Feb 8, 2005

I created a form with an "exit" button and a "return to main menu" button on the form. but when I am on the last data and press tab the form closes automatically.
what could be the reason. Do I have to put some condition on the macro I have created for the two buttons listed above. I have just put "action" without any conditions on both the two buttons.

Capturing Changes When Form Closes

Jul 7, 2006

I have a form that records when a user edits a record. This change is only recorded when the user clicks the "update record/save" command button. What I need help with is capturing the changes made when a user edits the record in any field and doesn't click the save button upon closing the form. If the user doesn't edit any fields in the record, a new instance of this edit will not be saved to my edited records table and the form just closes

Want To Cancel Prompt, Select No And Still Closes Form

Aug 14, 2007

Hi All,

I have a pop up form that requires me to fill out all 4 fields of the form. When I don't, I get a prompt telling me which field(s) I've forgotton to fill in and allows me the option to Cancel (Yes or No) and if i decide yes it wont save and will close the form. BUT when I say No (Don't cancel), it still closes out the form and I obviously don't want that. I don't know if it might have to do with my macro button either? Any clue?

Thanks in Advance!

MY CODE:

Private Sub Form_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
Dim blnError As Boolean
Dim strError As String

strError = "You are missing data for "

If IsNull(Me.[Account Number]) Or Me.[Account Number] = "" Then
blnError = True
strError = strError & "Account Number,"
End If

If IsNull(Me.Contact) Or Me.Contact = "" Then
blnError = True
strError = strError & " Contact,"
End If

If IsNull(Me.Department) Or Me.Department = "" Then
blnError = True
strError = strError & " Department,"
End If

If IsNull(Me.Address) Or Me.Address = "" Then
blnError = True
strError = strError & " Address,"
End If

If blnError Then
strError = Left(strError, Len(strError) - 1)
If MsgBox(strError & vbCrLf & "Are you sure you want to cancel." & vbCrLf & "If you do, the info will not be added.", vbQuestion + vbYesNo, "Close Confirmation") = vbNo Then
Cancel = True
End If
End If
End Sub

Modules & VBA :: Form Closes Automatically When Code Ends

Aug 27, 2013

I have a combo box that contains a list of values, but users can add their own if they choose. If the value they type in isn't on the list, the Not In List event fires. Once the procedure is done, the form inexplicably closes.

Oddly enough, it only closes under certain circumstances - the code provides several different options for saving the new data, and if I choose different options, the form works as its designed.

Further, if I insert a breakpoint anywhere in the code, then hit F5 to let the code run, the form works fine. Literally, the breakpoint can be anywhere in the procedure from the first line (On Err...) to the last line in the Exit block, "Exit Sub".

Sub Form Steals Focus

Apr 14, 2006

Hi, this is frustrating, and a little complicated, so I'll try and explain it as best I can..

I have a form with two sub forms.

The main form "fmMain" contains a list of species. the subform which is causeing me the problems lists loci specific to each species. The user can search by a species or locus and resrict the list accordingly.

Now, here is the problem. The form is too large for my screen, so I have some scroll bars on fmMain. However, whenever the user performs some kind of search the focus shifts to the subform (I guess), causing the screen to scroll to the middle. From here you can't see the species info, and after each navigation the user has to scroll back up again. It's frustrating having to continually scroll around the screen.

Is there anything that can be done to stop the focus shifting around? I'd rather that when the user performed some action the screen just simply didn't move.

Cheers - sorry for the monster post! (hope it all makes sense)

Set Focus On A Form With 4 Subforms

Jun 10, 2005

My main form has four command buttons that when clicked will make visible one of four subforms.

I can switch freely about the subforms by clicking on each of the buttons. However, when I place the cursor in a subform(and thus give it Focus), and then attempt to select another button to open another subform, I get the dreaded "can't hide a control that has the focus" error message.

What type of code should I use and where exactly should I be putting it?

I've tried setting focus to another subform in the OnClick event of my buttons, but that doesn't seem to be working.

Forms :: Set Focus To Sub Form?

Sep 14, 2014

On a main form I have 2 sub forms. On the main form I have a command button that asks how many guests in a booking and depending on the response populates the subform with Guest Names. However it will only do this if I click on the subform and then click the command button.

I want to include some code that sits behind the command button on the main form that will duplicate the otherwise manual selecting of the sub form. And I am thinking this is a SetFocus procedure.

I have tried this code;
[Forms]![Booking].[SubForm1].SetFocus
where Booking is the name of the form. I do not know whether the Subform is #1

Forms :: How To Capture SSN From First Form To Use As Focus For Second Form

Jul 22, 2013

I have two forms that have a unique field (SSN).As I'm working in one form, I want to be able to pull up the other form (which isn't a problem). On the second form pulled up, I want the record to match the first form (SSN) - this is the problem.

I believe SetFocus is what I need to use but I don't know how to capture the SSN from the first form to use as the focus for the second form.

Oct 1, 2005

I have a form for entering data and to aid people inputting data into a text box I would like a pop up form to appear to enable them to refresh their memories as it were with some information. I was going to use the got focus event of the text box to open the popup but how do i then pass the focus back to the main form and text box without triggering the event again

on the flip side I would like to use the lost focus event to close the sub form as well.

any suggestions greatfully received.

Have a Great Weekend, one and all

Forms :: Setting Form Focus Properly?

Jul 10, 2014

I have a Main Form with a tab control. On each of the six tabs is a SubForm that takes up the entire tab. So basically I have a tabbed interface for my forms, just with a bit more control over the layout than if I just opened the forms separately in the Access window.

Anyway, on one of those subforms is a button. When you click it, it opens a separate form in a pop-up window, which is used to find a specific record. Once that record is found, you can click another button, and the idea is that this pop-up window closes, and you return to the underlying form, which jumps to the record you selected.

So far so good. Now, if I am working on my program in Access, and I open that subform's source form separately in its own tab, click the icon to open the record finding form, find a record, and then click the button to load that record, the following code runs, and it runs flawlessly - closing the pop-up window, and passing the information back to the main form which displays the proper record:

Quote:

Private Sub ViewRecord_Click()
Dim RecordID As Integer
RecordID = Me.ID
DoCmd.OpenForm "CDLExam", , , "ID = " & RecordID
DoCmd.Close acForm, "CDLExamCONT", acSaveNo
End Sub

Where my program falls apart is that, in actual use, this form is not open on its own. It's open as a subform on one tab of a tab control on a Main Form. So the third line of code falls apart. Access thinks I want to open CDLExam separately, but it can't because it's already open in the subform, so instead I just end up back at the main window like I want, but the form fails to move to the proper record. Basically, line 3 just doesn't do anything.

How can I make this work? I tried replacing "CDLExam" with the name of the main window, but then it tries to move to the record in the main window, which throws an error as the main window doesn't even have a record source attached to it.

how to refer to the SUBFORM which has CDLExam open, and tell THAT to move to the proper record.

Keeping Focus On Main Form While Queries Are Running

Jul 23, 2005

I'm sure there is a simple solution - but everything I have tried hasn't worked.
I have a command button on my main form that opens up a popup form. On the popup form the user makes various selections and clicks on another command button(on the popup form). That button is linked to a macro - that runs several queries.

The problem I am having is when the macro starts to run - the main form is maximized again (so now it doesn't take up the full screen - just a part of the screen) and some of the queries start flashing in front of the form.

I know how to maximize the form once the popup form closes - that's not a problem. I just cant figure out how to keep the focus on the main form and in front of all the queries as they are running.

OLE Object Won't Get Focus In Form/Memo Field Problems

Jul 26, 2006

Hi all,

I have added an OLE WordPad object to a form. However, when I use the form, I cannot select/give the object focus to activate it. Even if I right click the object, it give me the correct popup menu. :confused:

I am using this object as I am having troubles with Memo fields. I use a form to update records, one field of which must be greater than 255 characters long. When I press my update button (it just runs some code to turn off warnings, run two simple update queries and the turn the warnings back on) the update process seems to complete. However, if I go to the table/refresh the form contents, only the first 512 characters are displayed and the last few are strange system characters.:confused: This occurs no matter what I do. I was tole that copy/paste operations can mess memo fields up, but I tested this by using a fresh field and typing everything in. Hence I am now trying the OLE object to get around this problem. :confused:

Any ideas peeps??

Cheers,

Matt
