Tabbing Between A Main Form And A Subform

8 New Member
Hello,

I've constructed a form that contains a subform in Access 2003. I want to be able to set the tab order to tab through the fields of the main forms then tab through the fieldw of the subform and then back to the main form. However, the subform tabs wont move beyond the subform once the cursor reaches the subform. Is there anyway to alter this?

Hi there, I have been frustrated by the 'next record' problem when a user tabs off the last control on a form. I have tried a couple of the suggestions listed on the newsgroup, but so far nothing has solved the problem in relation to my database. I have 3 subforms on the form and serveral other controls (such as buttons). When the final subform receives focus (a one-to-many style

I have a bound form and subform and am trying to enter the data in both forms programatically. The Linkmaster and Linkchild properties are set. My intent is to be able to look at the data before it is saved and then choose to save it or undo it. I have a Save button that just closes the form and a Cancel button that does an undo and then closes the form. I first enter data into the main form and then enter code into the subform. After the...

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...

I don't do much with subforms - in fact I've deliberately avoided them - but .... I have a tab control that will contain several subforms, each bound to a separate table, and each table/subform will relate to the same person - but the subform data will not be 'linked' to the main form. I want to have one Cancel button for all the undo operations on all the subforms, so the individul subform's Public Sub, Form_Cancel will be called...

There have been threads in this newsgroup explaining how to tab out of a subform to the parent form -- without having to use ctrl-tab (of which users might be unaware -- and at any rate, they shouldn't have to know that part of a form is a "subform"). I use a common subform among two main forms, so those solutions won't work -- because the "next control" depends on who the parent is. And even if I write fancy code to detect which...
