Tabbing Between Main Form And Subform
Nov 18, 2005
Hello all,
This is my first post to these forums, however I have leeched so much information off of all you guys that I can't even begin to express my gratitude. So, now, onto my problem...
I'm developing a form for our call centre people to enter information regarding customer returns. Customer orders are placed on one of two systems. In my form, when the person is entering info, I have a drop down box to choose between the two systems, which calls up a respective subform to enter system-specific information. The problem I have is that I can use tab to enter the subform, however I can't use it to get out. There are two records in the subform - order date and order number. After I enter info into these 2 textboxes and try to tab out, it seems that the subform goes to a new record. How can I get my form to tab into the next required field on the main form? Hopefully this makes sense, I just read through it and its kinda questionable. Thank you very much in advance.

everytime i try to tab from my subform, it creates a new record for that subform. Also, about the subform, the control that links the main form and sub form is unique.
I have now set my Cycle property on my subforms and forms to Current Record. How can I tab from the subform to the main form and vice versa?
Thanks!

I have a subform which makes a change to a field on the main form. When focus is returned to the main form, the BeforeUpdate and AfterUpdate events fire. Why? I thought from the form's perspective, the subform is just another control.
BTW, I get the same behavior if I modify the field from within the Exit event of the subform control.
In either case, the main form's Dirty event is NOT triggered.

I have a main form that has two subforms, subform1 and subform2, both connected to the main form. When I enter data into a field in subform1 I want subform2 to requery and update to show the calculated results from the new or changed data in subform1.
I found that if I do a refresh it works when changing the data but not when entering a new line of data in subform1. I tried some code in the after update field of on subform1, but cannot seem to get anything to work.
Me.[subform2].Form.Requery
Does not work. It errors and says it cannot recognize subform2 as a field. I have tried a field name on subform2 but I still got the same error.

Lets say I have Form A and Subform A with the parent-child relationship established that works well. Subform A has a Text box control that is getting display when I include the subform in Form A.
Now, I decided I dont want to include subform A in the Form A. Is there a way for me to show the contents of that Text box control in Form A without attaching the subform in the main form (Form A)?
I read somewhere that to refer a control on a subform, I have to use the code - Forms!mainform!subform.form!control. But this would be in VBA. What is the equivalent of this in a Control Source in the main form?
If I have not explained myself correctly, please do let me know.
To summarize, my question is without including the subform, I want to reference the values of the subform in the mainform. (I have some design necessity for this requirement) Is there a way for this?
thanks!

Hi,
I've a form that has 2 subforms - which subform is used is dependant on the selection of a combo box in the main form. After much time spend trying to set this up I am happy to report that this section works fine.
My problem is that when I have completed the subform I am not able to continue tabbing through the rest of the form.
Any help would be great,
thanks
Barry

I have a main form that contains basic project information, and one of many subforms that contains project manager and contract information. (forms and subs linked by project ID) My project managers want to have the ability to only show project records that are theirs. I can make a filter based on any field in the main form without a problem using code like below.
Dim strFilter As String
strFilter = "ILFID Like '*FME*'"
Me.Filter = strFilter
Me.FilterOn = True
How do I write a filter to reference the project manager field in a subform that will actually filter the main form and subform records?
Thanks!

Hi,
I have set up a database for my company which holds records to all the companies that we have as clients. I have created a main form and a subform. The main form is where all the particulars of the companies are entered, and the subform is like a preview window of the companies. By right, when i click on one of the records in the subform, it should reflect in the main form, enabling me to add on additional information using the fields in the main form (i have some features in the main form that should be used to record the informatio), but I just do not know how to go about doing that. is there a way to link the subform to the main form, such that when i click on the past records in the subform, it will reflect on the main form for me to edit? Any help is appreciated.

I have created a 1 to many database. One employee table with personal details and then tables reflecting costs like, flights, accommodation, visa costs etc.I then created a query(total costs) to add up the total of those tables and then a subform that I inserted in the main form that just display the total over cost.
When I click, new record, everything goes blank which is perfect for me to input a new record but the total of the 1st record( i only have one record at the moment) remains the same.

I have a main form with a subform. On my main form, I have a combo box set to "find a record on my subform, based on what I select in the combo box." This works great! At the same time, I want to use this main form combo box to synchronize with a combo box in the subform to display a value based upon the value selected in the main form's combo box. I have tried several things and searched Access newsgroups without success. I am using MS Access 2002, producing an Access 2000 database. Has anyone got any ideas? I could really use some help. Thank-You.

I have a form with a subform and on the form and also on the subform, I have three comboboxes or txtboxes and in the OnExit event I have a little procedure which makes sure that each have been filled in or it asks if you want to cancell and if yes, it setfocus on the cmdCancell and then I can canells the records, and the procedure looks like this:
Me!QCTypes_Label.ForeColor = 0 'Change Label Color to Black
Dim Response As VbMsgBoxResult
If Len(Nz(Me.QCTypes, "")) = 0 Then 'If QC Type is Blank
Response = MsgBox("No QC Type Was Entered," & vbCrLf & "Do You Want to Cancel QCA.", vbYesNo + vbDefaultButton2, "No?")
If Response = vbYes Then
Me.cmdCancell.SetFocus 'SetFocus on cmdCancell
Exit Sub 'Exit Immediately
Else
Me!QCTypes_Label.ForeColor = 33023 'Change Label Color to Orange
Cancel = True 'Re-Enter QC Type, same field
End If
End If
Now the main form works great, but the subform acts strange, when I select YES, instead of cancelling and closing like the main form, this one does each procedure for each of the other two procedures. Why does it work right on the main and not on the subform? Thank you in advance for any assistnace rendered. :eek:

Hi,
I want a user to be able to create a new record in the main form, after they have finished filling in the boxes in a subform by pressing the Enter key, rather than having to click the 'new record' button on the main form.
I reckon I need a 'default button' on the subform but I have no idea what this should do when clicked to create the new record...

I have a main form that has 3 fields. They are all locked fields, only to show the user the "person" record that they are looking at. They update to subforms on a tab. The first subform is activities (like from a mailing - received return no forwarding address, received updated address, called us, etc)
The other subform is for addresses, original and updated.
There is a date field for the date of any updated addresses.
What I need to do is allow users to enter activities and move around from main record to main record. The important thing is that if they enter an activity on the subform that is for receiving an address change, I need to make sure that they do not leave the main record, without entering in an updated address for that same date, on the address subform.
The activity subform has a date field too, so the validation part seems like it wouldnt be too hard...
IIF ?subform-activities-field-activitytype = "updated address" (3/code to lookup table) AND ?subform-address-field-date = grrr this is where I get confused.
Then msg "Stop, you must add the updated address for the activity of receiving an address change"
cancel = true
end if
make sense?
Any help would be gratefully appreciated!

I have a main form with an unbound combo box. I also have a subform showing records in datasheet view.on the after_update event of the combobox I want to filter the subform. Here is my code (note frmqrysubmittals is the subform and the recordsource for the subform is initially the RS1 portion of code):Dim RS1 As StringDim RS2 As StringDim RS3 As StringRS1 = "SELECT tblSubmittals.SubmittalID, tblSubmittals.Format, tblSubmittals.[Specification Section], tblContractorInfo.Contractor, tblSubmittals.[Project Number], tblSubmittals.Description FROM tblContractorInfo INNER JOIN tblSubmittals ON tblContractorInfo.ContractorID = tblSubmittals.ContractorID"RS2 = " WHERE (((tblContractorInfo.Contractor)=" & Chr$(34) & Me.cboContractor.Value & Chr$(34) & "));"rs3 = RS1 & RS2Me.frmqrySubmittals.Form.RecordSource = rs3me.frmqrySubmittals.form.requeryWhen I update the cbo box the subform doesn't display any records. When I go to design view and look at the record source it displays the RS1 portion (the original RS), but all of the terms are placed in brackets []. Note, the subform and contorl are both named frmqrySubmittals.I've been at this for days. What am I doing wrong?Thank you everyone for your help. This group has been a great resource over the past few months as I stuble through learning Access.

I have a sub form which has the Save Button. In case the user keys in the details in the sub form, but then directly clicks the Payment command button of the main form, I want to call the Save button in the sub form if the form is dirty, and do the save, otherwise, proceed with the payment command button.
Every time I try to call the save procedure from the main form's Payment button, I get this error that "object does not support this property or method"
I am calling the save button's code in the subform as
forms.MainForm.SubForm.Save Producedure
Exact Code is : Forms.newpatients.InvoiceHeader.Command7_Click
How do I call this command7_click, which resides in the sub form, in the main form, and invoke it only if the data in the sub form has changed.
Please help.
Thanks,
Vinai

Hello,
I have tried everywhere for a solution to this:mad: Any help is much appreciated.
I have a main form with a subform. The subform shows related records using a match criteria. Each record that shows in the subform also has a unique ID. This unique ID is also shown on the main form record (although not used to link the main and sub forms).
I would like to be able to click on a command button on each of the records in the subform and goto the Main form record. I can't find any threads that deal with this though - sorry!
Hope it makes sense
DJ

Hi, all...
Sure hoping someone can help me with this. I have a main form with a continuous subform. I am trying to filter the subform "behavior" combo box with another combo box on the subform "learningtype". The subform filter works fine if only the subform is open, although I can't add records because it would require a record in the main form. However, now that I've added the subform to the mainform, when I open it it asks for the parameter value of the filter combo box on the subform. Can someone help me, please...I'm desperate. I'm attaching a sample for you to look at.
Thanks, gurus!!

OK.... This is a DB I've been playing with a while... Got a few things fixed and working.... But of course more problems came up. This is a DB for tracking time spent on a project. This was all it was at first... Then I decided to add invoicing and got into trouble :) I have one main problem now and can't decide the best way to fix it.... Other then starting again and redesigning the DB.
I attached a copy... Easier to see the problem that way. From the main menu, click on "Open Client Billing"......From there, select a record on the subform and click "View Unbilled Time" From this form you will check a box to "Export" that time to create the invoice. And here is the problem. For example, if you click one out of two records to export it shows your record and creates the invoice. BUT... then if you close out and open it again to add the other record creating another invoice the previous record is ALSO in the new invoice!
So.... The records in the subform are not getting tied to the invoice number. Anyone want to make some suggestions on how the best way to correct my problem would be?
Thanks

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
