I had 2 forms before, so I decided to make it easier and joined them together using tabbs, first tab is student info, the second is student cources. Since student cources relate to student info I have made it as a subform of student info. But the problem is that when I click on student info tab or student cources tab , the view scrolls down, and it gets frustrating. Is there any way to stop it from scrolling down.
View RepliesI have a form with a 'tab control' on it
Tabs 2-9 have a subform on them
Each form/subform writes to a seperate table
The form is the main table
When a record is created with by the form an autonumber Id is generated
I want to pass this ID to each of the subforms so that the tables can all link
Form-1 Table-1 AutonumberID
Subform-1 Table-2 AutonumberID from table-1 (can be new field in table)
Subform-2 Table-3 AutonumberID from table-1 (can be new field in table)
For all subforms and tables
I have a main form that has a Tab Control. The tab control could have 5 to 10 tabs. Each tab has a subform and in some instances a tab could have a tab inside that tab with subforms as well. I want to be able to get the subform names in each tab.
I am able to get the main form name by using me.form.name
How can i get the names of each subform in each tab?
I am creating a dynamic form and need to get the names into variables for later use...
I have an access form (Customer) along with a sub-form (Work_done). On sub-form I have Running sum of Amount in Text box-1. I want that Total of Running sum be replaced with Main form's tables field total_amount. Is it possible that we can replace an amount of control of sub-form into main form's field?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a database for a cub scout pack that just keeps scouts information, medical info, parents info, and parents medical info each is a seperate table. I have created a Tab controlled form with 4 tabs. On each tab the ONLY thing I have is a subform that contains the appropriate information. Each table has it's own form with the table as it's record source. I link the scouts table to the medical table by SID which is a primary key in the Scouts table. I link the Scouts table to the Parents table with a PID which is the Primary Key in my Parents table, and I link the Parents with the ParentsMed with a PMedID, key in the ParentsMed table.
Question #1 - Using a Tab Control you can only have 1 record source. What should I use? I have tried the tblScouts and I have also created a query with every field from every table.
#2 - When I try to use the parent and child links on the subform I get the error "Can't build a link between unbound forms" but each form is bound to the table and the record source on the tab control has had a table and my qryEverything, neither work. I can type in SID but it still doesn't function properly.
Any suggestions or comments on a better relationship method or any insight on how tab controls are supposed to be setup or anything would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot

I forum could someone tell me:
I have an unbound form on that form I want to put three sub forms one on a products table the other on a course start dates table and the link table that joins the other two together. all three are related to each other with Pk/FK links.
When I try to link them it says you cannot link items on an unbound form.
regards in advance

I added a new field to one of my tables and query, but when I try to add a control for that field into my form it is not recognising it and the field isn't appearing in the sources for the form, even though the table is sourced to the form? Or am I going to have to do the usual and redo the entire form because I made a minor adjustment?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a form with a tab control, inside the tab control I placed an ActiveX control (Microsoft Web Browser). These are at the bottom of the form.
Everything displays fine if the entire form fit on the screen but if the form is too long and I scroll down the browser control is getting obscured by the tab control and getting chopped off (the contents are covered). It is as if the browser control is staying in space where it was and moving behind the tab control as I scroll.
This problem does not occur if I place the browser control directly on the form. Also I note that the browser control is sitting correctly within the tab control.
I have been through all the settings and properties of both controls and haven't been able to fix it. I searched all over the web but no one has previously stumbled across this one by the look of it.
See the attached image ...
I have table that I had to add a new field to which we update with a form. I tried to add a control for the new field but the field does not show up in the list for the control source. I am trying to add a list box to the form with a blank and 5 options.
I have attached screen shots of the table design and the form. The table has the field in datasheet view and I have manually entered a few entries in it but it still will not show in the control source for the form control. The top section of the form is where we enter and select the data for the new records. The bottom section (circled in red) autofills the matching record, from separate tables, for updating with the new entries.
I have added form controls for modified fields in the past so I am confused about why this is happening.
OK. I have searched and searched and every thread dances around similar situations but none seem to address this particular one. I am trying to make a control on a sub form visible/not visible depending on the condition of a control on a main form. The catch is that the control I'm trying to change the state of is on a subform located in a tab control. I've tried a thousand combinations and none seem to work. How do I reference the control on the subform in a tab control?
Main Form: frmMemberMain
Tab Control: TabCtl12
Tab Control Page: 2
Subform: frmChildren
Control on subform: txtRelationship
Can someone please help before my brain explodes!! Thanks! :eek:
I have a form with 5 subforms in it.
I am using recordsets to step through a table that contains a field with the names of the subforms.
Depending on the code, I want to make visible or hide the subform for that particular record.
ie Table has 5 records with a field called subForm. the values are as follows:
Record1: Field1: Value="Yes" Field2: Value="subForm1"
Record2: Field1: Value="Yes" Field2: Value="subForm2"
Record3: Field1: Value="Yes" Field2: Value="subForm3"
Record4: Field1: Value="No" Field2: Value="subForm4"
Record5: Field1: Value="Yes" Field2: Value="subForm5"
When I step through the table if the code finds "No" in Field1 then id makes the subform referred to in Field2 invisible and if it finds a "Yes" it makes it visible.
Can anyone help me with this?
Does anyone know how to have a datasheet view in a subform fill the top of the main form?
I want to be able to see the records in a datasheet view and when the record in the datasheet view is selected it prefills the top of a form ?
This is a question from yesterday that a member had helped me out with.
I have additional questions while I am waiting for response from him. If anyone of you can help, I would really appreciate it.
1. How can I make a form that gathers information from multiple tables?
2. Lets say it is possible, how does this info get saved to these multiple tables when the user clicks on the next record button on the record navigator.
Thanks for the assistance!
is it possible to have more then 2 subforms?

Heya --
So if I haven't scared everyone away with the post's title, maybe someone out there can help me. I need it.
I have a many-to-many relationship with the following tables:
Companies
CompaniesProjects
Projects
I also have a query with the following:
CompaniesProjects.CompanyId
CompaniesProjects.ProjectId
Projects.*
Pretty straightforward. Now, I have a form to view Companies, inside of which is a subform listing Projects associated with the Company using the above query.
The issue that is stumping is that I would love to be able to add a new project from the subform. I thought it would be pretty easy, but I'm totally dry. I guess I need to grab the CompanyId from the parent form, and assign it to the new record before I can add any more data to the new record. But I have no idea how to do this, or even if it is the right thing to do.
Any help would be _greatly_ appreciated. I've been slamming my head against a wall with this for two weeks.

Hi,
I have 3 tables : Products, Description and ProductDescription. Products can have more then 1 description, Descriptions can be used by more then 1 product, that is why the third tabel ProductDescription exists (normalizing..:) ). The Productdescription table has 3 fields: id, productid, descriptionid.
I want a form in which you choose a product, then you see all the descriptions along with it. In this same form I want to be able to add a description, e.g. by pushing a button NEW. After that user enters description form etc. After returning to the mainform, a new record must be automatically added to the ProductDescription table and ofcourse a new record has been added to the Description table. I thought I would use subforms to realize this but it isn't working..:( . I have tried so many things that I dont know anymore what to do, i am totally confused. I know how to program in VB and ACCESS, but for now i don't see it anymore. Can someone please help me with this?
I just need to know how to start, what to use as subform and what as masterform, which links between fields, etc
nelleh:rolleyes:
Just a quicky.
I am trying to design a form with three subforms.
I keep getting tblXXX not in recordset.
Is there perhaps something wrong with my relationships?

Hello,
I hope someone could come up with a solution. I have a form and 2 subforms. The form contains the person id, address and phone number. The subform1 contains a list of skills that person has which is derived from a query. I have to be able to delete any of the skills that person has. I am not sure how to delete the skills but I know when I type a skill, it automatically adds (can grow = yes). In subform2, the skills that the person DOES NOT have are listed derived from another query again. We should be able to click on any of those skills so that it will be an addition in subform1. I do not know how to do this.
Thank you for anyone who comes up with the solutions.
I am designing a student registration system in MSAccess. It consists of tables such as Applicant,Courses,Department,Qualification,Employe r details..the applicant has to choose only 3 courses. i have already designed all the tables and relationships. I need to create an application form which allows the user to imput the personal, qualification and employment details of the applicant. i have used tabs for this part. now i have to create a form where the user input the 3 choices of the applicant. i have used a subform in my application form. my problem is how do i restrict the user to input only 3 courses and how do i link the subform with the main?how do i make sure that when i select 3 courses, it is linked to that specific applicant?
View 8 Replies View RelatedHi there.
I have a form with two sub forms on it. The form loads with a reference number that I pass to a function that in turn requeries the first sub form. The function call is in the on load event of the main form.
This part works fine.
The second sub form uses a similar requery function to the first one. The only difference is that the query for the second sub form is based on a reference number from the selected record in the first sub form.
If I put the function call for the second sub form in the on click of the first one all is well and the second sub form displays all records with a matching reference number.
The problem is that when the main form loads the first sub form will display the correct data but the second remains blank or displays the wrong data.
I know this is happening because the first sub form has not loaded fully and so the second sub form cannot get the reference number. I just can’t find a way to make the second sub form display the correct data when the main form loads.
I have tried calling the requery function for the second sub form from most of the events on the main form and many of the events on the first sub form but to no avail.
I also tried putting a meaningless sub form at the bottom of the main form and putting the requery function for the second sub form in the on load event but that was no good either. This surprised me as until that point I was assuming that access was loading the sub forms sequentially from top to bottom.
Can anyone tell me how I might determine the point at which the first sub form has been loaded so that I can get access to the reference numbers needed for the second sub form query. I would prefer not to use a timer for this as there is no way to determine the maximum time it will take access to load the rest of the data but at present it looks like the only option left.
Any comments would be much appreciated and sorry for the lengthy explanation.
Please help !
I have been struggling to create forms with these relationships(see attached file) . I would like to create a subform of the product list and the form must have Title TitleID and Artist and Artist ID ...these also need to populate the Product list table... oh how do I get around this ! What am I doing wrong
Hi, I have a main form with a subform inside it. The subform contains two records but only one is shown during form view, is there any way to show both records at the same time?
I am using continuous forms view for my subforms as i have to.
Hi guys
The question i am looking for help with is.....
i have a database with a form(form1) and a subform(sub1), when i query this it will only desplay information that has all boxes filled in. i want it so that if there is info in form 1 but no info in sub1 i will still display the info from form 1. At the moment it just ignores the whole thing and does not give certain records from form 1.
any ideas?
James
First I'm an average access user, but don't know much about VB. I've created a subform with a querydef that works fine standalone, but as soon as I move my subform onto my main form the the querydef no longer runs.
Am I missing something simple?
I have a main form with 4 subforms. The subforms a setup in columns kinda like excel. Eack subform is displaying data. What I want to do in compare the data in subform 2, 3, 4 to the data in subform 1 and if different using the conditional format change the color of the fields. How do I code a conditional format from subform to subform?
Jim
i have a main form, in which i have included 2 subforms on it. Now when i am at the last control on the main form, the focus moves to the first control of one of the subforms. However, when i am at the last control of this subform, on hitting the tab key, the focus does not move to the first control of the other subform.
How can i achieve this please?
Thank you!
