Forms :: Set Focus On Subform Control?
Mar 7, 2014
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
Forms!frmMain!frmMainSub.Form.frmContactLog.SetFoc us
Forms!frmMain!frmMainSub.Form.frmContactLog.Contac tMethod.SetFocus
END OF CODE
I use Code 1 to get to the third level. Code 1 works.
Code 1
Forms!frmMain!frmMainSub.Form.frmContactLog.SetFoc us
When I add the second line, Code 2, it doesn't work. I get the message "Run-time error 438: Object doesn't support this property or method."
Code 2
Forms!frmMain!frmMainSub.Form.frmContactLog.Contac tMethod.SetFocus

Code:
Private Sub Send_Letter_AfterUpdate()
Call Set_CallDateUserId
End Sub
Private Sub Set_CallDateUserId()
Me.txtCallDate.SetFocus
[Code] .....

I have a parent form called "frm_job_enter"
and two sub-forms called "frm_fabricator" & "frm_engineer"
On the sub form "frm_fabricator" I have a combo box and after updating this combo box (called fabricator) I would like the cursor to jump into a field called “ApllicationsEng” on the other sub form "frm_engineer"
Any help would be appreciated thank you.

I have a form that allows me to update entries in a table. When I select the line I need to update and hit the "edit" button I get a run time error '2164' You cant disable a control while it has the focus. when I debug the line in the code that is highlighted yellow is
Me.cmdEdit.Enabled = False.
I developed the database in access 2013, and now I am forced to run the database on a computer that has Access 2003. I have changed the database base to access 2000-2003.

Mainform !subform.form)I get error 2165 but if I test immediatley before the make not visible process it returns the toggle frame as being the active control.

On my data entry form I have a tab control with three pages
At the bottom of the first page I have a sub form with 3 fields
Currently, when tabbing, the focus runs through the fields as per the tab order
BUT
Once it gets to the subform (datasheet view) it jumps into the first field of the first record rather than the first 'empty cell' thereby starting a new record in the datasheet.
Once the three fields in the datasheet are completed the focus tabs back to the top of the first page of the form rather than onto the next page of the form
How to correctly reference controls using VBA so I could SetFocus where I want?
The Main form is called frm_Admissions
It has three pages called Patient, Treatment & Service Providers
Patient has a subform called sub_Cluster (which may or may not hold Cluster Information)
I would like the tab order to jump from the last textbox on the form into the first field of a new record in the datasheet (rather than the first field of any existing records)
Once it has finished in the datasheet I need to tab to the first field/textbox in the Treatment's page of the form rather than back to the first field/textbox in the Patient's page.

I have a form with a TAB control and four pages. Each control of each page has his TAB index set correctly (starting from 0 to n), some of controls are not enabled to be tabbed. The form's cycle is set on "Current page".
I have two kind of problems.
First: I am on the last control of the page, pressing TAB key the focus gets invisible. Press TAB key again and the focus moves on the first page's control. For each page happens this behaviour.
Second: clicking randomly on the TAB pages the focus is not always on the control with TAB index 0, but usually on the last.
I have read that clicking on a new page the focus should be automatically on the first control, but this does not happen in my experience.

I have an unbound form with a combobox which needs to be validated before the control is updated.In the Before Update event I check that the value is valid and need to reset the value back to the previous value if not valid and then change focus to another control.I thought that the following code would work but the selected value remains in the control and I cannot move the focus to another control.
Code:
Private Sub cboYears_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
Dim dteNewDate As Date
dteNewDate = DateSerial(Val(Me.cboYears), Month(Me.txtCalendarHeading), 1)
[code]....

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 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 form, with a subform,
When a user selects a record from the subform i use this to view the record in the main form
Private Sub Txt_Support_Name_Click()
DoCmd.ApplyFilter , "ID =" & Me.ID
End Sub
However when i select the record from the subform, it populates the form as required, however then the top record of the subform is highlighted.
Any way to either - highlight nothing, or highlight the selected row?

I have a form that I created that has a tab control. When the form loads, it automatically sets the focus to a field in the subform. This wouldn't be a problem, except when it does it hides the tabs at the top of the form so I have to go and scroll back up every time I click a tab so that I can see the tabs. Is there a way to adjust this? I have tried hiding a field and setting the focus to it and that didn't work. I also tried setting the focus to the actual tab, but that also did not work.

Hi all
when i double click on a control that stores a date, i open a active x calendar that i use on a pop up form. (i think its the cal.ocx in access 2003).
I have a few date boxes on my unbound form and i want to use the same calendar popup.
when the popup opens the focus moves to the calendar. i'm trying to put the date into the control i originally double click in.
Any ideas are much appreciated.

Hi,
I tried hiding a list control by setting its visible property to Flase in VB; however, it keeps returning a message: You can't hide a control that has the focus.
I don't know who to move the focus from my list control before hiding it. I searched in the MSDN online, but with no luck.
Any help will be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
B

Hi
I am trying to write simple code that undoes entering a new record and moves the focus to a mandatory field. I wrote the code below; however, I get this run time error message each time I run it.
DB can't move the focus to the control PlotNum.
My code:
Private Sub cmbHouseType_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
Forms![frmHouse]![qryHouse2]![PlotNum].SetFocus
If Forms![frmHouse]![qryHouse2]![PlotNum].Text = "" Then
Cancel = True
Me.Undo
MsgBox "Please enter the Plot Number first, then enter the House Type"
End If
End Sub
Any help will be very much appreciated

I understand that I cannot change control.enabled to false while the control has focus.
Does this mean that if I were to make a form with only one control that can have focus then I cannot disable said control?
I'm used to plain old VB6 and am unfamiliar with this restriction :mad:

I have a form with 2 tabs and a sub form on each of those tabs. form1, subformA, subformB on tab control - tabctrl - pageA, pageB. How can i set focus from one tab to another without actually clicking the tab?
I tried this:
TabCtl.Pages("page2").SetFocus
It's comming up with an error - "object required"
I also tried:
page.2.setfocus and that's comming up with an error that it's wrong syntax.
I also tried:
formMyForm.page2.setfocus and that says object required as well.

I have read the threads on this subject and I thought I had my coding fixed, but obviously not, beacause I still get the error, "You can't hide a control that has the focus". Maybe it is a form/subform thing.
Here is my code:
Private Sub txtAge_AfterUpdate()
If Me.txtAge > 39 Then
Me!subfrmVersion.Form.chkWellness.Visible = False
End If
End Sub
txtAge is on the main form and chkWellness is on the subform.
Any help would be appreciated.
