I have a pop up form that appears (with a beep) when a condition occurs. I would like that form to appear on top of all other window applications.
Access is an active application but the pop up form is hidden if other applications are in use.
Is there a way to have the pop up window appear on top?
Any help would be appreciated.
I have a main form that has 2 sub forms on it - one below the other.
Because I did not like this layout I created a tabbed form on the bottom of the main form (2 tabs) and would now like to move each sub form onto each of the tabbed forms.
Hi,
I have a parent window which upon clicking on a button will pop-up a child window containing a listbox. The listbox recordsource is a subset of the parent window. I want the user to select a record from the listbox which will load the selected record onto the parent window.
How does one pass argument back from child window to parent window?
From parent window to child window, I used
docmd.openform ,,,,,,[argument] and me.openargs in the child window
thanks in advance.
Hi all, I basically have a long form which requires me to use the right side scroll bar to complete everything.
I currently have a top header area (which is great because it is viewable even as you scroll all the way down).
I'm wondering if Access is capable of having a "side header" (for lack of better words), i.e. on the right hand side have just a few buttons or fields that always stays there even though I scroll all the way down the form? This would work the same way as the header, just on the side instead.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Hello. I have a question that seems simple but I can't get it to work. Any help would be appresiated.
I need a form that will pull the oldest record from one table, allow the user to add a few fields to the record, then paste the record to a different table. when it is done the original record has to be removed from the original table.
I have tried using a append Query, but it moves all of the records at once and doesn't allow data entry on each record. I'm not sure if this would be done by a Query, Form or Macro. I have laid out the nessacary data flow below incase there is an easier way to do this.
Persons A,B, and C enters data into table 1.
later person D pulls the oldest record from table 1, reads the data then adds fields to the record and records it to table 2. The information is then removed from table 1. Person D then goes onto the next record from table 1. When person D is done, there will be no data left in table 1.
Any Ideas? or can someone point me in the right direction for help?
Using Access XP
I have a continuous form that shows the main fields in my table. In the page footer of the form I have a tab control that has 4 additional fields for each record. I want to give the user the option of “Show Details”. When the user clicks on “show details” I want to move the tab control with the additional fields to the detail row so the user can see them.
I know how to move controls with VBA by setting the Top and Left properties and how to expand the detail size, but how do I move controls from one section on the form to another section on the form i.e. from the page footer to the detail section
I have a form we use for data entry, and not all the fields willhave data in them. When we click the new record button the cursor stays in the field where it was for the last record. We would like the cursor to move to the first field on the form everytime a new record is started.
Can anyone help me out here??
Thanks

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a form with a subform in it. The subform is actually going to actually have more information and is going to take up the majority of the form. The reason why it's the subform instead of the main form is because of the nature of the parent/child relationship.
Layout-wise I'd like to have the content of the main form in the top left, with the subform taking up the space from the top right down to the bottom. This ends up covering the content of the main form in the top left. I tried using the Send to Back function on the subform but it still blocks the main form.If there's no easy way then I guess I'll just have to have the entirety of the subform below the main form content.
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 created an access database to track orders through out production. I have also created a form labeled "orders" with a subform where it has all the orders information, customer info and product info. Along with this there are 3 check boxes for each order they are labeled, "Routed", "Pressed" "Finished". I am looking for a macro for when I click the "finished" check box that order is moved to another form to reduce the amount of clutter on the orders form. Is there anyway to do this?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a pop-up form that is coded through VBA to open on certain button clicks. I would like this form to always open in the top-left corner of the window. For the life of me, I can't find anyway to specific in access where the form should open when called...
Is there a way to specify this? Or does access simply determine that itself? (arbitrarily it seems...)

I have a form which I want to move OnLoad to the top-right of the Access window. Something like this:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Me.Move Right:=150, Top:=150
End Sub
But there isn't a Right:=, only Left:=. So maybe I could find out the width of the Access window? Is this possible?
Thanks for any advice.

Hey guys,
I know how to maximize a form when it opens, but I was wondering if there isn't a way to actually shrink down the Access app window to specified dimensions when it opens the form? I'm trying to write a dimension-specific app, so there is no distortion what-so-ever. thanks!
