How "hide" A Subform That Is In Focus
May 6, 2005
I have a mainform (f1) and a subform (f2). The subform normally is not visible ([Fomrs]![f1]![f2].visible = Fasle). When I click on a command button on the main form, the subform wiill show up on the main form ([Fomrs]![f1]![f2].visible = True). There is another command button on the subform. When I click on the button, it opens up a third form (f3). The relationship between f1 and f2 is master-child, and the relationship between f2 and f3 is also master-child.
After I open the third form, I want to close (hide) the subform (f2), but I got an error saying that I can not "hide an object that is in focus".
Do you know any trick to do that? Thanks a lot.

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

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.

I have a toggle control on a form which depending on selection uses a loop and instr to make 'not visible' a set of controls on a subform.(forms! 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.

Seems simple, but I haven't been able to crack this one.
I've searched and haven't found an obvious answer.
I want to hide a command button after it loses focus. I've tried placing this code on the On Lost Focus and On Exit events of the command button.
Me.cmdName.Visible = False
I get the 2165 error, 'Can't hide a control that has a focus'.
I guess one solution would be to force the focus to another control first, however, "how do I know what control the user is attempting to move the focus to?"

I have 4 nested forms:
DataEntryMaster
DataEntryMainSub (subform on DataEntryMaster)
DataEntrySub2 (subform on DataEntryMainSub)
DataEntrySub3(subform on DataEntrySub2)
In the AfterUpdate even of DataEntrySub2, I have code that checks to make sure the field on DataEntrySub3 (it has only one field) has been filled in. If not, I want to set the focus to DataEntrySub3.
The code in the DataEntrySub2 afterupdate event:
if isnull(me!dataentrysub3.productbarcode then
msgbox "You must enter a product barcode!"
forms!dataentrymaster!dataentrymainsubform!setfocu s
forms!dataentrymaster!dataentrymainsubform!dataent rysub2.setfocus
forms!dataentrymaster!dataentrymainsubform!dataent rysub2!dataentrysub3.setfocus
end if
I've used this most-wordy syntax because I couldn't get the shorter syntax (eg, me.dataentrysub3.setfocus) to work at all. However, this STILL doesn't work.
What's really puzzling is that if I run those exact same 3 setfocus statements from the immediate pane, they work fine. But in the afterupdate event, my focus always ends up on a control in dataentrysub2.
Any ideas???

Well, the title says it all really. After I click into the subform and type something in a text box, the focus will not return to the parent form, via mouse or tab. I can't even switch the form back into design view, it appears to be totally locked. Has anyone run into this before?

i won't go into details except i am doing databases for cemeteries - very complicated
example
i have come across two people who have the same name, date of death, buried in the same grave on the same day but are not related and must have seperate records!!
my main table has 6 primary keys. [even then i have 2 duplicates who are not related]
anyway one of the problems is this
i have a main form with 2 subforms. the main form is unbounded. i need to copy information from 1 of 4 queries run by the main form [QBF] to one of the subforms. i don't know which query untill i view the data.
when i know which one, i press a command button which copies the information to one of the subforms. when i repeat the actions above instead on the new query data going into a new record on the subform it overwrites the existing data instead of pasting it into a new record.
i have tried setfocus command - this works only if i click on the subform and activate it [this defeats the object of the command as i might just as well click in a new record box on the subform].
in essence i do not need to activate this subform at all. i just need to check if a record exists and if it does goto a new record [again this works only if i physically click on the form]
any ideas how i can force the cursor to goto a new record without physically clicking on the subform??
thanks

When I click on my subform after entering some data in the primary form, I get this error message:
"The Microsoft Jet database engine can't find a record in the table <name> with key matching field(s) <name>. (Error 3101)"
This is because I have not filled in a ItemCode, a combobox, on the parent form and ItemCode is part of a one-to-many relationship that involves automatic filling in of other fields such as ItemDesc, UnitPrice, etc. How do I code the validation that handles such an error?
Thanks in advance,
Swee

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

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.

Is it possible for an image control to change to a different picture on a form when focus changes to a different record on a subform? I am developing a simple database to record my ever growing collection of TV shows. The form that I use to view my TV show records has an image control on it, I previously had a single image for the entire series (box art for first season). I now want that image control to change to a different picture when the focus changes to a different record on the subform. i.e. when the focus changes from the first season on the subform to the second season; the picture on the main form changes with it.

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,
I have a main form which has a subform with another subform in it. Subform 1 gives details of a loan and a balance field which is calculated in subform 2 after amt paid is entered - using a macro on exit.
If the balance is zero after amt paid is entered. I want the amt paid field in subform 2 to be locked or disabled - preventing the user from entering further payments by mistake.
How can I do this?

I need to suppress/hide a blank row on a subform.
The Main form is based on a table, contains Site Header information
The Subform is based on another table containing Sample Details records
Site Header table to Sample Details table relation ship is one-to-many,
with two key fields SiteID and SiteVisitDate
The Form/SubForm is linked by SiteID, SiteVisitDate
The form adds one record to the Site Header Table.
Then adds mutliple records to the Sample Details table for that SiteID.
Some fields are populated with a script, while others are populated by user input
An empty/blank/new row always appears on the subform before & after the Sample Details are added. The blank row Before new records are added is not a problem but when it appears after new records are added is a pain
I've tried CanShrink etc,
Any help appreciated
Cheers,
Michael

I have a report which has a subform attached which I print it to a dot-matrix printer so I can use carbon paper.
The subform has shaded headers which look on the screen, but bot when printed with dot-matrix.
Can un-shade the headers or even hide them?
I attach a screen shot for reference.

I need to hide my subform on load or open of the main form but am experiencing some weird results. I have tried putting Me.SubForm.Form.Visible = False in both the on open and the on load of the main form and it works only if the tables on which the subform have records in them. If the tables for the subforms are empty I get an error 2467 telling me that "The expression you entered refers to an object that is closed or doesn't exist." I find this strange because from all I can find the subform loads first.
How can I hide the subform when the main form opens no matter what records exist or don't?

I have a subform which lists a set of records. In the footer section of the subform, I have a number of controls which display calculations based on the records present.
The number of records in the subform will change (reduce). Basically, this is a review / approval function, the idea being that each record will be checked and approved, which will then remove it from the list.
So eventually, all of the records in the subform should disappear (the subform is requeried each time the user approves a record)
I want to be able to hide the controls in the footer section once the subform has been cleared of all records.
But not sure
a) how to determine when the subform's recordset reaches zero and
b) what event to use to fire the code to hide the footer controls.
This is my basic attempt :
Code:
Private Sub Form_Current()Dim ctl As Control
For Each ctl In Me.FormFooter.Controls
ctl.Visible = Not (Me.Recordset.EOF)
Next ctl
End Sub
But it doesn't work (it only seems to fire when the subform is loaded, not when it is requeried after each approval?)
I've tried Form_Query, Form_DataChange and Form_DataSetChange but no joy with those either.

I'm currently building a database in Access 2013. I've used Access many years ago, and not really in anger since maybe 2003, so I've been re-learning quite a lot. Here's an overview of my scenario, and issue:
The main purpose of my database is to allow engineers to log various bits of information when building, servicing and testing manufactured products for offshore exploration. Because some of the engineering team aren't so great with data entry etc, I've decided that, rather than deleting data, I'm going to use a 'deleted' flag: user clicks what he considers to be a delete button, but in reality an update query will simply update the flag and, because the form is built on a query which includes a 'where deleted = 0' filter, it'll no longer be shown. This will allow us more control over the data and will also allow me to check that everything is running okay.
My main forms include a number of subforms, including one which includes a second tier of nested form: Pin Maps for (electrical) Connectors.
What I need to achieve is fairly straightforward: as the user navigates around the form, I'd like a 'delete' button which is specific to that subform to become visible and for any other 'delete' buttons to become hidden. Once tested, the buttons would be 'stacked' in the same position at the top of the main form, so the user just thinks they're deleting the relevant record in the sub, or main, form.
