In the process of polishing up my (last) beta application; I have been
exploring all the possible ways of speeding up my forms. I realized that
numerous a forms under various application modules/suites lots of the
same navigation buttons.
I thought of creating a macro to handle all this, and just reference the
macro, etc, in order to reduce the amount of forms coding/duplication
from form to form. However, I have no idea of where macros are going in
future
versions of MS Access. I thought about using a single VBA/module, or
different modules, for handling each of the commands.
I since used code for a module containing all the navigation commands to
be referenced from the different forms that I use with my own navigation
buttons.
This works as along as the navigation button is located on the main form
with the following code in the, "On Click" for the e.g., Previous
button:
=navtoPrevious([activecontrol].[parent])
If I want to place the same code on a sub form it does not work. Since
this only seems to works on main (parent) forms, I have also tried the
following, also without success:
Retval= navtoPrefious(M e),
and,
Call navtoPrevious(M e),
and, finally,
navtoPrevious Me
None of these options seem to work. So, I'm back to square one in
getting all this to work. Has it ever been done before? Are ther any
models, articles, ideas, or code samples out there to study/use?
Thanks,
John
