Make My Tab Control Go Away, Please!
Sep 11, 2006
I'm upgrading a form that was designed a while ago (not by me). It has various text boxes/combo boxes/etc. and one tab control that has 3 pages (TabCtl87). It works fine, I want to leave it there. My goal is to create another tab control on this form with two pages. One will include combo boxes and (hopefully) TabCtl87, which are already on the form. The other will have a new subform.
My problem is this: I set up the new tab control and cut and paste the combo boxes and TabCtl87 on the first page. When I click on the second page, which is where I want to put my subform, TabCtl87 still shows up!
I tried:
Me.TabCtl87.Visible = False
in the On Click event of the tab on my second page.
But it won't go away!
I also tried embedding my subform over top of the dreaded TabCtl87, but the tabs show through and make a mess of everything.
This is the first time I've delved into the world of Tab Controls and it's ruining my day (several days, actually).
Thank you!

I have an application designed for an 1280x 1024 screen working just fine. Unfortunately need hs arisen to run it on a widescreen laptop, with less than 1024 in y-direction.
On the front pge I have a form and subform. I shrink the subform vertically and then anchor it with a "stretch down" and everything is hunky dory. But, on the min operation page accessed form front page, I have a tb control with 4 subforms, and access to the bottom line under the form is essential in each case.
A tab-control has no anchoring properties, so how to make it shrink nevertheless? Essentially, imagine a form, at the bottom there is tab control, in it is a subform. How to accommodate smaller screens by shrinking the subform and the tab control?

I know everyone is going to say DONT PUT IMAGES IN YOUR DB< PUT LINKS TO THEM IN!
I am not at liberty to change the structure of what my boss wants, he wants the images stored in the DB so that is what I am giving him.
My problem is this: I have a single form for entering data into my Table, and I want to add a control that will let the User Browse for the right image, and them add that image chosen into the DB with maybe an upload button or something.
Now, if it is VERY VERY poor design to do it this way, and it is SOO much better to do the link to image way, if you could please detail how it works in both ways, I may be able to talk my boss into changing. My problem is I am not very good at this DB Designing and such, and have no experience using OLE type fields.
Thank you for ANY assistance you may give!
PS: All images will be same type and size!

Form 1: I have a combo box on my main menu(MenuMainF) called cboCompanyType with typical values 1,2,3,4,5,etc......
Form 2: I have a command button on my administration menu(MenuAdminF) called cmdDevelopment
My goal is to have the cmdDevelopment button of Form 2 be visible if cboCompanyType on Form 1 is equal to 1,2,3, or 4, but if it is any other value, then cmdDevelopment should be not visible.

Nothing else to explain really. How can I get my database to make a beep sound when something is trying to be typed into a locked textbox control?
This is so that my users can know that it's locked (much like when the delete button is pressed on a new record).

I'm currently working with a form, which is in datasheet view. I have many rows which are combo boxes (yes/no), and the name is rather long. So each line (each row) spreads on to 2-3 pages to the right.What I would like to do is make the namebar, on top of every column, a little bit higher, so the name would be split into two lines, or three. Allowing me to make the width allot smaller.Here is an example of my problem:http://213.213.137.96/~terminal/columns.jpgSo my question is, can I change the height of the column name? Or is there some trick I can use?regardsFrímann Kjerúlf

I added a new field to one of my tables and query, but when I try to add a control for that field into my form it is not recognising it and the field isn't appearing in the sources for the form, even though the table is sourced to the form? Or am I going to have to do the usual and redo the entire form because I made a minor adjustment?

I have a form with a tab control, inside the tab control I placed an ActiveX control (Microsoft Web Browser). These are at the bottom of the form.
Everything displays fine if the entire form fit on the screen but if the form is too long and I scroll down the browser control is getting obscured by the tab control and getting chopped off (the contents are covered). It is as if the browser control is staying in space where it was and moving behind the tab control as I scroll.
This problem does not occur if I place the browser control directly on the form. Also I note that the browser control is sitting correctly within the tab control.
I have been through all the settings and properties of both controls and haven't been able to fix it. I searched all over the web but no one has previously stumbled across this one by the look of it.
See the attached image ...

I have table that I had to add a new field to which we update with a form. I tried to add a control for the new field but the field does not show up in the list for the control source. I am trying to add a list box to the form with a blank and 5 options.
I have attached screen shots of the table design and the form. The table has the field in datasheet view and I have manually entered a few entries in it but it still will not show in the control source for the form control. The top section of the form is where we enter and select the data for the new records. The bottom section (circled in red) autofills the matching record, from separate tables, for updating with the new entries.
I have added form controls for modified fields in the past so I am confused about why this is happening.

Would it be ok just to make a copy of the BE file (every so often) rather than to make a copy via code?The user can then just paste over the original if it becomes corrupt.

OK. I have searched and searched and every thread dances around similar situations but none seem to address this particular one. I am trying to make a control on a sub form visible/not visible depending on the condition of a control on a main form. The catch is that the control I'm trying to change the state of is on a subform located in a tab control. I've tried a thousand combinations and none seem to work. How do I reference the control on the subform in a tab control?
Main Form: frmMemberMain
Tab Control: TabCtl12
Tab Control Page: 2
Subform: frmChildren
Control on subform: txtRelationship
Can someone please help before my brain explodes!! Thanks! :eek:

Hi,
I have reviewed the posts for 'Control Validation' and dowloaded the sample database kindly posted by ansentry.
In the PaymentAmount example, a name has to be entered in the first control before an amount is enterered in the second control. If the controls and tab order are reversed, the validation doesn't work.
I have a form where the 1st Control needs validating before moving on. The code below doesn't work.
Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
If IsNull(Me.Employee_No) Then
MsgBox "Employee No Required", vbCritical, "Data required "
Cancel = True
Me.Employee_No.SetFocus
Exit Sub
End If
End Sub
Any help greatly appreciated.
John

Hi
I'm making my first commissioned database and I can't get my head around auto-lookups.
At the moment, I'm only working with tables because I want everything properly formatted and working at the table stage before I move on to making my forms, queries, reports, and eventually the switchboard.
What I want to do is when I call up a particular ID number in a table which has corresponding data in another table, I want the corresponding data, such as names and phone numbers, to come up automatically within the table.
My database has about eight tables in it and all are linked in someway, either because I need to create lookups, or because they will eventually be subforms.
So what I need is for someone to explain an easy way to get the tables to do what I want. I've looked up the Dlookup function in Access Help but it didn't make sense :confused:
Can someone help me please? I would REALLY appreciate it.
Thanks.

I'm having a total brain freeze here.
Last week, I posted for help getting an email (with attachments) sent from inside an Access database.
With some help from my friends here, I fought through the issues and got the code in the module to work, when tested from the immediate window.
Problem is, I can't figure out how to tie it to a macro or event or anything else that will let me push a button and have it run.
I need nuts and bolts details--- how do I run this module?

Being an Access newbie and all I knew nothing about the maximum number of TableIDs being 2048...really I just found out about TableIDs when the error message popped up. :o
Is there a way around this, short of revamping the entire database?

Hello all,
I have a front end/back end app in AccessXP/Sql Server. I have a master version of the front end on my pc, and each user has a copy on their pc.
Everything works fine. I wanted to go the last step in securing the project, so I converted to an MDE. Now, on some of the other PC's, any field in a form that has "NOW()" as the default value (unbound fields) displays the #NAME? error.
Any idea why it would work fine in a .MDB, but not in an .MDE?
Thanks
Mark

Howdy all,
I'm attempting to set up a junction table.
The help for junctions says to make a compound key in the junction table, but I don't understand the intructions for this. Do they mean make all three of ID's the junction table PK's or is there a literal "Make a Compound Key"
button somewhere?
Currently, the table has an AutoIncrementing field as the PK and the two FK's copied in from the Primaries (converted from Auto to Number). As a result, I can only make one-to-one relationships to the junction table.
Please let me know what it is I am missing here.
Thanks

I have this query:
SELECT testScreen, Count(ID) AS testCount FROM SERPTestInput GROUP BY testScreen
It returns a count for each testScreen that appears in the table.
Then this query returns the same thing except it joins another table and adds the criteria that the status for the record must be successful.
SELECT testScreen, Count(testID) AS myCount FROM Results RIGHT JOIN SERPTestInput ON (SERPTestInput.ID=Results.testID AND Results.testStatus = 'Successful') GROUP BY testScreen
So both queries currently generate an 8 row table with the first column being the testScreen and the second being a count. I would like to somehow combine the two so I get a three column, 8 riow table. Column 1 would still be the testScreen, column 2 the total count for each testScreen and column 3 would be the successful count for each test screen.
In short, can the above two queries be combined into one?

I have a little problem with making a query and would need your help.
I have the following temporary table that gets filled automatically with 2 records every day:
DATE | TIME | NAME | CODE
The first record will have the DATE, TIME, NAME ( always the same ) and the CODE that can be START or STOP.
What i need, is to put the 2 records from the same day in a single row to get something like that:
NAME | DATE_START | TIME_START | DATE_STOP | TIME_STOP | NAME
Until now i was able to make 2 different queries. One can give me the START info's, the other one the STOP info's.
My question is if there is a possibility to combine those 2 queries or to make one query to get the result i need.
