Opening Forms In Different Taskbar Tabs On XP

Dec 21, 2006

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?

Taskbar Tabs

Feb 11, 2006

Is there a way to make it so when you open a database the forms, tables, etc do not appear in the taskbar and just appear in the bottem right of access.

So basically, like already but without the taskbar tabs.

Thanks

Forms :: Show Tabs And Subforms In Tabs Only If Data Exists

May 6, 2013

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?

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)?

Forms :: Replace The Access Icon In Taskbar?

Nov 21, 2013

how I can replace the MS Access icon in the windows 7 taskbar at the bottom of my screen with my customized one. I already added under the access options the form and report icon and was hoping that this may solve the issue. But my own icon just pops up on the title bar of the main access screen, forms and the reports.

Forms :: Closing Opening Form With Timer Then Opening Main Menu

Apr 7, 2014

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.

Windows Taskbar Hidden By Pop-up

Oct 15, 2006

I have searched the forums but all I can find is code to hide the windows taskbar, when actually I want the opposite.

I have a form which I have set the following properties:

Pop-up = Yes
Modal = No
Control Box = Yes (Only while designing, will change)
Max/Min = None

I have also placed code in the On Load event namely "DoCmd.Maximize"

When the form loads, it maximises as I would like but it also covers the windows taskbar, which is something I don't think my users would like at all!!! Any idea how to get it to still maximise ( as this hides the db windows) but not hide the taskbar?

Max. Form Without Hiding Taskbar!!

Jun 18, 2004

Hi,

I have a form with command buttons on it (a menu) but I want the form to be full screen without hiding the taskbar. I can get the form to fill the screen with no problems, its just a matter of having the taskbar available to multi-task!!!

Also, is it possible to have a few forms open at once with each form appearing on the taskbar

i.e. START | Microsoft Access | Form 1 | Form 2

Thanks in advance!!!

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.

Auto Tabs In Forms

Mar 3, 2005

I am releatively new to using Access. I have a form created and linked to tables. I would like to know if there is a way to have the form automatically tab to the next field for me. I have several fields that have the same number of characters entered for every record. I would like it to jump to the next field once I've entered the maximum number of characters in that field. I tried setting the fields in the tables to the length I want, and it does stop me from entering any more than that in the forms, but I still need to press the tab key. Kind of annoying after a while. Anyone know how to do this? THanks.

Forms :: Navigation Forms - Moving Between Tabs

Aug 21, 2013

I have set up my main data entry form as a navigation form with 5 tabs/pages. The first three all contain fields from my main data table, the other 2 tabs/pages have fields from related tables.

Ok, so my question is: is if there is a way to go from tab/page 1 through the other 4 in succession with the main primary key (in this case an object ID number) automatically populated through. As it is now, when I start a new record for an object on tab/page 1, and then go to the next tab/page, it registers a new record has been created (at the bottom of the form it updates the total amount of records entered), but I have to manually enter in the ID field at the top the object ID number that I am entering info for. Otherwise it is still showing the details associated with the last record I was in the form updating.

Sep 18, 2006

Hi there,

Is there a way to hide the application title bar (including the min, max and close buttons) as well as the windows taskbar when Access is running? I have seen this done before where the form fills the entire screen - ie no controls or frames are visible.

Does anyone have any suggestions????

Thanks,
Glenn

Forms :: Tab Control Form With About 5 Tabs

Nov 21, 2013

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.

Forms :: Getting Same Subform To Update Across Different Tabs

Jul 14, 2015

Update an old database (2005 old) with new employees, jobs, etc.

Unfortunately, the old database had a lot of restrictions, was outdated in what we needed (even had the companies old name), and so forth. So, I decided to build a new one. I am at the very end of this journey and there is one thing that is keeping me from completing it:

When I put in a new employee's name, I do so in my first tab, Employee Data. The subform in this tab is "subEmployees" and it's source is a table called "Employees". My next tab is "Drug Tests" and in it is a subMaster and subChild. The subMaster is "subEmployees". A few more tabs over is "Training History", where again, there is a subMaster and subChild. Again, the subMaster is the form "subEmployees".

I would think that since all of these are the same subform or whatever, they should all update immediately when the other one's are changed. That, however, is not the case. I have to close and reopen (or enter/exit design view) to update information. Once the information is there, however, I can change it freely. I assume this is a problem with "requery" but I don't know how to fix it, as it is obviously refreshing just fine.

I do have code for requery but it came from the previous database (as my major is chemical engineering and I know very little about code) and the code only deals with the subChild of my "Drug Tests" and "Training History" tabs.

Forms :: Buttons Showing On All Tabs?

Mar 8, 2013

I have a database where I used a template as it's base. On the main "Welcome" screen there is a Tab Control with 4 pages in it. In the template, they added a button to 1 of the pages only. In other words, it is not visible on the other 3 pages.

My question is... how the heck did they do that??? I added a button on the same page right next to it. And no matter what I do, it shows up on ALL 4 pages!

Forms :: Embed Navigation Form Instead Of Using Tabs

Oct 21, 2014

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.

Forms :: When Navigating Tabs - Preventing The Loss Of First Tab

Aug 7, 2014

First thing: I have a navigation form that leads through 5 subforms on my database. One is a data entry form, the rest are various informative forms with explanations, images and other text mainly. In this scenario, a user enters data on the first tab but doesn't finish it. The user clicks over to check up on some guidelines on the other tabs and then comes back to the first tab for find that all of the fields he entered reset and he lost everything.

Is there a way of preventing this from happening? Plan A would be for me to allow the user to switch around tabs without losing the data he or she entered into textboxes or dropdowns. Plan B would be for me to have a popup that appears when he tries to switch tabs that warns him of data loss and that he should save before moving tabs.

PS: One other thing: I have the standard Access wizard search button on my first tab that allows the user to search records. This works well, but I'd like for the search box to close immediately after a search turns up a matching record. This seems odd, but the users requested it because manually closing the search box after every search can add up to a lot of wasted time.

Forms :: How To Display Credentials Fields On One Of Tabs

Sep 22, 2014

Model 2.jpg

I'm making a database for HR. I have an entire form of all the fields from one table. But I made another table for credentials because one employee could have more than one.

Now, the form: Sample.jpg

I want to display the credentials fields on one of the tabs. I want it to look like a datasheet (datasheet view). But I don't know how to link it to the current employee ID. I've already set the relationships for the t_Employee and t_EmployeeCredential. I've already tried making a subform. But it just doesn't automatically reflect. I'm not sure if I'm making sense. I can't really explain it.
