Opening A Form With Tabs, To A Specified Tab.
Feb 3, 2006
I have a survey DB with many forms, several of these have tabs. If for some reason there was a cutoff in the survey I save the form name and question name (which is always the first Ques on any form, or the tabctl value) into FormSE and QueS, respectively, so I can return directly to that spot later on. On the forms without tabs I use the following code to open the forms:
stDocName = FormSE
stLinkCriteria = "[RespID]=" & RID 'Respondent ID
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria
However, for those forms with tabs of course the form opens on the first page always. The tabctl0.value was saved into a variable called QueS, similar to the FormSE variable in the above code, which houses the form name.
How can I open the tabbed forms to the correct page (or tab)?

Hey guys,
We are running a mdb access file that spawns different 'windows' or forms if you will. We've had a request from a staff member that they be opened in different taskbar instances in windows xp. It does in windows 2k, however.
The only way of swapping forms at the moment is to click "Window" and then the form name.
Any idea's guys?

I'm trying to clean up a form a bit and have it only show certain subforms/graphs if the data exists. I already have columns in a combobox query to show an "X" for if certain data appears:
Now, I know I could build another query and have some system go through and identify these things, but the easiest thing would be to reference the "X" in the columns of the combobox. Is there an easy way to reference values in the other (non-primary) columns? Or can you think of an easy way to make these subforms only be visible when the data exists? Maybe have an on load event for the subform?

I have a Form opening from Access Options. I would like to close this Form using the Timer. The following is the code I have used but it is not working.
Private Sub Cover_Page_Form_Load()
OpenTimer = Timer
End Sub
Private Sub Cover_Page_Form_Timer()
If (Timer - OpenTime) = 5 Then DoCmd.Close acForm, "Cover_Page_Form", acSaveYes
End Sub
Next question. If I can get this to work can I then use a DoCmd to open new Form within the code above or do I need a new process.

I have a tab controled form and when it opens in form view the tabs are to high to be seen on the page and you have to use the scroll bars to have access to them.
What in the world am I doing wrong. I cannot get this to open correctly and my form fits just fine on one screen in design view.

I have a long form that has a tab control at the bottom of it. You have to scroll down to get to the tab section. After I scroll down, when I click on one of the tabs the form jumps up. It doesn't jump up to the beginning of the form but somewhere near the beginning. I've checked everything that I could think of but nothing helps this situation.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
Sue

I made a form with 2 tabs. I created controls on it and I saw that some controls belong to both of the tabs. How can I set the controls to belong only to one tab?
Thank you in advance!

I've been sent a form which retrieves company information divided into 4 tabbed sections. Really need to print all this off but can't even print the tab which is showing - it only prints the part of the firm outside the tabbed area (company name and number)
Would be really grateful for an idiot's guide on how to do this! Reluctant to provide a link as it's confidential information.

I have a small problem, I have designed a form, and when I pressed tab at the begining it work fine, but then when I started adding text fields and removing them, now when I press tab, it just goes everywhere , in other words the tab goes text field by text field that I have added in chronological order, is there a way to make it jump to the text field beside it.For example I have 3 text fields, StudentId, StudentName, Cource. when I pressed tab it went from StudentId to
StudentName then to Cource. Then I desided to change StudentName into StudentFirstName and StudentLastName. When I did that the form starts at StudentId then jumps to cources when I press tab then jumps to StudentFirstName and StudentLastName, but it is not their order. Since their order is StudentId, StudentFirstName , StudentLastName , Cource.
Anyway to fix that.

Hello
I set up my tabs at the very top of the Detail section. In design view I can see the tabs but when I open the form I can't see the tabs. (Within the Tabs I have placed sub Forms, and when the Tabbed Parent form opens it just displays the contents of the child form... NOT the tabs from the parent Form)
Infact I can't even see what I put in the Header section of the Parent form.
How can I make the Tabs appear? How can I get my stuff in the Header section to appear?
Thanks very much.

I have a tab control form with about 5 tabs. However when I move to the tab that has a datasheet form, the page moves down. You have to scroll up to see the above tabs. Is there something I'm missing on this simple tasks? Is it better to have it as a basic form for easier interface.

I have a form with a lot of data structured in tabs. Since the tab loads all the data at once while the navigation form browses to the desired form. I have tried but the issue is the Master-Child link. The form in the navigation form is not considered as a subform, hence, no way to set a Master-Child link. The navigation form itself is the subform but even when setting up a link there it has no influence on the form displayed by the navigation form.

I am creating a database in which to store my data collected in my research. I have 8 tables that are linked by a SampleID number. I have created a form which has tabs, the first tab contains the information required for entry on table 1; how I am going to add the controls from table 2 onto the second tab.
I know how to make additional tabs and I have created a separate form for table 2 with the form wizard, cut and pasted the fields into the second tab on my first form BUT how to establish the source for those controls back to the second table. To make matters worse (of course not to be too dramatic here) I can see the other table in my Field List of related tables.

I have a master form named frmCustomer. I then have a set of tabs (not the navigation tabs) embedded within frmCustomer. The tabs are Invoice (frmInvoice), Contacts *frmContacts), Notes (frmNotes) and Orders (frmOrders). All form are Single Form. There is another form named frmInv that displays an invoice in a formatted manner. frmINV gets its data from a q1uery called InvQ.
It has a criteria that reads [Forms}![frmInvoice]![Invoice_ID]. I placed a button on frmInvoice that calls frmInv. If I run frmInvoice separately outside the tab the correct invoice displays. If I click the buttom from within the tab I am asked to enter the vale of [Forms}![frmInvoice]![Invoice_ID]. How do I call the frmInv form from the tab?

I have a tabbed form built in Access 2007. It's a series of about 32 different questions, with some being fill-in, some drop down boxes to select from, some radio buttons to choose a rating from 1 to 5. The reason I used a tabbed form was just to keep things consolidated on one screen where no scrolling was involved. All of the entries on each of these tabs are deposited into the same single table. I have 7 tabs, and all of the fields on the 7 tabs compose a single record in the table.
I have the actual tabs hidden, and instead use a button to switch to the next tab (Continue button at the bottom) once all the fields on that tab have been completed. I have all of the necessary fields set to be required, but Access does not validate the entries until the very end of the survey when they click a 'submit' button that actually saves the responses and returns to the opening splash page to start the survey again.
What I want to happen is for the fields on the current tab to be validated before it lets the user move to the next tab with the continue button. If they click continue and have left any fields blank they should get a message that all required fields must be completed or something similar to that.
I have found a thread here entitled "Form Validation before Moving to another Tab" which sounds similar to what I'm doing, but using the button method to navigate to the next tab, there is no BeforeUpdated event to assign that code to.

Please see the screen shot attached.
I have a single form with multiple tabs. At the top of the form appears the name of an individual and below the name are multiple tabs containing information specific to that individual. Each tab has a separate underlying table, which is the data source for the information contained on that tab.
As best as I can tell, I can only use one single data source (a query at the moment) to populate all the data that appears on all the tabs. Is there a way that I can have a separate data source (namely, a table) for each tab?

I have navigation form with 2 tabs I'd like to limit access to users with certain type of account.
There are 2 tables in database that contains user names and types of accounts (tblSecurityLevel and tblUser), and they are used to set user name, login and security level.
It works this way: when you open form, it checks if PC name corresponds to name in UserLogin field (tblUser), if it does it gives appropriate access level depending on set user security, if PC name is not on the list user will be logged as guest.
So far, I used this code and it works great for limiting access to 1 tab:
Code:
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim UserLogin As String
Dim userLevel As Integer
UserLogin = Environ("Username")
Me.TxtLogin = UserLogin
[Code] ....
Is there a way to expand the code and add second tab (or even third) with this table structure (I'd like to be able to keep login which 1st checks for pc name).

I have an Access 2003 database. I have a form with 5 tabs. I want to prevent some users from editing data on some of the tabs.
I added some logic to the OPEN property of the parent form but it does not work. "Object doesn't support this property or method." What is the correct way of controlling access of the data on the tabs?
In the logic below I first determine the user's permission for each tab. If the user has read-only access they will not be allowed to edit anything on this tab. There are 50 fields on the accounting tab and a subform. If possible, I don't want to have to specify each field individually in the code. Plus there are 5 tabs with numerous fields on each.
BTW: [add designer] is the parent form and [accounting] is the tab.
If DLookup("[permission_studentacct_ReadOnly]", "Users", "Contact_ID = " & Forms![Global]![UserID]) = True Then
Forms![Add Designer].[Accounting].AllowEdits = False
Else
End If

I want to create a form that incorporates a number of different tables & tabs. When I switch tabs (which represent the information on the different tables) I need it to be consistent with the main table and all the information that follows it from the different tables.I've been told the best way to do that is with a parent form but I haven't been able to find an EASY step-by-step instruction on how to do that.

I have a form (frmMain) which has a header with some basic links and text boxes I would like to keep as a frozen pane on top as the user are scrolling down the detail section of the form. The detail section does include a subform if that makes a difference (frmhome). When going to Options>Current Database> tabbed documents, the form header stays frozen perfectly.
I however would like to use "Overlapping windows" as the form center aligns in the Access window instead of left aligning when using "tabbed". So either :
1) how do I keep the header frozen in "overlapping" or
2) how do I center align the form in "tabbed" view, as right now the form just wants to go as far left as possible in the full Access window.

I have a form with 3 tab controls. Within each tab, there is a bound list box that lists records based on a combo box selection. All list boxes are bound to the same table and records in each tab will be in the same order.
Tab1, listbox1:Field1, Field2, Field3, Field4
Tab2, listbox2, Field1,Field2, Field5, Field6
Tab3, listbox3:Field1, Field2, Field7, Field8,Field9
I would like the same record be selected in each list box within the tabs, e.g. when record #2 is selected on tab1, the same record will be selected on tab2 and tab3, or if I click on tab 2 again and change the selection to record #3, record #3 will be selected on tab1 and tab2.

I have a main form with multpile tabs - each tab containing a different subform.
Link Master Field: ClientID (field in Master Form)
Link Child Field: Client ID (field in all subforms)
There is another field that all the subforms (continuous type) have: ObligorName. All the subforms are based off of a huge table (subtable) with fields: Obligor Name, Address, Zipcode, City, DOcuments Required, Bank Account Number, etc......
Essentially, the user will fill in the 10 obligor names associated to ONE client on the first subform on the first tab + address + zip code + city.
When the user clicks on the second tab to fill out the next subform, I want all 10 obligor names to be there already, so then they can fill out Documents Required + BAnk Account Number.
If I fill out the first subform and then exit out of the form and then reopen it, the other subforms autofill.
HOWEVER, I dont want to have the user have to do this. It wastes a lot of time. What can I do about this so that the table is automatically updated right away. They are all based on the same table so I do not see why there is so many issues.

I have been tasked with creating a tool to analyse mobile phone bill data and present the analysis, and our recommendation, to a customers. Being new to Access (other than basic tuition) this has been a slow uphill task, which is finally nearing completion, however there is a problem which I have not yet been able to overcome.
The requirement is for the DB to open first on a splash screen (lets call it Form A) with fancy picture where our customer is selected from a combo box, the customer is then telephoned, a linked computer screen is established and our staff then click "Go" to proceed to a second form (Form B) showing an account overview and more details.
The problem I have is when "Go" is clicked, the second form loads via on click event, and even populates the correct customer in its combo box. Unfortunately that is as far as it gets - the combo does not look up the information. The customer needs to be selected again for the subforms and subreports to load with the customer overview. To clarify, form B just sits there blank until the customer is re-selcted from the combo box in form B.

I'm trying to make a very simple click through data entry screen in Access 2007. For each record I want to have a standard form with three buttons at the bottom. Each button opens a new form (each form has a set of tabbed pages on it as there is lots to enter).How do I make sure that each of the additional forms populate the same record as the main form.

I am using Access 2010 - Version 14.0.61.29.5000 (32-bit)
I am building a custom Export Wizard to export data to Excel using the Report Wizard for the basic ideas.
All I am trying to do is have a [Back] button on a form to open another form and close the current form.
Private Sub cmdBack_Click()
DoCmd.OpenForm "frm_ExportWizardPage2", , , , , , Nz(Me.OpenArgs)
DoCmd.Close acForm, "frm_ExportWizardPage3"
End Sub
The new form is opening but then the current form is not closing. All forms are the same size, shape and positioned centrally although this should not make any difference.
Could this be anything to do with which form has the focus when I open the new form?
