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 wanted to send a message to the person who created this sample database with a modification query but I don't have enough posts to do this, so my message would not send.
The below sample database called
Sample - Use Hidden Form to Log Users ,URL...
I would like to add to my database. Any way to modify the form/code so that I can log more than one form? I have 5 forms that I would like to log user in and out of but I dont know how to adapt this to do that?
I 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
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.
Thanks
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).
Hi,
I have a problem with form design,
I want a form like in Northwind sample database: Summary of Sales by Year Report.
It use Sorting and Grouping for Footer that I can't find it in Form design.
Is it any other way to do it in Form design so I can get the same result like in Report design?.
The reason why I want it, because I want to control the size.
thankyou in advance for your help.

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.
I have an unbound form with 2 tabbed Controls on it.On the first Tabbed Control my command button code works but not for the 2nd tabbed control. Although the command buttons themselves work as far as going to the appropriate record.
What I mean by this is that I use code to enable/disable the command buttons depending on what record you are on.
Example: If there is only 2 record, the other command buttons will be disabled, Do I have to refer to the Tab Control ?
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 an application where I have developed a tabbed user input form with several tab pages to populate several tables with data using the master/child linking philosophy. There is one subform in particular that has two combo box fields that are related. I have them both set up to display value choices based on an undelying query. I want to restrict the scond box's choices based on the choice made in the first box and have written the following code to be applied after the first combo box is updated.
Private Sub RteGroup_AfterUpdate()
Form_Routing.OpType = Null
Form_Routing.OpType.Requery
Form_Routing.OpType = Form_Routing.OpType.ItemData(0)
End Sub
This effectively limits my second combo box choices based on the selection of the first box. It works fine if I run the subform individually but if I run it as part of the master form in tabbed mode I get an "Enter paramter value" dialog box asking for the value of the first combo box. it appears the requery is not functioning under the tabbed mode.
I have a client using an access DB that I have built. It was built using Access 2000 and he is running it on Access 2003. The problem is that when he opens one of the forms which is tabbed and he moves to the second page when he moves the mouse pointer over some hyperlink buttons the background colour ,which is normally blue flashes to yellow. Every other user working with 2000 does not have this problem. I cannot find the reason. Can anyone help please?

This isn't the standard problem with DTPickers & Tab to which I've found lots of references!
I have a form with a Tab control, each page of which has a subform on it. There are several MS Date & Time Picker (6.0) controls on each tab. My problem is this: whenever you change tab when one of these DTPickers has the focus, you then can't type text (into a text or combo box, for instance) on the new tab until you have been into and out of another DTPicker control! (The KeyPress etc events do get triggered though). Once you've selected a DTPicker, you can then select another control and type text in OK.
The forms/controls aren't bound if that's relevant. It may be that the problem is caused by moving between subforms rather than between tabs.
Has anyone else had trouble with this? Is it a bug or expected behaviour (though I can't see why it would be)?
And most importantly, how can I get around it? Hope someone can help.

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.
Can I open a tabed form to a specific page?
If I'm in the form I can move focus by using
Me.[Page 12].SetFocus
but when opening using that code produces and error Page not available?
