OnActivation events and subforms in main form.

Hi,
I have a (newbie)problem with a macro activated in a subform.

That's the hierarchy in my form:
Main form
----subform1
----subform2
----subform3

I have a macro that is called on OnActivate in subform1 and that macro
find a record in subform3. It work well when the forms are all loaded
but when I open Mainform the first time, it says that the item I
use(combobox) to do my search doesn't exist. My guess is that the
OnActivate Macro is called before subform3 has finish loading. I need
the subforms to update themselves when I change the record in
subform1.

Is there a ms-access god that can help me ?

Thanks
Olivier

The mainform has 2 subforms that must be visible and side-by-side:

Hi all, I searched the archives and found everyone happy with Stephen's MouseWheel On/Off code except for those with subforms.

I have a popup "Tools" form with a tab control that has a different subform on each tab. The problem is that new tabs/subforms continue to be added as users request new features - so the code on each subform's Form_Open/Load/Current event fires whenever the popup form is opened, making the popup form slow to open and causing problems when a function in one subform is dependent on data or events in another subform (on a different tab). ...

A while back I got a requirement for the client to be able to adjust the relative heights of two subforms by click-dragging the mouse and I came up with a kludge solution using a border control between the two subforms. But I put my mind to this again recently and came up with a solution (code below) that works well with multiple subforms to size both the heights and widths of the sunforms relative to each other, and it uses no additional...

My question is, how can I prevent Access from auto-saving changed or entered data on both the main form and any subform? The main goal is to force the user to use the 'Save' button to save any data.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
