Tabs, Moving Controls

Oct 28, 2005

I have a form that is growing with too many controls, so I want to
make a tabbed form and select and drag controls onto their own
tabs to make things more organized.
BUT, as I do the copy and paste thing, it doesn't copy the command
behind the buttons?

So far it looks like I'd have to recreate each control button directly
on the tab pages themselves?

Thanks in advance,
G2

Forms :: Hiding And Moving Controls

Nov 6, 2013

I have created a form with some boxes on it which include in their body textboxes and labels and combos. I would like to know if it is possible (or if a control exist) to group this items which are inside the box and with a simple box.visible = false to make them all non visible without tagging them or adding code with their names statically to make them non visible. Any link that shows how to move controls in the form in runtime?

I would like to hide some controls and make smaller the form and if user selects a checkbox to show these controls that exist inside a box and grow the form.

Moving Controls In Design View?

Apr 24, 2014

I have a label and a text box that are apparently "linked" (I move one, and the other moves). For the moment, I want to move them independently so...

1) how do I "unlink?"

2) how do I "re-link?"

Forms :: Moving Controls In Design View

Jul 19, 2013

I created a form through the form wizard in access 2007 and based it off fields in a table. the form is done but if I want to move the controls in the design view... I dont have the ability to move just one. I can either move all of them or none of them. Is there a way to change that?

Forms :: Navigation Forms - Moving Between Tabs

Aug 21, 2013

I have set up my main data entry form as a navigation form with 5 tabs/pages. The first three all contain fields from my main data table, the other 2 tabs/pages have fields from related tables.

Ok, so my question is: is if there is a way to go from tab/page 1 through the other 4 in succession with the main primary key (in this case an object ID number) automatically populated through. As it is now, when I start a new record for an object on tab/page 1, and then go to the next tab/page, it registers a new record has been created (at the bottom of the form it updates the total amount of records entered), but I have to manually enter in the ID field at the top the object ID number that I am entering info for. Otherwise it is still showing the details associated with the last record I was in the form updating.

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?

Problem With Using Tabs

Apr 22, 2006

Hi - Could anyone please help me.
I have got a form on which I am using tabs. For some reason, when that form is opened, it is not showing the full number of records from the table. It is only opening in Add mode. If I then start to enter multiple records the navigation buttons at the bottom of the screen will show me how many records I have entered and you can use the navigation buttons to switch between them, however, if I think close the form and re-open it, it goes back to showing no records.

I have tried opening it in Add mode and in Show All mode, but neither is working.

The Cycle property is showing "all records" and the data is definately being stored in teh Source table.

Any help will be gratefully received.

Of Tabs And Checkboxes

Mar 15, 2008

Let me just start off by saying, I don't have any code to post as it is just an idea I have.

This is a Lease return project for work. We have an excel sheet that is broken up into tabs. Master List, Not Returned and then a tab for every month.

Here is what I would like to do.
If someone checks the box that says the leased computer was not returned, can I grab a certain batch of fields to automatically populate another Tab in this Access 2003 Form?

The second part to this would be if a person unchecks "Not Returned" in the Not Returned Tab, can I get that record automatically removed from that list view?

Similar principle for the Monthly shipping by a certain date. If the user enters in a shipped Date by say March 1, is there any way to populate a another tab into a list view?

Thanks for any advice that you gentlemen and ladies can provide.

Adding Tabs

Sep 14, 2005

i have a database that stores contractors/owners & the 4 types of city permits we will be issuing.
i have created a form w/the wizard which contains all the info that i need the users to enter, however all info will not always be necessary. i would like to create a main tab with general permit information for users to enter (this is always necessary), and then 4 other tabs for which specifics may be entered dependng on which permit we will be issuing (at least 1, but up to 4 of these will be necessary). I would like 5 tabs...1 for main info, and the other 4 for specifics. i tried doing this manually in design view but for some reason i am unable to enter any data. :confused: does anyone know of a quick way to separate the fields that already exist on the form created by the wizard onto separate tabs??? thanx in advance! :)

Colored Tabs!

Feb 22, 2006

Here's (http://www.lebans.com/tabcolors.htm) a dynamite site with an A97 dowload with code for "colored tabs" which I stumbled onto. I converted the A97 code to A2K and it ran.

Many of you will be able to put this to good use.:)

Two Rows Of Tabs

May 9, 2006

I would like to create a form with a double layered tab format that has the look and feel of the MS Access Options form under Tools.

What code or technique is required to make this work? For example, how do I make sure when the user selects the front row or back row of tabs that only this form is displayed.

I hope this is clear.

Why Does My Form Open With Out My Tabs?

Feb 7, 2006

I have a tab controled form and when it opens in form view the tabs are to high to be seen on the page and you have to use the scroll bars to have access to them.

What in the world am I doing wrong. I cannot get this to open correctly and my form fits just fine on one screen in design view.

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.

Jumping Form Using Tabs

Mar 1, 2005

I have a long form that has a tab control at the bottom of it. You have to scroll down to get to the tab section. After I scroll down, when I click on one of the tabs the form jumps up. It doesn't jump up to the beginning of the form but somewhere near the beginning. I've checked everything that I could think of but nothing helps this situation.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Can't Print Form With Tabs

Aug 15, 2005

I've been sent a form which retrieves company information divided into 4 tabbed sections. Really need to print all this off but can't even print the tab which is showing - it only prints the part of the firm outside the tabbed area (company name and number)

Would be really grateful for an idiot's guide on how to do this! Reluctant to provide a link as it's confidential information.

Tabs With Related Tables

Aug 16, 2005

Hi,

I have a database with a couple of tables. All of which have a 1:1 relationship to another table, patient:
- patient (id (auto_increment), name, address, etc)
- nutrition (patient_id, some, stuff, etc)
- sleep (patient_id, foo, bar)

The patient_id in nutrition and sleep is a primary key and corresponds with the id of a patient (my 1:1 relationships)

I have a couple of forms. One for each table actually. In this form the user should be able to add/modify a patient's data. These forms are not to be used by themselves.

I have another form(the main form), which has a tab-control element on it. There are 3 tabs on this and on these tabs the 3 different forms are displayed.

Now for the problem:
- when I add a new record to the database using the main form, there is no problem when adding a new patient. Woohoo! When I switch to another tab, , however, the problems start: I can enter new information, but when I leave the tab I get an error: "Index or Primary key cannot contain a null value." Blech.

I want Access to realise that it should use the id that is given to the patient in the first tab, but it seems it cannot get it automatically. (I am not sure, but I think the problem didn't occur at first, so I think I may have done something which is causing this problem.)

Any help here is appreciated.


PS I was unable to find any posts on this forum that can help me with this. The closest I could find was: http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=39933

Opening A Form With Tabs, To A Specified Tab.

Feb 3, 2006

I have a survey DB with many forms, several of these have tabs. If for some reason there was a cutoff in the survey I save the form name and question name (which is always the first Ques on any form, or the tabctl value) into FormSE and QueS, respectively, so I can return directly to that spot later on. On the forms without tabs I use the following code to open the forms:

stDocName = FormSE
stLinkCriteria = "[RespID]=" & RID 'Respondent ID
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria

However, for those forms with tabs of course the form opens on the first page always. The tabctl0.value was saved into a variable called QueS, similar to the FormSE variable in the above code, which houses the form name.

How can I open the tabbed forms to the correct page (or tab)?
