If I have a field in a tabbed form (the form has pages), can this field be moved from a tab to another programatically?
The form is called "ProjectMain". The field is called "Lenght" and the page (form tab) it is on is "specs1". Sometimes I need to have this field in the page (form tab) "specs2"
I have a report that tracks scores for our employees. From the report, you can click a button to add a new score in a form or edit an existing score(frmscoretracker). On this form there are two subforms, in a tabbed control to track additional information about the score; what areas were marked down(Trends), and was it a failing score(AutoFail).
When this form opens I have it programmed to only show the subform if there is data in it. The goal being, if I am adding a new score and there is no existing trends or Autofails for this new record, neither subforms will show - I will add an after update even to show either trends or autofail depending on the score recorded. Also, if someone chooses to edit the score, whatever subform with data, will show as well.
When someone clicks to add a new score, opening this main form to a new record, both of the tabs show. However, if the form opens to an existing record, the appropriate tab shows. Here is the code
Code:
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
'If the subform has a record, the tab is visible, if not, the tab is not visible
If Me.frmtrends.Form.Recordset.RecordCount > 0 Or IsNull(Me.Trends) Then
Me.Trends.Visible = True
Me.TabCtl33.Visible = True
Else
Me.Trends.Visible = False
End If
[code]...
Both tabs are set as not visible in the default settings. Is there something in this code that is triggering then to be visible when there is no record in the main form?
I made a form for use in touch screen app. I would like to make a form button that will act as TAB- move from field to field in the form.

When tabbing through a form is it possible to highlight the field you have tabbed to?
View 1 Replies View RelatedAfter I enter data into one field in a record I would like the form to save the record when I move to another field in the same record. It seems that the record is only saved when I exit it entirely. Is there a way to save a record when moving between fields in that record? Can this be done without using an Event Procedure for each field?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have 7 tabs on my frmQuestions. They all the same layouts (see attached). Each tab has its Save_Button (e.g. CmdSave1, CmdSave2, ... ,CmdSave7). I do not want to write the same procedure on each CmdSave1_Click(), CmdSave2_Click() ..., CmdSave7_Click(). Are there any alternative ways to do this such as concate the string or ?
Thank you very much!
When I load my tabbed form, it always scrolls it down a bit and cuts off the tab. The user has to scroll up to show the tabs. I have tried any number of things and cannot get the form to open with the tabs showing. Is there a setting I am missing??
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am very new to Access and am designing a multiuser database with tabbed forms. One of the tabbed forms has 7 tabs; the first tab contains the part number and other information about a product and the remaining 6 contain additional information about that product. Is there a way to have the part number field/control remain visible when the user changes tabs, ideally without using VBA?
View 2 Replies View RelatedIf I have a tabbed from of say 3 tabs, can I use each tab to populate 3 different tables or can each tab only populate one table, hope this is clear.
I have 3 tables
a) General
b) Process Design
c) Mechanical design
By putting the tabbed form on a plain master form, I have to select one table for the record source for the master form, thus it would appear is the only table I can populate. :confused:
Thanks in advance
Hi folks,
I've got a questionnaire which has about 80 fields in 5 sections. all sections are linked to a person Id - which is the unique identifier.
I'm thinking that a tab form is the way to go in putting this form in Access in order to facilitate data entry. Is this the best way or is there another way to accomplish this task?
Does anyone have a sample form that I can modify to meet my needs?
Thanks
Will.
I have a Tabbed form where one of the tabs shows about 20 rows of a table. Another tab shows a single record from that table with all the fields for that record.
I want to be able to move from tab to tab and and stay on the same record (hopefully that's clear).
What is the cleanest approach... any suggestions?
Thanks
Can you Filter a Tabbed Form?
The menu selection is dimmed for some reason.

I have been using a calendar control on a subform and have now split the data into a tabbed form with 4 subforms. The calendar is now entering the date selected into the first record of each subform instead of just the one on the subform that has the focus.
Do I need to add the calendar control to each subform now or is there a way to reference the correct form in my current code?
Private Sub Calendar_Click()
' Enters the selected date into the DateCompleted field
Forms![Training]![ElectiveTrainingSub].Form.[Date].Value = Me.Calendar.Value
Forms![Training]![CorpReqSubform].Form.[Date].Value = Me.Calendar.Value
Forms![Training]![XOGReqSub].Form.[Date].Value = Me.Calendar.Value
Forms![Training]![Recommended Training].Form.[Date].Value = Me.Calendar.Value
I have tried If Me!TabCtl159 = Me.Page160 (first tab) Then
'enter date into that record
with no luck
Any ideas would be appreciated as always!
Thanks,
Toni
Hi
I have set up a tabbed form to preview data going onto a report. There are four sub forms each on its own tab. I have locked down the data on the sub forms.
However when I open up the tabbed form the focus seems to shift to the first control on the tab. Ideally I want all the data controls on the tab to remain without focus leaving only the tab controls and the close form control that can get a focus.
Is there any way I can do this, or am I not making myself clear?
It isn't a deal breaker but it makes the form look a tad ugly!
Thanks for any help.
Tabbed multiple-page form
I have created a tabbed multiple-page form, consisting of two pages.
On one-page forms my Access is configured in such a way that, ctrl-pgDwn gets me to the next record. I want to use this on the multi-page form as well.
But I always want a new record to start with page 1, and then click forward to page 2 if required.
At present ctrl-pgDown always takes me to page 2 of the new record if I start from page 2 of the previous record (and correspondingly from page 1 to the next page 1).
Question 1:
How can I go to page 1 of the next record regardless of where I am in the previous record? (with one key-stroke)
Question 2:
Is there a way of moving through all pages of each record with the same keystroke, thus:
Record 1: pg 1, pg 2,
Record 2: pg 1, pg 2
Thanks for your help.

I am trying to use a tabbed form, but the labels that are not associated with a text box or other control (like titles, etc) seem to aquire hyperlink properties which blink horribly when the cursor enter and leaves the label area. The two hyperlink properties are blank and I sure don't need them for anything. I tried associating the labels with a text box (which already had a label normally associated with it) and the hyperlinks and blinking goes away, but Access will only let me associate one label per control. When I have the same situation but not on a tabbed feature the hyperlink property is there, but no blinking occurs. I really - really would like to be able to use the tab style for these very busy forms. Can't imagine why a non-associated label must have hyperlink properties, or why this happens on tabbed pages and none others. GRRRR! HELP!!!
Thanks a billion!

What is the syntax for defining the tab that has focus when a tabbed form is opened under various situations?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've set hyperlinks to a couple of forms using the hyperlink address in properties. All works fine, and I've done it this way because the cursor changes to pointy hand when hovering over.
However, I need to navigate to a tabbed form in a main form.
Is there a way of doing this? I've been searching all sorts, and the most probable is to concatenate the destination?
description##Page1#page2... or something like that?
Is this correct?
What ever I've tried doesn't work, this includes ...
adding the main form destination to Hyperlink Address, and tabbed form in the SubAddress (Can't find main form)
Using the hyperlink builder. (Can't find anything)
Objects in this database (Only one form).
how to populate a tabbed form with a different record on each tab?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI want to have a navigation Form where the top tab will show the main Customer, and in the same tab also a sub table with chosen contact information.
With that top tab chosen, I want to chose left tab wich shall open (in this example) the phone number of that contact.
I provide a PDF with a few pictures of tables, relationships and how I want the forms to look.
everything has been working perfectly except for date diffs.I am simply using an unbound text box with a date diff as a calculator of sorts, which meets the form's purposes. Everything works fine when the two dates are on the SAME tab using the formula ' =DateDiff("d",[DOB],[date of treatment]) ' entered in the textbox.
The number of days between treatment and DOB pops up immediately.
However, when trying to create a second date diff between two source text boxes on SEPARATE tabs, (i.e. DOB on Tab 1, and date of treatment and the unbound date diff calc box on Tab 2) the date diff does not work unless the form is opened, and closed again. As in, the only time the number of days pops up is if the form is closed and opened again.
I have a form which consists of four (4) tabbed sheets. The first sheet is the main form and the other three sheets are the linked subforms.
Pressing the tab key on the keyboard navigates from field to field in each individual form; however, I would like that when I get to the last field of each form, pressing tab moves to the next sheet or the first field of the next subform.
The problem I am getting is that when I get to the last field of the main form and/or subforms, hitting the tab button creates a new record in the specific form, which I do not want. I want to just tab to the next subform.
