Hi,
I created a form based on head/detail/foot kind of setup.
Now in the detail I have a combo box and a textbox. Is it possible for me to set focus to the next line textbox after the combo box fires onExit trigger?
so for instance:
form is empty. Fill in textbox, choose from dropdown, and then on Exit the focus is set to the next line textbox.
Thanks,

I haven't used Access in a couple of years. I created a DB some years ago where I did not want the users to be able to view/change the forms, queries, etc.
I only wanted them to be able to view the "finished" product and do the data input.
I remember there was an "alt+key" combination I hit when I opened the db file in order to view/change queries, forms, etc.
Now, I've forgotten the key combination at open which allows me to see the details of the db.
I have some formulaes in that old db that I now need.
Could someone please advise on the key combination at open which will allow me to view/modify the details of the db?
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Sincerely,
Joel
I have taken over an Access database and I need to be able to add a delete button to every row in a detail view.
The rows contain a filename and a hyperlink which are pulled from an MS Sql server table.
I need to be able to put a small delete button at the end of each row which, when clicked will delete the relevant entry. How can I achieve this.
On a subform that records notes in datasheet view (columns: Date, Note; sorted in reverse chronological order with newest at the top), is there a way to get the blank new record line to appear at the top? Otherwise, you have to counter-intuitively scroll down below the oldest entry to enter a new line.
We could sort in chronological order, but then the most relevant notes would sometimes be scrolled off the bottom of the form and not seen.
I'm trying to create a report where I can use a section header as a hyperlink to show/hide detail, but only for that section. For example, my customer names are:
Code:
ABC Co.
ZYX Co.
123 Co.
If I click on ZYX Co., I want it to show the contracts for ONLY that customer:
Code:
ABC Co.
ZYX Co.
Contract 1
Contract 2
123 Co.
Right now, my code looks like this for On_Click:
Code:
If Me.Detail.Visible = False Then
Me.Detail.Visible = True
Else
Me.Detail.Visible = False
End If
But it shows and hides detail for ALL customers when I do this. Is there a way to only show/hide for the customer on which I click?
Here's the statement
Code:
sqlfinal = "SELECT Employees.ID, Employees.Name "
sqlfinal = sqlfinal & "FROM ((qryDeptVBA INNER JOIN qrySkillVBA ON qryDeptVBA.ID = qrySkillVBA.ID) "
sqlfinal = sqlfinal & "INNER JOIN Employees ON qryDeptVBA.ID = Employees.ID) "
sqlfinal = sqlfinal & "INNER JOIN qryAreaVBA ON Employees.ID = qryAreaVBA.EmpID "
sqlfinal = sqlfinal & "GROUP BY Employees.ID, Employees.Name;"
If i simply remove the GROUP BY line and stick the semicolon at the end of the previous line (.EmpID; ) it works just fine. How is adding a group by line causing an error?I tried adding another parenthes at the beginning ((( and ending the joins as EmpID); and that failed with the exact same error.
I have a main form with 3 sub forms. The main form is tied to a table called QUOTES_MASTER. The first sub form is tied to a table called QUOTE_ LINE_ ITEMS_DIRTGLUE. It calculates the subtotal when selecting items. The relationship is one-to-many linked on QUOTE_ID.
The second sub form adds up total of all line items and is not tied to a table.The third sub form adds ESTIMATED FREIGHT to the PRODUCT TOTAL and is not tied to a table. how to get the values from the line items form inserted into the QUOTE_LINE_ITEMS_DIRTGLUE table as they are added.
I also want to insert the total value from ESTIMATED DELIVERED into the LINE_TOTALS field in the table QUOTES_MASTER.I tried this code on the product total sub form but it doesn't do anything and there are no errors:
Private Sub PROD_SUB_AfterUpdate()
DoCmd.RunSQL "UPDATE QUOTE_LINE_ITEMS_DIRTGLUE SET QUOTE_LINE_ITEMS_DIRTGLUE.SUBTOTAL = Me.PROD_SUB WHERE QUOTES_MASTER.QUOTE_ID = " & Me.QUOTE_ID
I have a module which reads a CSV transaction file line by line and adds the correct transactions to an access table and places the wrong ones in a logfile.Now some transactions are rejected twice there is even one rejected six times. Whereas one wrong transaction is processed only once. I am certainly overlooking something obvious in the logic but what. Here is the relevant code.
Code:
Function ImportCSVForConfederation(inputCSV, ORG)
Dim TNO As Integer, TACT As Integer, TABLE As String, TLINE As String, I As Integer, J As Integer, K As Integer
Dim FLD1 As String, FLD2 As String, FLD3 As String, FLD4 As String, LogFile As String, LogPath As String
Dim Lim As String, ITNO As Integer
[code]....
I am having a little difficulty with my importing in Access. Every time I import my text file, the lines will be jumbled. I have been reading up and I found this recordset code that seems to be what I need:
Code:
Dim strLine As String
Dim intLineNum As Integer
Dim MyDB As DAO.Database
Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
Open "C:TestTest.txt" For Input As #1
Set MyDB = CurrentDb
Set rst = MyDB.OpenRecordset("tblResults", dbOpenDynaset)
CurrentDb.Execute "DELETE * FROM tblResults", dbFailOnError 'Clear tblResults
[code]....
Basically, this code will extract data from the text file as long as it fulfills the Mid$ criteria. Here's where my problem comes. Each line in my text file is of different lengths and I have to capture the entire line.
I think using the Left$ function would work, but I don't know how to determine the character count such that the entire line of text would be inserted into the table.
Another difference between what I need and the code above is that, I am required to store each line into each row of my table, meaning
Line 1 is placed in Row 1 Column 1
Line 2 is placed in Row 2 Column 1
Line 3 is placed in Row 3 Column 1
.
.
.
Line X is placed in Row X Column 1.
I can change multiple things on a line graph with VBA.
Me.Graph47.chartType = GraphType ' take 65 for line
with me.graph47
.SeriesCollection(1).border.Color = vbblue ' change the line color
.SeriesCollection(1).border.Weight = LineWeight ' change the line weight to for example 3
.SeriesCollection(2).MarkerSize = MarkerWeight ' Change the marker weight, for example 4
.SeriesCollection(2).MarkerBackgroundColor = vbblue ' Change the marker color,
.SeriesCollection(2).axisgroup = 2 ' put this series on the secondary axis
end with
SeriesColection(1) is line with markers. This is correct.But now I want the seriescollection(2) without line, so only the markers. I cheched the MSDN site from Microsoft. The Excel trick with the macro does not work for me.how to hide the line with VBA for only SeriesCollection(2) in Access?
Hi guys
I have a form with a large amount of subforms on it.
The problem I am having is that I cannot tab between subforms when entering data.
The cursor just moves within the subform and browses off of the current record (Creates a new record, like when scrolling the mousewheel).
Anyone know how I can set it up so that I can tab betweek all subforms across the entire form and not create a new record?
In addition, I know access 2000/97 users had to use custom code to disable the mousewheel, but I read something somewhere saying that you can disable it in Access 2003 without using code? How do I do this?
Thanks,
Toby
Hi Guys & Gals,
I have 2 main forms for my database, both with multiple page tabs (I will call them pages to avoid confusion with tabs) and subforms.
I can set the tab order for the various pages to go through the fields and jump to the subform ok. 2 small problems I haven't been able to sort out are:
1) Once I have tabbed into a subform, in datasheet view, the tab takes me through the fields and then to a new record when it reaches the end. I can't tab out of the subform back to the page I came from and onto the next object.
2) When I tab from the last control on a page I want the focus to go to the first control on the next page of the form but what actualy happens is the next record is opened.
Neither of these are a big deal but it means using the mouse when I would rather navigate with a quick click. If I cannot set the tab order to get what I want for item 2, is it possible to put a control button on the page with some code behind it to move me to another page of the form in the same record?
Many thanks in advance.
Regards,
Keith.
I am trying to setup 3 text boxes to autotab once the required input has been put in.
I have in the table assigned each field the max number that can be inputted, which is 3, 4 and 5. Now when inputting it stops and you have to manually tab to get it to move over which is fine and good...but who I am designing this for wants it to tab. I could use input mask but it uses place holders which I dislike greatly.
I am looking how to do this in code, I am not sure which commands to call up. Right now I have this:
Private Sub Branch_Change()
If Branch.length = 3 Then
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdTabOrder
End If
I am still learning my code, so laugh at will :) cause I am sure none of that is right. Thanks.
I have a form with two subForms (A and B)
Each of the subForms has three fields on it. (1,2, and 3)
The problem with the way tabbing works is that it keeps the tabbing within a subForm.
If you go to this form and hit the tab button you cycle through the first subForm
A1 -> A2 -> A3 -> A1 -> A2 etc
Is there any way to have the tab effect from field A3 go to B1
I hope this is clear
Thanks
Is there any way to change the order that the tab button cycles through the different fields in a form? Right now mine jumps ALL over the place and in some case even misses a field.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have search the forum and have found many solutions to this same problem but so far none have worked for me. I am fairly new to Access so maybe I am just not understanding properly.
I have a form with a main form and many subforms. All subforms but one are continuous and the other is a single form that does not allow additions.
1. I can tab from the main form to the first subform but can’t get the next subform.
I have tried this on the exit of the first combo box in the subform
Private Sub EventInitialActionTaken_Exit(Cancel As Integer)
If IsNull(Me.EventInitialActionTaken) Then
Me.Parent.[frmeventFsubform].SetFocus
End If
End Sub
This works until I open a new record from one of the subforms and then I get an error.
2.Then, my last subform is the single form with no additions and I want it to tab to a command button on the main form. Right now it just goes in circles throughout the sub form
3.Also, if I ask to start a new record while my cursor is in one of the subforms, the new record will open with my cursor in that subform field. How do I get it to default to the first field in the main form? I tried Me.EventID.Setfocus on the On Load Event of the main form but this didn’t work.
I think that if I get the answer to question 3 then the code I previously used in question 1 might work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Hello all,
A quick search yielded no results, so here goes. What is the easiest way to automatically tab to the next field once a user has entered the maximum number of digits in the current field?
For example, I have a form with the 3-digit area code in one field, followed by the 7-digit phone number (this was set up originally by someone else, I don't know why the area code and phone number are split up). Since these fields will always be the same length, what I'm wanting to do is automatically set focus to the next field once the user has entered 3 numbers in the area code field, without their having to hit the 'Tab' key. Any thoughts?
Thanks 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 combobox where users can select classes. In the AfterUpdate event for that combobox I have the following code:
Me.ClassCode = DLookup("[ClassCode]", "Classes", "[ClassID] = " & Me.ClassID.Column(0))
I want to populate the Class Code field based on the class they select. The code works fine except that the Class Code field does not update until after I tab past it. There is a field in between Classes and Class Code so I have to tab 3 times before the textbox populates. I expected the textbox to populate immediately after I selected the class. I also tried putting the code in the On Click event of the combobox but that didn't work either.
If I just keep clicking on different classes I'd like the class code to change each time without having to tab to another field. Is that possible? What am I doing wrong?

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.
Hi,
I have a form with a number of fields and buttons on it. The form is opened in "add new record" mode. I have noticed that when I move from the last field in the tab order to the first field in the tab order it saves an entry in the database.
This is causing me problems because when users move from the last field in the tab order to the field in the tab order an entry is saved to the database but it by passes all the data checks ensuring that certain fields have been filled-in etc.
I don't know why the movement between these two fields is causing an entry to be saved. I don't have code associated with either of these objects. I aslo changed the last field in the tab order to a different field and it still happens.
Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I have searched this site and tried several things over the last 3 days and am getting frustrated. All of my forms are built from existing tables.
I have a main form (frmevent) with the primary key being EventID. I have many "continuous" subforms e.g. event type, initial action taken, initial outcome that the user can enter more then one record.
My Event Type continuous subform has a cascading combo box. One combo box displays the Event Category and the other combo box displays the Event Types. I have the cascading combo working so that when the category is selected on those types that apply to it show up.
If the user tabs to the next record and doesn't enter anything in it I want it to tab to the next sub form.
I tried (please note that EventInitialActionTaken is the first field in the form)
Private Sub EventInitialActionTaken_LostFocus()
If IsNull(Me.EventInitialActionTaken) Then
Me.Parent.[frmeventFsubform].SetFocus
End If
End Sub
I am getting a run-time error on the form '2452' The expression you entered has an invalid reference to the Parent property.
What does this mean and can anyone help.
Thank you in advance.
hello,
I have a main form with one child form. This child form also has a child form. This last child form has two tab controls it. When I tab through fields on the form, I have to reposition the form so that I can see these last fields. Otherwise I have to tab blindly through them. How do I get the form display the fields as I tab to them ? I have to design the forms on the larger size because the users like that. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
thanks !
Is there a way in data access pages to have where the user tabs to a numeric field in an existing record, that it highlights the data? Or....... is there a way to have currency values null instead of $0.00 in an existing record on a data access page?
The problem I'm having is: For my data access page, the user queries to pull up an appointment. The user then enters various amounts in different fields. I have the tab order set up ok, but when they tab to a field to add an amount collected, it tabs to the end of the $0.00 which makes the user have to backspace 3 times to enter data, or highlight and delete and then enter data....... All of this, of course, is time consuming.
These values are null, but show as 0 in my data access pages.
How can I get these to remain blank, or how can I get it to highlight the data in each field on tab?
Thanks in advance.
I have a form with a tab control on it. The input for respective fields are placed inside the tab control, and I have the "Confirm" button placed outside, on the main form. Now I wanted to be able to navigate my focus from a control from inside to tab control, out to the Confirm button on the form, to allow smooth flowing data entry.
However, it seems like Access separates the tab indexes for the controls in the tab control and outside on the main form, so setting tab index does not work. I tried using the code ON LOST FOCUS and SET FOCUS;
Private Sub txtPurchaseNote_LostFocus()
Forms![frm Imported]![cmdConfirmPurchase].SetFocus
End Sub
But then a dialog box appears:
Run-time error '2110'
Microsoft access can't move focus to the control cmdConfirmPurchase
(cmdConfirmPurchase is a button control)
