Forms :: Tabbed Form Validation Before Switching Tabs

Mar 20, 2013

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.

Forms :: Wrong Focus When Switching Among Pages Of TAB Control

May 3, 2013

I have a form with a TAB control and four pages. Each control of each page has his TAB index set correctly (starting from 0 to n), some of controls are not enabled to be tabbed. The form's cycle is set on "Current page".

I have two kind of problems.

First: I am on the last control of the page, pressing TAB key the focus gets invisible. Press TAB key again and the focus moves on the first page's control. For each page happens this behaviour.

Second: clicking randomly on the TAB pages the focus is not always on the control with TAB index 0, but usually on the last.

I have read that clicking on a new page the focus should be automatically on the first control, but this does not happen in my experience.

Hiding Tabs On A Tab Control

Feb 7, 2008

I have on one of my forms a tab control with 5 different tabs on it. Each of the tabs has a different set of fields but all from the same table. I was wondering if it is possible to hide a tab if none of the fields on it have any data in?

So for example tabs 2 and 3 have data on them but tabs 1, 4, and 5 dont. I would want to hide tabs 1, 4 and 5.

Hiding Individual Tabs In Tab Control

Oct 10, 2006

Hello,

I would like to hide some of the tabs of my tab control on load, and make
them visible only later via another event.

How do I hide individual tabs vs. the entire tab control?

Thank you.

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.

Index With Tab Control + Weird Problem With Tabs' Captions

Mar 24, 2006

I' ve created an index (catalog) for the books in the database using a tab control and the code:

Private Sub TabCtl21_Change()
If (193 + Me!TabCtl21.Value) < 210 Then
Me.RecordSource = "SELECT * FROM tblBookTrackDetails" _
& " WHERE [tblBookTrackDetails.Details] Like '" & Chr(193 + Me!TabCtl21.Value) & "*'" _
& " ORDER BY " & Me.SortingTypeList & " ASC;"
End If
'for english characters chr=97
If (193 + Me!TabCtl21.Value) >= 210 Then
Me.RecordSource = "SELECT * FROM tblBookTrackDetails" _
& " WHERE [tblBookTrackDetails.Details] Like '" & Chr(194 + Me!TabCtl21.Value) & "*'" _
& " ORDER BY " & Me.SortingTypeList & " ASC;"
End If
If Me.Recordset.EOF Then
MsgBox ("There are no books for this letter!")
End If
End Sub

It works ok but please take a look at the attached image to see what is happening after clicking two or three times the index letters.

After the tab's caption is "erased", if I pass over the mouse is being corrected.
I tried the repaint and refresh commands but neither worked.
Can anyone help?

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?

Forms :: One Table / Three Forms - Each Form With Control Tabs

Jul 4, 2013

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.

Switching To Current Record

Nov 19, 2004

Hi,

You know how there's MoveFirst, MoveLast, MoveNext, and MovePrevious to go to a recordset and make changes? Well, I just want to make changes to one recordset, and that would be the one I would be currently working on. That way I don't have to run the program for every single record everytime I want to modify one thing for one record. Is there something like a MoveCurrentRecord? Thanks =)

Access Switching To Frontend And Backend

Nov 18, 2012

I am very good at excel and can program macros. I am being asked to build something in access for my company, or at least manage a build. So here is my question... If we build it without both a front and back end, is it easier to take what you have and switch it to a front and back end? Also, when and why is it better?

Toggle Button, Focus, Switching Back And Forth

Feb 6, 2006

Here's a little design problem, all of my VB script works fine, it's just a design problem:

Toggle Button (onClick) {
if pressed in, unlock protected field, pass focus to protected field
else (if not pressed in), lock protected field
}

Protected Field (lostFocus){
When Focus is lost, protect field then reset toggle button
}
See, there's no way that I know of for Access to tell what field has focus at any given moment. It lies inert until an event fires off then it responds. You can't wake Access up and tell it to go do something. So, Protected Field has to lock itself when it loses focus.

Here's the problem. If a user unlocks the field but then decides not to make a change and clicks the toggle again to lock the field, first Access fires the script to protect the field (locking it), then it resets the toggle button, then it registers the toggle button click which unlocks the field. See the problem? If the user changes their mind about changing the field and then tries to lock the field, it ends up unlocked. I need something that will work whether the user is good about it or whether the user is in a rush and forgets about it.

Switching Subforms Based On A Record Selection

Jan 18, 2006

Right slightly complicated (in my eyes) and I have not found anything in previous threads to help but here goes:

I have a main form (FRM_SUMMARYREVIEW) that has an unbound subform field on it (subfrmmaster).

When FRM_SUMMARYREVIEW is first opened subfrmmaster has its sourceobject set to a form called FRM_OPENSUMMARY.

This subform lists all my open escalations, in a continuous forms format and has a field in it called "escalationid" and when I click this field "subfrmmaster" changes it's sourceobject to another form called FRM_MAINDATA and should display the data relevant to the escalationid I have just selected.

In the past I used to click on "escalationid" and it opened up FRM_MAINDATA as a new form, using the following code:

Dim Searchstr2 As String
Searchstr2 = "[Escalation ID] = " & Forms![FRM_SUMMARYREVIEW]![FRM_OPENSUMMARY].Form![escalationid]
DoCmd.OpenForm "FRM_MAINDATA", acNormal
Forms!FRM_MAINDATA.Filter = Searchstr2
Forms!FRM_MAINDATA.FilterOn = True

However how can I get the subfrmmaster sourceobject to change and display the relevant escalation detail ?

My other option is to have two subforms on the main form, one with "FRM_OPENSUMMARY" the other with "FRM_MAINDATA", as "FRM_OPENSUMMARY" has a list of escalations displayed, in a continuous forms format could I set it so as I arrow down the list, the data in FRM_MAINDATA displays the highlighted escalation in "FRM_OPENSUMMARY".

I hope this makes sense

Cmb Residual Lookup Info When Switching Records

Apr 30, 2008

Understand the basics of using a cascading combo box as follows:

Table criteria for stblDiscipline set to [forms]![frmPersonContact].cmbDiscipline

and SQL statement for
cmbDiscipline_AfterUpdate()
Me.cmbSubDiscipline.Requery

When I switch to another record the cmbSubDiscipline displays the correct value from the table but, the selection values are left from the last Requery. Unfortunately, the combo box will also let the user select one of the incorrect values. Tried to add a _Current statement without success.

Forms :: Switching From Design View Causes Access To Freeze?

Dec 30, 2014

Access 2013 on Windows 7 ..I have a Main Switchboard form which is Pop-up and Modal. Everything on it is working as required, but if I am in Design View and try to switch directly to Form view, the form disappears and the Access screen freezes - the mouse moves, but no menus or objects can be selected. If I have the VBA window open, I can carry on working in it, saving the modules and closing that window as usual. But the only way to open a form or do anything else in the main screen is to kill Access by closing the Access window in the system tray (or using the Task Manager).

If I close the Switchboard when in Design view and then open it in Form view, everything's fine.

The only recent change I can think of is upgrading from a 32-bit implementation of Access to 64-bit.

Modules & VBA :: Prevent Form Closing Unless Switching To Design View?

Oct 18, 2013

I've got this form called mainmenu and inside this form I've got this code to prevent it from being closed.

Code:
Private Sub Form_Unload(Cancel As Integer)
Cancel = True
End Sub

Now then, when I try to switch to design view in this form it doesn't let me because of this code. Is there anyway to tweak this code so that I can get into design view without having to keep disabling it?

Queries :: Access Freezes When Switching To Design View In Open Query

Jul 22, 2013

My issue is that one of my queries can be run, opened in SQL view, but not opened in design view. When I attempt to view in design view, Access freezes and I am forced to close the program. My database is split, FE on my local, BE on another computer on my LAN.

Below is the SQL, I tried to just copy and paste this code into a new query and I encountered the same issue.

Code:
SELECT tbl_SurveyJobs.job_number, tbl_JobTypes.job_type_description, tbl_Clients.company_name, tbl_SurveyJobs.start_date, tbl_SurveyJobs.end_date, tbl_SurveyJobs.comments, tbl_SurveyJobs.contact_notes, tbl_SurveyJobs.regplan_number, tbl_SurveyJobs.sheet_number, tbl_SurveyJobs.mplan_number, tbl_SurveyJobs.lot_block, tbl_SurveyJobs.township, tbl_SurveyJobs.concession, tbl_SurveyJobs.township_lot,

Forms :: Switching Form From Data Entry Only To Data Editing

Feb 18, 2015

My aim is to have my forms open to a new record, which I have done, but if my users need to then update or edit data in previous entries, they can click a button that allows this.

My thoughts were to add a button, then put in code so that the necessary properties changed the form from displaying a new record or records entered since opening it, to showing all records in the associated table....

As an example there is a table for purchase orders. When clicking on this from the main menu form, it opens up the purchase order form to create a brand new PO. At times though, we will need to revisit an order to attach a copy of an invoice, or update the cost of whatever was purchased.
