Tab from the main form, form header to the subform, form header in Access 2003

1 New Member
Hello:

I am fairly new to Access and was wondering if someone could help me out. I have a main form with header. In the detail section of the main form, there is a subform. The subform has a header and a detail section. I am not able to tab from the last record in the main form's header to the header of the subform. Also, I am not able to tab from the subform's header, to the subform detail section.

I have set the tab order for each individual section (the main form's header, the subform's header, and the subform detail), but can not get the tab to move from one section to the next.

Thanks for your help!

I have a form (Prospect) with a subform (Document). The result I am looking for is this: The user selects a prospect which is made up of Prospect Name, Country, Company and Prospect Type. They can then use the subform to add records into the database with the above information already there. At the moment I have four combo boxes in the Prospect part of the form.

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...

Hello, I have been struggling with this for a while. I am working on a rather simple database for claims in Access 2003. I have a table called claims that has a primary key field called Claim #. It is linked to a table called parts. The idea is that a claim can be filed for multiple damaged parts. In other words a claim # could have 0 to several damaged parts. My problem lies with the form that I have created. It is a main form with a...
