Access 2007: Split Forms with Subforms

Megalog

Hello all! This is my first posting here, although I've been lurking here for months and getting lots of help & tips from the past posts here.

I'm in the process of updating our company's Access 2003 database to 2007, and while we're finding some of the new perks to be neat, I'm having a problem getting some of them to behave as we've envisioned. For starters, we're using the new Split Form feature. When the split form datasheet shows up at the bottom of the form, it's enabled to expand linked data from another subform/subdatasheet that's on the main form (most of our forms have a tab control with multiple tabs, each usually containing list boxes or subforms).

My question is:
a) is it possible to enable/disable that expansion option alltogether, only showing the data relevant to the main form, and

b) in the case when we want to use it, and we have multiple subforms on a main form, how do we select -which- subform is shown on the split form datasheet? It appears to only show one linked datasheet, and it's rarely the one we would want.

Thanks for your time guys, hope this was stated as clearly as possible.

-Lee

Hello, I like the split forms in access 2007, because you can still do the header, and any tool buttons, yet have the datasheet look without the need for 2 forms (main form / subform). However, if you add a button for "New Record", and try to set focus to the first field, it will set the focus to the top detail of the split form (even if you have this hidden with the splitter bar). Does anyone know how to get the focus to go to the...

I posted this before, but no response. Hopefully the MVP folks will know the answer. I'm not sure how other's are using the new split form, but what I like about it is I can design the header part of the form with buttons, graphics, etc., then use the lower half as a datasheet. I move the splitter bar to completely hide the detail of the record, and only show the datasheet. This is nice, because I don't have to have a main form for the...

This is probably simple but: when using tabbed forms in A2007, is there a simple way to prevent the user from right-clicking on a form tab and choosing "Design View" other than disabling default shortcut menus?

I've been hunting for a while. Since they've removed the show in taskbar option after 2003 I figure the quick way is out, but, surely there is still a VBA method of getting it done. I've done searches on a few forums, asked some experts, and browsed microsofts database. Anyone here have any ideas?

In Access 2007 I have encountered instances where Me.Filter = "... " fails to operate for a split form. Using a reference set to the form object e.g. frmObj.Filter = "...." also fails to operate. (In both these cases .Filter = " ... " is followed by .FilterOn = True. and in both cases a debug statement shows that the Filter and FilterOn have been updated as entered. However, using Forms!!.form.Filter = ".." works. I am already using...

Overview: 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,...
