Hi,
My question is:
I have a subform which is located in a Tab control within a main form.
The subform is horizontal and exceeds the page width.
When inserting data the Tab key doesn't result in auto scrolling of the page to the right (as opposed to using Tab in a regular form).
This means that I have to use the horizontal scroll bar all the time. How can I fix this?
Any suggestions would be appriciated
I have a form and in the form is a subform. When I add a record with the following code, the subform detail scrolls in such a way that you can't see the record you just added...only a single blank new record. Can you set the scroll position so that I can see all the previous records including the one I just added?
Private Sub Add_PROJ_RECORD()
On Error GoTo Err_Add_Click
Me.PROJECT_DATA.Locked = False
Me!PROJECT_DATA.SetFocus
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
Me.PROJECT_DATA.Form.PROJ = PROJ_COMBO
Me.PROJECT_DATA.Form.SPEC = SPEC_COMBO
Exit Sub
happen- scroll wheel stops working in one table- the rest you can scroll in as usual? I know there can be issues with scrolling when you're missing some driver for your mouse, but this happened all of a sudden to just this one table, so I can't imagine that it's the mouse missing any drivers. I did compact/repair, restarted, and also tried repair of office installation. That table still won't allow scrolling unless you move the scroll bar manually first.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a subform on my main form that uses a query to display the information. On the query and subform there is a discussion field. I would like to put a scroll bar on this field so the user can scroll through the text since it could possibly be large but the scroll bar function does not work on this field. I have tried setting the scroll bar feature in properties for the sub form field but it will not put it on this field. Any ideas????

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a subform that is populated by query results. In the query i have a field called Discussion that is just a free form field where the user can input any information. On my subform the field is not big enough to show all of the data if it gets large. Is there a way to add a scroll bar to this field on my qery so it will appear on the subform so the user can scroll down if necessary to see more of the text in this field?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a form that i have created with various tabs along the top, e.g. customer details, customer contact etc etc.I have a subform on one of the tabs.
That subform also has tabs on it.When clicking on the main form tab it goes to subform but the scroll bar moves down only to show the subform tab options. I have to keep scrolling back up to see the main form tab options.
I'm having a vertical scroll issue thats very strange. Most of the time I can scroll vertically fine, but every now and then it locks up and wont let me scroll down, especially with the mouse wheel. A couple of the engineers have had even weirder symptoms where they cant even scroll down using the arrow keys on the keyboard.
View 14 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have a query for a subform which is displayed in datasheet mode (see attachment). I've created a form based on a query and used it as a subform.
The "casenumbers" per clients are displayed from 1 and upwards, I would like to have them sorted Descending. So in the query I sorted them that way. When I run the query they are displayed in descending order. When I open the subform based on that query however it is not. I can sort descending anyway by clicking the column on which I want to sort and do it that way, but that becomes bothersome and it doesn't need to be that way.
Record source is ok:
SELECT KlantNAW.ClientNumber, CaseInfoTable.Casenumber, CaseInfoTable.DateInitialCall, CaseInfoTable.DateCaseCreation, CaseInfoTable.CaseAccepted, CaseInfoTable.[1stAppointmentDate], CaseInfoTable.DateCaseClosed, CaseInfoTable.About1 FROM KlantNAW INNER JOIN CaseInfoTable ON KlantNAW.ClientNumber=CaseInfoTable.ClientNumber;
Order by:
Casenumber DESC
I thought, well, lets create a new form based on the query to see if that changes anything, maybe I've changed something I shouldn't have.
But nope, same result.
How can make the form sort descending in datasheet mode?
Only just started happening, with no explaination! Only one subform out of 5 shows as just background space until a choice is made from a combo box and then the thing appears with the record. WHY?!?!?! I HATE ACCESS... It's rubbish!! Apologies for my outburst...
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an application that has two tables, linked on a common key. The main data entry form is for invoices, and has a sub-form for parts used. A similar report/sub-report is used for reporting. Everything is fine for records that are entered via the form. My problem is that when I import data from other sources ( consolidation process ) the calculations are not performed. So when those records are displayed no totals appear until I click on a control that drives the calculations. I don't want to store totals in the database but I need to have them reflected on the viewed form without operator intervention. Otherwise I'm open to incorrect decisions when the operator doesn't notice that an invoice doesn't reflect the cost of parts used.I'm looking for a "one-time" process that I can invoke after loading new data that would "touch" each record (ideally each "new" record but there's no impact to re-calculating existing ones) and drive the calculations so that the viewed form is correct.It doesn't need to be "easy" or automated since the end users won't do it, only myself as part of the data consolidation.Any ideas?Thanks
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have a report with 2 subforms. The Main report is Client info. Sub1 has ContactNotes for each client. It is in the detail section of Main, is in continuous mode, and is related to Main thru key ClientID. This prints good. Sub2 is a signature block for the report. It is unrelated. It looks at the "Initials" field in ContactNotes, uses the date range and ClientID that Sub1 uses, and develops a list of the Clinicians that had contact with the client. their names and cert's are in a list form with a line for their signatures. This is working correctly and shows in print preview but will not print. I have put it in the reportfooter on Main, in the reportfooter of Sub1, it calculates properly and shows in print preview but will not print!!!
View 3 Replies View RelatedI already success to run this dynamic query where the parameters taken from the main form.Now the problem is the query result doesn't show in the subform.But the status bar below tell me that it have 2 records in the subform, but there is no data in the subform, it just Blank.I already apllied the Requery or Refresh to the subform (in the Command Button), but it have no result too.This is the code:
Forms!MsDataWarga.QueryDataWarga.Form.RecordSource = "MyQuery"

I'm running into an issue with my forms. I have a form that contains a subform, that contains a list of projects. This list is read-only. To update a record, you can double click on it, which opens another form filtered on this record, and which contains the fields in the first form as well as some others.
I have a command button on that last form to "Save and close", which fires up a macro that saves the record and closes the window.
Now, the issue that I'm having is that, when the window closes and I'm once again in front of the first form with the list of projects, the values of the record I changed are not updated and when I click on another record, Access tells me there's a conflict in the values and asks me if I want to keep the changes, discard them or copy to the clipboard.
It seems to consider the old values from the first form as a change, and thus asks me which to keep between these, and the actual (proper) changes I made in the dedicated form.
For the proper changes to be applied, I need to select "Drop changes".
I tried to requery the first form, also undo the changes to it after closing the window, but none of that worked.
I'm actually basing this on one of the templates, which does exactly what I want and which obviously works...
Hello,
I have a form and a subform in MS Access 2003. I have made some changes to database structure, so I decided to change the subform also. When I changed the Link child and link master fields, the controls of the subdatasheet dissapear- they show only in design view. If I clear the contents of Link child and link master fields they appear again, but the records are not binded.
Is there a setting on the parent form that also has to be changed, to make the new binding?
Thanks,
Aleksander
The error is:
The LinkMasterFields property setting has produced this error: 'The object doesn't contain the Automation object 'tblIndividual.' '
Then it also gives me the same one on another table.
I think it has something to do with the link master/child fields. I've tried all kinds of relationships with the three tables and can't figure it out.
I've tried uploading the database here but it won't. It's on my Sky Drive.

I have a text box and a list box in a form.
When the user types in something in the text-box i want the closest matching record (based on the first column) of the list box to be scrolled to.
For eg.
Text in Text box is Kan
Then the list box should scroll to records starting with Kan.
I am currently achieveing this using Sendkeys as i have rarely used list boxes but would prefer a cleaner method if possible.
The detail section of my (continuous) form may or may not have a scroll bar on the side depending on the number of records. When it is there, it is way off to the side and the user may not notice that there are more records to view. I'd like to add Up/Down buttons to the footer that become visible when the scroll bar is visible, and work like the Up/Down buttons on the scroll bar.
Can anyone suggest how I might code this?
Thanks,
Sup
Is it possible to change the colour of scroll bars in subForms?
Seems odd that you can easily customise all the colours, yet have to settle with a horrible looking grey scroll bar!
Any help or a 'work-a-around' to the problem would be welcomed.
Thanks
I'm trying to auto scroll the Detail Section where the user will able to see the last record on my continuous form.
Can anyone tell me how to do this?
My sincere thanks!
I'm a fairly new user of Access-self taught, working for a small company. I can't figure out how to insert a scroll bar in my form to allow users to scroll down to the bottom of the page. When I switch to design view, a scroll bar is automatically included, but when I switch back to form view, there is none. I've tried inserting a scroll bar from the "More Controls" button list, but it won't scroll my form: the slider just blinks when I try to move it around. Any help would be appreciated.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi everybody. I need some major help. I created a form that does not fit in one screen (too long),so I use scroll bar. The problem is that when i turn the wheel up/down on mouse, it flips through all of my user IDs, like ID1, ID2, etc. instead of scrolling down. What do you propose? Thank you.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHi! How can I disable the scroll button of the mouse?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi all,
I have read much about disabling the mouse scroll bar - but my problem is that while I want the use of the scrollbar, it is very jumpy.
Does anyone know how I can control the functionality of the scroll bar?
Cheers
Robert
Basically what I want to do is create a form that combines 2 tables. For example, I want to be able to display a name, then display and be able to scroll through all information associated with that name. For instance, if the name had more than one address, how would I create that form with the right relationships and with the scroll bars? Thanx
