Forms :: Tab Order With Subforms And Subdatasheets
May 31, 2013
I have a continuous form with a bound subform in the footer section. Is there a way (with VBA?) to set the tab order so that it tabs down to the subform in the footer after a few controls in the main form and then back to the main form after going through the subform?
Also I have a form with a subform in datasheet view. Can I have the tab order set so that it tabs through a few fields in the datasheet view, expands the subdatasheet and allows you to tab through it, then tab back to the main datasheet?
I want users to fill out a few fields in the main form, go the subform easily, enter the data there, then go back to the main form easily and enter the rest of the data before going to the next record in the main form.
Hi, all! I need some help. I am trying to figure out how to enable the subdatasheet in my subform. I've already told the root query to include the subdatasheet, and it works. My subform only allows datasheet view, and I've enabled the subdatasheet visible property in the subform. What am I missing? I really need it to show up. It would be SO cool if it would work. Thanks!
I have a tabbed form. The main form is titles ContractDtlsFRM. There are 3 other subforms in separate tabs. The first field in the ContractDtlsFRM is Contract No. I would like the form to sort in ascending order by this number.
I tried entering the following code in the Forms Order By event but it didn't work
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer) Me.OrderByOn = True Me.OrderBy = [Contract No] End Sub
I have a table for all my members, then a table for each class (for attendance purposes) and the class tables are linked to the master via subdatasheets. I also have a form that pulls up all the details of a member and I want to show all the times they've attended class. Is it possible to add the subdata sheets to the form or would I have to add the attendance record as a subform that filters on the person?
Hi all! I want to insert a subdatasheet into a table but I only want certain records of the subdatasheet to be viewable/accessible e.g. Record 1 of my table should be related to records 1-5 of the subdatasheet. Is this even possible? Or worth doing for that matter! Thanks in advance! You've all been really helpful in previous crises/head-scratching moments! :D
Hello, I'm sorry if this has been already discussed but I've been searching without result.
I have a table "A", with table "B" in it as a subdatasheet. Now when i insert a new row into "A", i need a new copy of the table "B" to be created, meaning every row in "A" would have it's private copy of "B". Is there a way to do this? I don't insist on subdatasheet solution, i just need a new copy of B to be created and linked to any new record in A.
Is it possible to pull information out of a subdata sheet to simplify a query or report? I am currently running a query based on 2 tables, however this produces multiple instances of the same info. If possible it would be much more beneficial to collect all info from the main table but I have not been able to find any info on how to access/reference the subdatasheet. Is there a way to do this or is this much more complicated than it sounds?
I wondering if it's possible to have more than one subdatasheet for one table. My table relations are as follows:
tbl1: Offices col1: ID (autonumber) col2: Office (text)
tbl2: Sections col1: ID (autonumber) col2: Section (text) col3: Parent_Office (number) (relation to [Offices].[ID])
tbl3: Staff col1: ID (autonumber) col2: Name (text) col3: Parent_Office (number) (relation to [Offices].[ID]) col4: Parent_Section (number) (relation to [Sections].[ID])
As you can see the "Staff" table has two relations. One to the "Offices" table, and one to the "Sections" table. I'm trying this because this company has some employees under an office, and some employees under a section under an office. And in the end was hoping to be able to look at the "Offices" table, then expand an office to show both contacts related to that office, as well as sections related to that office.
I am trying to see if it would be possible to realize this design:
I have a table with 20 records (equipment names) and each one of them as a unique serial number and a lot of other fields;
Somehow I need to create a subdatasheet for each one of those records! This subdatasheet will contain pin to pin connections informations (lots of records maybe 70) for the cables attached to the equipment !
Example: TabEquipment_Names eqp1 |__frompin || topin || signal || modified... |__frompin || topin || signal || modified... |__frompin || topin || signal || modified... |__frompin || topin || signal || modified... |__frompin || topin || signal || modified... eqp2 |__frompin || topin || signal || modified... |__frompin || topin || signal || modified... |__frompin || topin || signal || modified... |__frompin || topin || signal || modified... eqp3 |__frompin || topin || signal || modified... |__frompin || topin || signal || modified... |__frompin || topin || signal || modified... |__frompin || topin || signal || modified...
As you can understand each equipment has a proprietary cable with specific pin to pin connections so I CANNOT create a single subdatasheet for the whole TabEquipment_Names table, but I would need to specifically create a table for each record in the Equipment_Names table, isn`t that correct?
I have a main table and multiple other tables that I want to link to each row of the main table.The main table "Data" consists of columns (Name, x, y) where "Name" is the primary key and all values are unique.Each of the other tables have columns (Name2, z) where the value of "Name2" is the same in each row and also corresponds to the table name.
I want to make each table a subdatasheet of "Data" where each row in "Data" shows the values in the table corresponding to its name. (i.e. where Name = Name2).Below is what I have so far, but the code doesn't work because linkchildfields and linkmasterfields need to be run from a subform.(?)
The error I am getting is 'Property Not Found' once the code reached the linkchildfields line.

I have several Suppliers, each of whom holds several SalesEvents. At each SalesEvent I might buy none, one or more Bundles. Each Bundle then contains one or more Items. These relationships are all reflected in my Access 2013 desktop db as one-many relationships with cascaded updates.
My form structure for data entry reflects the Relationships, in that I have a Supplier form with a SalesEvents subform. On that subform I can enter data about each of that Supplier's SalesEvents, and each SalesEvent row has a button to call up a SalesEvent form which has a Bundles subform. Then each row of that subform has a button which calls up a Bundle form containing an Items subform. That Bundle form identifies the Supplier, Sales Event and Bundle number, and within its Items subform I can then enter the data for each Item.
Problem : All used to work fine, but I've clearly changed something because now when I select the Items button on the Items subform in the Bundle form, the system gives me the data for the first record in the SalesEvents table, rather than the one selected. I have checked the raw data and that's as it should be. I have tried to undo all the steps I took since it last worked properly, but to no avail. Restoring the last backup (taken when I'm sure it worked properly) still has the problem.how do I find what data is actually being passed between forms and subforms ?
I have an unbound form on that form I want to put three sub forms one on a products table the other on a course start dates table and the link table that joins the other two together. all three are related to each other with Pk/FK links.
When I try to link them it says you cannot link items on an unbound form.
I have a main form with multiple subforms in tab view, right now the forms only open in edit mode, I would like all forms to open to new record mode. I know I can set the main form with the switchboard manager but what about the subforms?
I am attempting to create a database for my users to input new data via a main form. I have this main form where I use subforms as look up tables/queries to pull my stored data from. My problem is that I want to try and not have the subform on the main form; I want it to be its own window. Bear in mind I am new to using Microsoft access, and trying to learn as I go.
I have created all the forms with queries. I use the open form command to get me to my subform, which is a common findings form. From there I am able to search and filter, and once I find my desired record I want to be able to link certain fields back to the main form. (basically if possible use a command button to select this information and insert it on the main form). Typically, my users will have a generic finding to to record so I have inputted these findings so that they can select them and not have to type them themselves. Is this even possible for me to do this way, with a command button by writing a VBA code and linking criteria? The reason I am creating a separate form is so that the main form is not cluttered and is user friendly.
The fields I want to link are the same, however they are not from the same queries, and essentially the main form has its own since as of right now there is not data because it’s run of user input. The findings form has data. There are relationships established.
Thanks for any help, I feel like this might be confusing since I am unsure of exactly what I am trying to do, but any help would be greatly appreciated.
Okay. I am trying to build a form where I could get information like this but also editable. It can be either bound or unbound with enough information to update the records. I could do this several other ways but would prefer it just like it is below. Any ideas is greatly appreciated. Sam.
I have a complex form (in that it contains a lot of VB code and events) to display the information of various articles in my database. I would like to add some browsing options to the form (like a list of all articles on the left, and some different back/forward options), but I also need to preserve the form in its current state. Rather than make a new copy of the form (and have to maintain TWO near-identical copies of the same form), I attempted to make a new form, with just the browsing list, and insert the old article information form as a subform on the left. However, it seems that any of the code from the original form which refers to Forms!Article Information!Article_ID ("Article Information" is the name of the original form) are not able to load the correct information, as I am prompted to supply it myself. Needless to say, I don't want the user to be prompted for the article number each time they open the form :).
I'm wondering how I would go about opening the old form as a subform in such a way that I am not prompted each time. Or alternativley, if there's a better way to do what I'm trying to do, how should I do it?
I have search the forum and have found many solutions to this same problem but so far none have worked for me. I am fairly new to Access so maybe I am just not understanding properly.
I have a form with a main form and many subforms. All subforms but one are continuous and the other is a single form that does not allow additions.
1. I can tab from the main form to the first subform but can’t get the next subform. I have tried this on the exit of the first combo box in the subform
Private Sub EventInitialActionTaken_Exit(Cancel As Integer) If IsNull(Me.EventInitialActionTaken) Then Me.Parent.[frmeventFsubform].SetFocus End If End Sub
This works until I open a new record from one of the subforms and then I get an error.
2.Then, my last subform is the single form with no additions and I want it to tab to a command button on the main form. Right now it just goes in circles throughout the sub form
3.Also, if I ask to start a new record while my cursor is in one of the subforms, the new record will open with my cursor in that subform field. How do I get it to default to the first field in the main form? I tried Me.EventID.Setfocus on the On Load Event of the main form but this didn’t work.
I think that if I get the answer to question 3 then the code I previously used in question 1 might work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
I have 3 tables: tblFunctionalArea FAID, FAName, Active(y/n) tblSubFunctionalArea SubFAID, SubFAname, Active(y/n) tblLinkFAwithSubFA FAID, SubFAID
What I need is all possible Functional Areas listed on a form where you can click on active checkbox to activate that Functional Area. Then on the next form I need Sub-functional Areas listed, but only those that tie back to Functional Areas that have been activated. Is this at all possible to achieve? I really don’t know how to go about doing this. Do I need a form, or may be I need a subform? I'm at a loss. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
The subform is based on a query. The two are linked on the 'week' value.
Now, this is what I want to do:
The user must not be able to edit data in the subform (so should I use a report instead... but then will I be able to do 2...). Selecting a row in the subform should cause the whole form to go to that record so that the user can then modify info in the fields of the main form.
I don't know VB - the only code I've used is gleened from searching these forums (a great resource, so I'm learning slowly), so I'll need a bit more than 'Do a wrzmitchigob on the bleedlethrop'!
Please Help I have a form that has pages of subforms in it. i have a number of fields in various subforms. i need the user to be able to filter the form by any or all of the fields? how should i go about doing this?? I"m a newb at this so please talk slow
I need a form with 2 subforms. the main form is for an indidual. the first subform is a list of characteristics. the second subform is sort of a calendar function, produced for date scheduled, results, next meeting date.
I have tried the form wizard, but it produces a jumble of the mixed fields. Can I create a subform or 2 before I create the main form, and then link them somehow?
I'm using access 2007 and I have a form with six subforms on it. When the form is completely load the subforms DO NOT have scrolls bars (for up and down) on the right side even though the data (rows) far exeeds the number of rows displayed. I have checked all the properties and all appear to be set up correctly. If I refresh a subform with VB on load of the main form the subforms scroll bar will show. The problem with doing this for all six subforms is the amount of time it is taking. Is there something I might have overlooked, is this a bug with Access?
I want to create a form with two subforms. I create a form with one subform without problems but i would like to know how i can link the two subforms, so when i select a row in first subform display records in second subform.
is it possible to have 3 subforms in a form?if so how would i go about this i have created the form and the 3 subforms however it only allows me to link one into the form.
:confused: Hi everybody. I have started trying to be a little more creative and making my systems a little more what the big boss where I work would like to see. I have set up an Access Data Page, with one form on it where the user would enter some required information, which is saved into a table for me to monitor (date, time, unit, spec reviewed, name etc). What I was hoping to do, was have on teh same Page, a subform or another form, where the user would reference that other form, when doing their entry. Basically, they are entering that they looked at a certain spec so if they produce the wrong item, or use the wrong materials, we can say well, you looked at this spec, or so you say.....Does anybody have any suggestions on how this can work? Or even if it is at all a possibility. Thanks!
