Hi!
I have a subform w/ an ID field that is linked the ID field in a parent form. In the tables for both, the ID field is a primary key. In the table that the main form reads from, the ID is an autonumber.
In my subform, I want the user to be able to tab thru the fields, but after the last field, the cursor should go back to the first field. What happens now, is if both are on ID = 24, when I keep tabbing, after the last field, my subform goes to a new record w/ ID = 0. It lets you enter new information, then says it can't save the record because it's a duplicate.
What am I missing?
Thanks!

What I do is add an unbound text box to the sub form, making the colour the same as the background and no borders so that it can't be seen by the user. Make sure this box is the last one to be tabbed to, and then, in the on_enter event of this box, set focus to the first field in your form. That way, the user never completes the sub form, and the record does not get automatically saved.

Hi,
Can you not set the form properties on the "other" tab to cycle current record only? Seems to work for me...

I haven't used Access in a while and I had totally forgotten where to find that (or if it even existed). Thank you so much!!
Open the form in design and choose form properties.
On the Other tab is the cycle property. Set this to Current Record and your problem should be solved.

Nice to learn something new. I did not know that option existed. (maybe it didn't in Access 2 and I never noticed the enhancement. Will save me messing around with tab boxes from now on, thanks)

Dear Group:
I have built and customized a form using the wizard to put command
buttons that will move to the NEXT record or PREVIOUS record. This
works, but it needs some refinement.
Presently, if I am on the first record and click the PREVIOUS record
button, I get some built in, generic Access message. And, if I am on
the last record from the table and I click the NEXT record button, I
am advanced to the *new* record row in the table.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
