Hi,
i have a form linked to a table.
Because it is a very large form, i placed a tab control in it with
sub-forms, that correspond to the same table. If i link them with the
primary key (autonumber) i get an error on data entry. If i use other
fields, they are not unique and the date entered is not stored.
how can i solve my problem, so that everything is displayed well and all
entries are stored?
regards, Oli

What is the point of using subforms? Why not use the tab control (as you
have done) to split up the data so the user is not overwhelmed by a vast
numbers of controls, but you can do this without subforms.
I can think of a possible reason you might want subforms, but any advantage
is outweighed by the complications it would cause - e.g. you lose the
ability to use built-in search/sort/filter methods.
Break up the fields from your table in logical groups and put each group on
its own tab page. You don't need subforms.

I have a form set up for entering information about projects and that

When I enter a new record and assign people to a project everything is
fine. Then when I change the id of the record (project id) and save,
the subform goes blank and people are still...

Hi,
I have two very similar forms each with a subform. The main form gets
a few fields from the user and passes this back to a query that the
subform is bound to. The requery is done when the user enters the
last qualifying field on the main form.
In one case this works fine, the subform shows the data the user wants
to update -- which means showing all the data put in previously (ie
showing this via the requery and the continuous...

Hi Folks,
I have 3 forms I want to link, so that when I advance 1 record in one
form it will update the other two with the same record in the first
form.
I have tried using the form wizard (I am not an Access pro), but when I
add the fields of 3 tables the wizard balks. I have been told to use
the link master, but it is greyed out when I try linking.
I can use Access 2000 or 2003

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

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,...
