is a discussion field. I would like to put a scroll bar on this field so the user can scroll through the text since it could possibly be large but the scroll bar function does not work on this field. I have tried setting the scroll bar feature in properties for the sub form field but it will not put it on this field. Any ideas????
View 6 Replies View RelatedCan this be done I dont really need the scroll bar in one of my subforms, can I remove it and prevent users from using it?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a subform that is populated by query results. In the query i have a field called Discussion that is just a free form field where the user can input any information. On my subform the field is not big enough to show all of the data if it gets large. Is there a way to add a scroll bar to this field on my qery so it will appear on the subform so the user can scroll down if necessary to see more of the text in this field?

I have a continuous form that shows records based on criteria that the user puts into an earlier form. There is a close button on the page but you cannot see the close button if you horizontally scroll too far along the page. You have to horizontally scroll because of the amount of fields that are on the form.
Is it possible to define the position of a navigation button. For example, I want my first navigation button not starting totally on the left but a bit indented. Possible?
Secondly, suppose I have combo boxes on my first navigation button and for each combo box and choose a value, next I move to the second navigation and then back to the first navigation button. Then it always seems that the values of my combo boxed are reset to default value. Can this be avoided?
Hello All,
I have an ordering db that utilyzes the typical Form / Subform layout. I
would like to be able to delete a record from the Main form and maintain the
same postion relative to the other records. For example, if I am scrolling
through the records and want to delete record #45, After I delete it I would
like to be able to have record #44 visible to the user.
I am currently using (2) SQL statements to delete the records from the main
Order table and the Order Details table which are linked without Cascade
Delete Related Records being on.
I had set-up a recordset procedure to try and find the bookmark set before
deletion but the only way I can get the sub-form to not show a blank form (no
controls visible for the record just deleted and the #deleted in controls on
the main form) is to requery after the delete, which loses the bookmark. If
i place the ReQuery at the end it displays the records properly, (without the
blank record) but returns the record to the first record. I have tried
turning off any sorting references to OrderBy, etc. but it still returns to
the first record.
I have also tried using "DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdDeleteRecord" but it doesn't delete the record from both tables.
Dim rst As Recordset
Dim strSearchName As String
Me.AllowDeletions = True
Me.sfmOrderDetails.Form.AllowDeletions = True
Set rst = Me.RecordsetClone
strSearchName = Str(Me.sfmOrderDetails.Form.txt_Order_No.Value)
rst.FindFirst "Order_No = " & strSearchName
CurrentDb.Execute "DELETE Order_ID FROM tblOrderDetails WHERE Order_ID = " &
Order_ID,dbFailOnError
CurrentDb.Execute "DELETE Order_ID FROM tblOrders WHERE Order_ID = " &
Order_ID, dbFailOnError
Me.Requery
Me.sfmOrderDetails.Form.Requery
Me.Bookmark = rst.Bookmark
Set rst = Nothing
Thanks!
I have a .csv file where I need to parse out the information.
I have imported the .csv file into access and all the data is in [Field1]
Instead of using query design, I want to create a user interface [Form] where anyone can input in the textbox the position and length of a mid function.
Example:
Last name: Position = 1 Length =15
First Name: Position = 15 Length = 30
Is it possible for users to input the numbers in texboxes to extract the data to another table?
I've created several Split forms that have the data input fields in the form with the relevant query datasheet shown below. As you tab through the form fields, the various cells in the datasheet are highlighted and move across the data row (as one would expect!). I want to put a particular field / Column at the start of the datasheet so that it's always available for view, but it seeme that what ever I do the column ends up back at the very far end of the data row!
I've sussed out the "Freeze Fields" facility which will keep the first column visable whichever cell is highlighted across the data row.
The column I want as the first column currently sits at the far end of the data row. So far I have dragged the row to the first column position; I've arranged the Query driving the form so that the column is at the front of the row, both in design view and in datasheet view, but to no avail. Everything I do to put the column at the start of the row in the datasheet shown below the form ends up with it back at the far end of the row the next time I open the form.
I have several comboxes where I'm using date/time input masks. When I go to enter data in the field the cursor is situated at the right end of the box. I have to backspace to the beginning of the field to enter the data. How do I position the cursor to the beginning (left side) of the field?

View 2 Replies View RelatedMy problem is that I have a couple of forms where scrollbars are not appearing on forms when they are too long to fit on-screen. Instead they're just going below the bottom of the screen and there's no way to access things at the bottom of the form. This is happening with a data input form as well as with a form I'm using to filter and display a report. I've tried selecting both "Vertical only" and "both" for the scrollbar property of the form, but it doesn't seem to make any difference.
The forms are being opened in "dialog" mode, the only option for opening a form in a web database when using a macro to open it, it seems. If I manually open the form in 'normal' mode, it has scrollbars. Also, if I open a report with a macro (on click), it has the option to open in 'normal' mode and has scrollbars and all is well. But if I want the user to be able to click a button to open the form, it seems I have to use dialog mode.
I have a form with four pages and subforms on each page. I am having issues with scrolling on pages 2-4. The first page will scroll correctly (to the bottom of the form), but the other pages will not scroll at all. I did enable the scroll bars on the subforms, but they will only scroll to the bottom of the viewable form, not the whole form, which I would prefer. Is there a way to scroll through the whole form on pages 2-4? I tried setting the focus to the form itself, but my code didn't work:
Private Sub Form_MouseWheel(ByVal Page As Boolean, ByVal Count As Long)
Me.Parent.FRM_TABLE_TAB_1.SetFocus
End Sub
I would change the form; however, it is designed to look exactly like the actual questionnaire.
Hi!
I want to disable the usage of mouse scroll on my forms. Because, as things are now, you may accidently choose/ scroll to another Record/ Post, when editing data for one specific record.
How do I accomplish disabling usage of mouse scroll?
