Using DAO For Form Navigation
Sep 5, 2006
Hi guys, I am new here in this Forum and in Access as well. I am wanting to use recordset on a form and two buttons that I want to program manually for navigation of Records. How can it me made possible keeping my code professional. I have tried to declare the Recordset as Public and it works but I have error if I use .movenext when the recordset moves to last one. Is this right approach to use recordsets as Public.
TO avoid this If I use While .eof My purpose does not get solve because I wanna navigate with clicks but if I use 'IF recordset.eof Then' , strangely enough my record count gives me the value 1. SO I am kind of stuck. Please Advice me that is this a good approach to use this programming way to navigate through recordset OR it is better to stick with standard given controls like subforms etc. I just find those controls limited or cumbersome.

I'm working on the Navigation Form template in Access 2010, which is new to me. It appears that one needs to use the BrowseTo command to open up a form in the built-in subform module. I'm trying to create a couple of buttons where each button opens a form in a different data mode; one in read-only and one in add mode. Here is the syntax I used for read-only:
DoCmd.BrowseTo acBrowseToForm, "frmSales","frmNavigation.NavigationSubform", , ,acFormReadOnly
frmSales is the Sales form I want both of the buttons to open and frmNavigation is the Navigation form. It seems to be ignoring the data mode part at the end however. It only will open in Edit mode. Is there something I'm doing wrong with this command?

I would like to know if it's possible to open an specific subform inside a navigation form using an event.
I also need to to this using macros ( really can't use vba in this project =/)
Form example:
the main form has "nav_opt1", "nav_opt2", "nav_opt3"
By double clicking a record in "nav_opt1", it will open "nav_opt2" with some filters (but all in the same window), as if I was just browsing through the navigation forms usually.

I have created a master form, which is a tab style. I have five additional forms that I want to use as sub-forms within each tab. I also want to include master navigation buttons that will work for each sub-form in unison. In other words if I navigate to record 10 on tab 1 and switch to tab 2, I want the new tab to show the information related to record 10. It would appear that I need to link them together in some fashion.

So I have made all the necessary forms to start working with my Access, and now I need a main form, a home where I should put all the buttons to enter each form.I have used the Navigation Control on a New form URL...
A row with buttons appeared, and I complete the property: Navigation Target Name with the target form, but it is giving me some trouble with a searchForm and a Query. Every time I enter this form (using nav control), Query asks for an Input.

I have used one of the members' code which was posted in a tread before to create a search box in a form. This code works perfectly when the form itself is open. Otherwise, when I put this searching form along with other forms in one navigation form, I get the following error: "Enter Parameter Value: Forms!FRM_SearchMulti!SrchText"...The code that was used for the Search box is as following:
Private Sub SearchFor_Change()
'Create a string (text) variable
Dim vSearchString As String
'Populate the string variable with the text entered in the Text Box SearchFor
vSearchString = SearchFor.Text
[code]....

I have discovered that I am a member of this forum. My last question is years ago. I haven't made much progress. However, I am using a msaccess db for subscription management of a magazine.
I have designed the db from scratch and it does its job to some degree. It is very unelegant, as I have to do much myself that I wish the db would do for me.
I have created a form for the table 'invoices'. I would like to be able to double click on the 'customer id' belonging to a certain invoice, with the result that the form belonging to the table 'subscribers' opens at that same subscriber the customer id belongs to.
I have created a macro that opens the form 'subscribers', but how do I tell it to open that certain subscriber.
I have taught myself access, and always found in the helpfile an answer which led further. Not in this case. I imagine this is a very simple, often used procedure.
I have a similar issue when writing invoices. On the form 'subscribers' there is a button that opens another form 'new invoice'. I would like it to display automatically the subscriber from where I opened the form 'new invoice'. At the moment I have to enter the user id again manually.
Do you know what I mean? Is there an easy answer to this question. Where could I find information about this kind of linking forms together?

Hi,
Just a quick question. I have a form of records, frm2, that gets opened via another form, frm1. Dependent on the content of frm1, frm2 is opened with a certain filter that shows only one record. I need to have it this way as there is too much data to show on just one form.
Frm2 does filter correctly to show only one record, and I've stripped away the navigation buttons, however, if you roll the mouse wheel it jumps to a new blank record. How do I disable this, so that the client can only see the one record and cannot navigate to the new blank record?
Thanks,
igkuk7

I have a main form with two subforms. One of the subforms in turn has three subforms.
It is a music database. The main form has title information, one subform has the group/artist. The other subform has song information (side, track, title running time) and subforms for performer, composer and conductor.
I am at a loss as to how to efficently navigate back and forth. All of the subforms (except song titles) are datasheet view using combo boxes. For lack of a better way there is a "Done" button after each row. Click the Done button moves the user to the next form.
I have custom Navigation buttons for the main form. The form works fine, it is just a pain to navigate.
I have other issues with it but this is enough for now. I started writing the database in Access 2000 and it is now being used with Access 2003. Any suggestions would be most appreciated!

After a refresh of the sub form, I want to go back to the last record edited. This might be a record not fitting on the top of the screen, let's say record no. 2000.
After the refresh the sub form shows the first records, and you need to scroll down.
How to solve this?

I'm trying to create a form without the standard navigation arrows on the bottom of the form. Is it possible to hide these? I want to use my own navigation buttons instead as they will be more intuitive to non tech users.
appreciate it

I have created a three part form that accesses and displays info from 3 different tables. The top of the form displays a position. Under that is a listbox displaying employees that have held that position currently and in the past. When a user clicks on an employee in the listbox, it fills in the bottom part of the form which is the employee-position. To assign an employee to a position, the bottom portion of the form is filled in.
The problem is that the standard form navigation controls don't resynch the listbox and the employee-postion portions of the form. I've tried putting code in the change event of the position code text box and in various events on the form. None of these events are hit when the navigation control is used. I could use a control button and hard code it, but then this form would look different than other forms in this application. I've tried using subforms, but the subform within a subform just didn't look right. Any ideas?
The navigation control must fire off some event that is accessible. Thanks for any help.

Hello all,
I am in dire need of Access expertise. Basically, I have a form with many customer records. What I want to accomplish is to have a text box at the bottom of the form whereby I can type in a client's name which would change the record on the form to display that clients information. It would be nice if what I type into the text box doesn't have to match a clients name exactly (maybe use some sort of wildcard?). I have but a clue how to acheive this. Any suggestions would be sincerely appreciated.

Recently I created a form for a table. I then added a field to that table, and thus, added that field to the appropriate form. The only problem is, if a user is tabbing his way through the form, the item I just added, which happens to be MiddleInitial Field, is always selected last, even though its the second item on the form. Is there a way to reassign navigation order, without creating the form all over again??

Today it seems that changes I am making to a form within a Navigation form are disappearing.
If I make the same changes to the underlying/original form, they are also disappearing.

I have inherited maintenance of an Access DB that I did not design and I'm having trouble with their Navigation Form setup. I created a form with a list box and two date fields, and figured out how to build a filter for the form that would open a specified report on a button click. It worked great as a stand-alone form, but when I added it to a navigation control in a navigation form I can't seem to find the right path to tell the VBA where to look for the filter criteria.
In the screen shot, the report to be displayed is in the detail of the "Report Center" tab on the far right of the navigation form "Main." the form "FilterSelection" is inserted in the "NavigationControl0" section under the navigation tabs. Criteria is selected/entered in "FilterSelection" and needs to be passed to the filter of the report that is opened when the "Project Tasks" navigation button is pressed. As I mentioned, when I created the form I put a button on it to open the form with the filter (built via SQL in VBA) it worked beautifully. But now that it's on the "NavigationControl0" object Access errors and can't find the fields where the data has been selected/entered.

I have a bunch of forms which have a split form layout, datasheet area to the bottom of the forms. I'm wanting to group all these split forms onto a "Navigation" form but when I click the tab for each form to be displayed in the subform area the datasheet split is now missing and all I get is a "Single" form view of what is a split form. How can I get these split forms to view properly in the subform area of the navigation form, I guess there's a property setting but I can't see it?

Hi,
Is there a way to totally remove the navigation button bar? Even though setting form navigation buttons to "No" removes the buttons, the "bar that held the buttons" remains in it's default gray colour. I'm trying to make a subform blend in with the main form but this is posing to be a problem because of the old remains of the navigation "bar" (See attached image to see what I mean).
TIA.

I have a Navigation form that has multiple forms that I linked to buttons at the top. They open the forms (now subforms) for the most part just fine. The issues come into play when I click on a combobox that pulls from a query of a table. Once this data is selected I have another combo box that is supposed to be filtered based off of the original combo box selection. Everything works on the original forms but once they are in subform form I get the error "Forms!MGM Search Form!STATE" which is the name of one of the forms and its asking for me to enter a parameter value for the query. Its almost like its not requerrying the data like it does in the original form
Private Sub State_AfterUpdate()
me.Facility.Requery
End Sub
basically the first combo box is a list of states and then the second combo box is a list of facilities in that state. Once you click on the state in the first combo box it filters the facilities in that state. But again once in the subform view it will not requery.

I'm attempting to create my first split database and I'm failing. Here is what I did in the exact steps.
1 - Created a database with one table and 11 forms (database is on my desktop).
2 - I created a split database and saved the back end on our company network.
3 - The front end is on my desktop(works fine)
4 - I put a copy of the front end on the company network (near the same location as the back end)
When I tried to open the front end from another persons computer who has access to the location i saved the back end and front end db's . It open fine, but my navigation form will not open the other forms. I get a blank sheet.

Private intLogonAttempts As Integer
Private Sub Emp_Exit_Click()
DoCmd.Quit
End Sub
Private Sub EmpLogin_Click()
[Code] ....
I am getting an run time error '2467': "The Expression you entered refers to an object that is closed or doesn't exist"...

I have a form with a bottom that has a macro that uses applyfilter to filter the current form based on what is within a textbox located on the form.
I used the macobuilder and have my where condition as
[num] Like "*" & [Forms]![frm_Main]![Text181] & "*" Or [name] Like "*" & [Forms]![frm_Main]![Text181] & "*"
This works when I open the form by itself but when I try adding the form to a navigation form I get prompted to put in "num" and "[Forms]![frm_Main]![Text181] " etc. when I click the bottom.

I have decided to move away from Switchboard in Access 2010, to what I find to be more user-friendly; the Navigation Forms.
However, when I attempt to export any of the data from my navigation forms, the result is a blank Excel sheet. I can easily go into the forms themselves on the left navigation panel and export from there, but when myself or a user attempts to do this from the navigation forms themselves; well, the blank Excel sheet is the result.
How do you create a work-around, so that it is possible to export to Excel from these navigation forms?
I am fairly new to Access 2010.
