SetFocus Error On Tag Check

Feb 13, 2006

I'm using the following code (from GHudson) to check for required fields being filled in but it stops at a particular combo box and gives the error message Runtime error 2110 "can't move the focus to the control" although it works on previous combos which are set up in the same way.

Private Sub Close_Click()
'Key "Required" in the Tag property of the form object.

Dim ctl As Control
For Each ctl In Me
If ctl.tag = "Required" Then
If IsNull(ctl) Or ctl = "" Then
MsgBox "You must complete all required fields to continue. Your cursor wll now be set to the missed field", vbCritical, "Required Field"
ctl.SetFocus
Exit Sub
End If
End If
Next
Set ctl = Nothing

DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdClose

'If MsgBox("Have you selected the record type and filled in the other yellow fields? These are mandatory. If you haven't - click on 'No' to return to form", vbQuestion + vbYesNo, "Open Form?") = vbYes Then
'DoCmd.SetWarnings False
'DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdClose
'DoCmd.SetWarnings True
'End If

End Sub

Modules & VBA :: Dynamic Listbox Search Error - Cannot Setfocus

Jun 24, 2014

I am using John Big Booty's code for narrowing down the content of a listbox. It works beautifully, with the exception of when I type the character "i" into the search box it gives me a Runtime 2110, cannot setfocus error. I have run through the entire alphabet in lower and upper case and consistently get the code failing on lowercase i only.

Here is the code:

Private Sub searchFor_Change()
'Create a string (text) variable
Dim vSearchString As String

'Populate the string variable with the text entered in the Text Box SearchFor
vSearchString = searchFor.Text

[Code] ....

Check For Duplicate And Error Message

Nov 29, 2006

I have a form - see attached image.
The first text box is called Job_No. When a number is entered here how can I check that the number doesn't already exist when the user tabs to the next box. Then if it does exist display a custom message to the effect "This already exists" and not the Access default duplicate error message.

Thanks

SetFocus

Apr 11, 2005

How can I set the focus to the first control in a form, without referencing the control name?

Ex. Normally I do:

Me.ControlName.SetFcous

Now I have a code which adds a new record, which is used on several forms, therefore the control name is not always the same, so I would like the focus to move to the first field on the tab order. Any ideas please?

Can I Setfocus To Tab In VB?

Aug 25, 2004

I am just learning VB, much less Access, even more so how to just understand all the code. My conundrum: In my form, I have 4 sets of tabs (not pages - each tab contains +/- 8 pages). Each tab is controlled visibly by 1 of 4 text boxes within the form, not positioned within the tabs. When each respective control is clicked, it is bolded (i.e. fontbold = true) and its repective tab set becomes visible (i.e. true), "hiding" the other 3 tab sets (i.e. visible = false). This is dependent on changing setfocus to the control (according to my error messages which say I cannot move the setfocus to the control or I can't hide a control that has the focus). After I try to setfocus to Tab2 and click the control for Tab2, it says the same thing, that I can't hide a control that has the focus. I've tried setting focus to the tabs, to the labels that control the tabs, to labels within the tabs, and to text within the tabs - all to no avail. If anyone has a suggestion, I would be most appreciative. Cheers.

Modules & VBA :: Check For Record Existence - Object Variable Or With Block Not Set Error

Mar 13, 2014

I have some code that will run if I am populating an empty table(no duplication's possible) but now I am trying to create a Sub to check for existence of a record and handling it going forward.

Anyways the big picture is looping through a text file and placing data where it needs to go. The code follows including some comments point to the issue.

Code:

Dim strSQL As String

What does this mean?

I have used a combo box in the table to input into 2 fields - one restricted to numbers 1 to 5 and the other restricted to letters A to E

Convert A Text String To Integer - Check For Error In Expression Builder

Apr 24, 2013

I would like to convert a text string to integer.

Lots of posts say to use val, but it is not listed in access 2010

So I am trying,

Creating a field that is numeric then just referring to the string field.

This works good except where it finds actual text. It puts the value "#Type!" in there.

Would there be some kind of function to check for an error or check if the value is text.

SetFocus With Subform

Jul 13, 2005

I have a form with a button that when clicked triggers "find" in a field that is located on the form...

[code]Private Sub Command23_Click()
DoCmd.GoToControl "last name"
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdFind

End Sub [code]

When the record is found and the user presses "esc" to close the find box I would like to set the focus in a field located in the subform...

[code] Private Sub Form_Current()
Me.LT2DataEntrySubform1.Form!QRt.SetFocus
End Sub [code]

Problem is after the user presses "Esc" both the field on the form that is used to seach on and the field in the subform that I set the focus on have the focus. Yes...both fields have focus and unless the user clicks on some other field no dataentry can be done.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

Setfocus Going To A New Record In Subform

Feb 23, 2006

Hi,
For some reason when I set the focus to a text box in the subform it clears the textboxes there.
First I set the values of 2 of the textboxes in the subform programatically. Then I tab to the last control in the main form. This is the code I have in the lost focus event of that control:

Forms!frmDrawingsRegister!frmDrawingRevisions.SetF ocus
Forms!frmDrawingsRegister!frmDrawingRevisions!txtL atestIssueDate.SetFocus

frmDrawingsRegister = main form
frmDrawingRevisions = subform

I have set the Cycle property of the subform to Current Record.

Why would this be happening?

Setfocus In Subform Not Working

May 5, 2005

I have a main form with a subform which in-turn also has a subform (in datasheet mode). When the user clicks a button on the main form I want to disable all of the controls on the subforms. This works fine until the user clicks the button while the focus is on one of the text fields in one of the subforms. It rightly complains that the control can't be disbled while it is in focus. To circumvent this problem I've tried setting the focus to another field before disabling the control. However this doesn't seem to work. It seems to ignore the setfocus and still flags the original error. Is it not possible to set the focus of a subform from the main form?

Example:

[subfrm1].Form![Field2].SetFocus
[subfrm1].Form![Field1].Enabled = False

This fails if the focus was in Field1 at the time of executing the code.

Any ideas?

SetFocus On Continuous Form

Nov 28, 2005

Hello,

I have a continuous form. On that form, I have a link (label) that a user can click to bring up a new form containing more info on the current record. The problem is that when the form opens, the first record is selected. If the user scrolls down to another record, and clicks the link, the form opens with info on the first record.

It seems that I need to set the record to the record that the link was clicked from, but I'm not sure how. Any help?

Thanks,
Eric

Add And View SetFocus Question

Nov 10, 2006

Sorry if this has come up before, I have been chasing dozens of threads that are so close, I've still not got it!:o

I have a form that is used in edit mode and add mode. When used in edit mode it has a combo box in the header that does the usual bookmark search in the after update event, and on open focus is set to this field in the open form event.

When in add mode i don't want this set focus to happen so I'm not sure what the test statement should be.:confused:

Would appreciate a pointer or two.

Subform Field Setfocus

Apr 8, 2005

When I open the “FrmStudentEnrollment” form in the attached db and enter a license number in the License number field (this field is inside a subform) that is not in the db, the “FrmStudentInfo” form opens allowing student information to be entered. After entering student information in the “FrmStudentInfo” form I have a close command button to return to the “FrmStudentEnrollment” form.


This is where I need help! I would like, when returning to the “FrmStudentEnrollment” form for the focus to be on the “AttentDate1” field located in the subform “FrmStudentInfo”. I used the LicenseNo Combo Box NotInList VB from Northwind db but there seems to be problems here too.

Setfocus From Pop Up Back To Already Open Form

Jan 26, 2006

Hi everyone,

I'm hoping I can get some help here.

I have a form with a search button. Click on search, search for member, then form should close and populate the fields on the form which is already open.

I figure I should use setfocus, but I am new to coding and need help. Right now, when the user clicks on the search record, it opens a new instance of the form instead of populating the data into the form that is already open.

I hope I am asking the question correctly.

This the event procedure I have set on the pop up search. It works, but is opening a new instance of the form. I tried replacing OpenForm to SetFocus with no luck.

Private Sub Member_Click()

DoCmd.OpenForm "frmDEMOGRAP", acNormal
[Forms]![frmDEMOGRAP]![txtMEMBNO] = Member
[Forms]![frmDEMOGRAP]![txtLSTNAM] = Last
[Forms]![frmDEMOGRAP]![txtFSTNAM] = First
[Forms]![frmDEMOGRAP]![txtMIDNAM] = MI
[Forms]![frmDEMOGRAP]![txtBTHDAT] = BirthDate
[Forms]![frmDEMOGRAP]![cmbGENDER] = gender

DoCmd.close acForm, "frmMEM", acSaveNo

End Sub


Thanks in advance for the help.

SetFocus Problem With Repeated Item

Aug 17, 2006

I have a form that simply lists the items:
DEPARTMENT_NBR and DEPARTMENT_NAME

In the table: DEPARTMENT_TBL

When I edit the field DEPARTMENT_NBR and it is in error (must be between 01 and 99) I want to put out a message in a MSGBOX and SetFocus back on the DEPARTMENT_NBR.

I coded the MSGBOX with vbokonly and then DEPARTMENT_NBR.SetFocus, but after the message displays and enter is hit for the ok the cursor jumps to the DEPARTMENT_NAME on the current line. Is there a way to get the SetFocus to work properly on repeating items like this? I can never seem to get them to perform the same as they do on non-repeating items.

Thanks for your help.

HERE'S THE EXACT CODE:
If IsNumeric(DEPARTMENT_NBR) = False Then
If DEPARTMENT_NBR <> "00" Then
MsgBox "DEPARTMENT NUMBER must between 01 and 99.", vbOKOnly
DEPARTMENT_NBR.SetFocus
GoTo DEPARTMENT_NBR_EXIT
End If
End If

Also, is there a way to look at a specific item in a list like that? IE. I want to reference the 3rd row's DEPARTMENT_NBR. Thanks.

Forms :: How To Build A SetFocus Command

Mar 8, 2014

How can I build a SetFocus command on the fly? I am creating a Find form where the user can select their options. I am building the listing of options for the user to select from based on which form opened the Find form. All forms are set as Modal and PopUp so I have to set the focus to the form and field to be searched before I call the FindRecord command from the Find form. I am stuck on how to build the SetFocus statement when concatenating the pieces together for the obvious is not working.This is what normally works.

Code:
Forms![frmClients]![txtStreetAddress1].SetFocus

This is how I am trying to build the statement without success. How can I do this?

Code:
"Forms![frmClients]!" & Me.cboSearchField.Column(1) & ".SetFocus"

Code:
Me.cboSearchField.Column(1) = txtStreetAddress1

Quirky Setfocus Behavior In Afterupdate Code

Jan 8, 2005

Hi -

I have a form with a subform in a datasheet view. They are arranged in a one-to-many relationship (It is an order header and then order detail setup). I am trying to get it so if a user updates a particular field (QTY) in the subform (which is in datasheet view), they must also update another field (SelectSize) in the same record. I have created an 'AfterUpdate' event for the QTY field. In it I have:


----------------
Private Sub QTY_AfterUpdate()

Forms![OrderForm]![OrderSubForm]![SelectSize].SetFocus

End Sub
--------------

The problem is if I already have data in the subform (e.g. 5 records), and I go to update the QTY in record #2, when the setfocus command runs, it puts me in the SelectSize field in record #5 instead of record #2. It doesn't matter what record number I try to edit, it always puts me in the SelectSize of the last existing record number. I have tried replacing "Forms![OrderForm]![OrderSubForm]![SelectSize].SetFocus" with "Me![SelectSize].SetFocus", but unsurprisingly, this does the same thing.

Does anyone know how to make the setfocus stay within the same record?

I am using Access 2003 (11.6355.6360) SP1.

Thank you,
John
