Forms :: Position Of Columns In Table Below A Split Form
Dec 3, 2013
I've created several Split forms that have the data input fields in the form with the relevant query datasheet shown below. As you tab through the form fields, the various cells in the datasheet are highlighted and move across the data row (as one would expect!). I want to put a particular field / Column at the start of the datasheet so that it's always available for view, but it seeme that what ever I do the column ends up back at the very far end of the data row!
I've sussed out the "Freeze Fields" facility which will keep the first column visable whichever cell is highlighted across the data row.
The column I want as the first column currently sits at the far end of the data row. So far I have dragged the row to the first column position; I've arranged the Query driving the form so that the column is at the front of the row, both in design view and in datasheet view, but to no avail. Everything I do to put the column at the start of the row in the datasheet shown below the form ends up with it back at the far end of the row the next time I open the form.

I am pretty new to VBA and I am having the same problem of hiding and un-hiding columns on a datasheet of a split form. I am building a system that will be used in front of customer and therefore wish to hide columns that contain cost sensitive data. The same forms need to be able to show the Sales Rep the hidden columns simply by ticking a box. Basically a toggle on and off of hidden columns.
I have been playing around with the code below (which i found in another forum) to hide the Field called COO when I click the tick box called chkHIdeFields check box. This works on a Single form but not on a datasheet of a split form.
Private Sub chkHideFields_Click()
' Note: vbTrue = -1
If Me.chkHideFields = vbTrue Then
Me.COO.Visible = True
Else: Me.COO.Visible = False
End If
End Sub
I have been able to hide the column of my split form by using the ColumnHidden property of the On Load event just as a proof of concept that the ColumnHidden property actually works to hide a column, which it does. This is the code that im using to hide the column called COO.
Me.COO.ColumnHidden = True
However if I then set it to = False and then close and open the form, it doesn't unhide the column. the only way I can unhide the column is to do it from the Form view via the un-hide dialogue pop up box.
I have two issues here, the first one is getting the form to recognize when to hide and when to show the column of the datasheet on the split form and the second is to get the code to for the check box method.
Lastly once I get it working for 1 field I need to be able to define a list of 7 or 8 other fields all at the same time.

For some reason when I change the order around of the columns in a split form or subform 90% of the time it wont save (right click save, file save, etc..) and have to constantly redo it until it finally works. Am I missing something obvious as to why this is happening?

I have elected to have tables inserted into my forms. For example on the School Information form, I have the Employees table inserted at the bottom so that it will show the employees that are assigned to that school when it's pulled up.
Before I split my database into a BE/FE situation, I could expand the items in the tables to other related items, but now that option is gone.
Is there any way to get that back with a split database?

I have a form in datasheet view, with the record ID column frozen and users typically scroll to the right to see certain columns. Different users scroll to a different position.
I dont have the option to reduce the number of columns or create separate forms for different users, - they all need to see all the columns but typically a user scrolls horizontally to see a certain set of columns most of the time. I want to save that position for the next time they open the form.

On main form cursor working is goods as per default. But after come to in Subform its shown the cursor position in the last filed. So every new record is shown as the same last field. How to do this cursor position will be change in subform as per default?? and every new record its need to show as per default TabIndex "0".
I have checked my Tab Index & Order Settings also it is good. But its shown as last filed in subform
I have attached the Screen shot.

I have a column that's called "Date" which stores values for begining to end date as 'Text' like: 070314-073114 So I need to split it to 2 columns that has the Start Date as 070314 and End Date as 073114?
This database is still in Microsoft Access, and eventually after cleaning it up, we will move it to SQL Server.

I have been given the task of organising a mail-merge with a sharepoint list, but the names and emails attached to each object are seperated by a delimiter. Furthermore each person is associated with many objects, and they want the merge programmed to only send 1 email to each person.
So what I need to do is split the data in one column into three separate columns, and then perform a concatenate. The concatenate isn't an issue, but how to split the data into 3 new columns within Access?
If worst comes to worst I'll tell them they will have to use the text-to-columns function in excel first, but would like to try and avoid that where possible.

I am trying to split a number sequence (Ex. 25372-400-E10-0000-D0021) Where the third number in the sequence can be either 2 or 3 numbers/letters.
The idea is to have a query that will split this number into its individual parts. I have seen several forums about splitting two numbers and such but I can't seem to make that work when I need to create 5 columns from this one field.

When I right click a row on the data sheet side of a split form an select "New Record" I want the curser to go to the first field on the single record side. I've placed this in the OnCurrent but it did no good.
Code:
If Me.NewRecord Then
Me!Descrfiption.SetFocus.
End If
Any way to set the focus to the single form Side of a split form?

Basically I need to design form that looks very similar to either Split Form or Subform. I have attached a print screen of what I roughly need. The form is split into two parts. In the first/top part there are some List Box/Date fields that act as filters to the bottom form, so the bottom form displays only records that match values in red. The second part of the top form has some field that require input from user and then these records are added to the bottom form. I was trying to use both Split Form and Subform and none of it is working,I have attached an example of database and this form would be based on data from Query1.

Is it possible (haven't found a way yet) to have two "split subforms" on a parent form side-by-side? When I try the multiple rows portion of the split view I created as a subform doesn't appear?
Want to have a form when I have search/filter/select record for table 1 (on the left) and table 2 (on the right) with a means in between to create a relationship which has a few parameters.

I created a split form. My main form is just a form, based off of tblBlotter. The subform is based off a query, which is the based off the same tblBlotter. (Not sure if this is proper - maybe I just need the table?)
I have a link master and link child field set to ID. When I open the form "subBlotterHistory", it opens and shows as a new record only. I want it to show ALL records on the query subform and be able to scroll up, down and edit.
Attached is a sample w bogus data.

When I select a row on a split form I would like the up and down arrow keys to move to the previous and next record. However this isn't happening.
When I select a row and press the down arrow nothing happens.
I have the navigation buttons set to no because of the issues I'm having with them.
How to get the up/down arrow keys to work on a split form??

I have three tables that contain different columns but linked by a primary column call Name. I want to create a table where all these different columns in the three tables join to form a master table which can be updated regularly either through the master table or the smaller tables. The master table also has the primary column as Name.
If I update the master table with records, it should update the respective linked table and vice versa. I also want to link these tables to my SharePoint site.
Note: except the Name column, none of these tables have any other columns in common How do I go about this?

If I hide the AutoNumber ID field in a split form datasheet, nothing is displayed in the forms navigation buttons (Record x of x).
If I unhide the ID field, the record number and number of records correctly.
The control is Enabled and Visible.

I'm using a split form with the datasheet on the left.
When I use the 'Find' in the Navigation buttons at the bottom of the form, it refuse to find text in a particular text box.
The text box is a memo field and is enabled.
Example:
I have text in the memo field which is a title of an episode - "The Outcast."
When I start typing "the" it finds this text in the memo field. But when I type the entire title it the finds the text in another field. ie "out."
I've tried the 3 different Search setting in options. When I use the Find command from the ribbon it work ok as long as I select the text box to search in first.

Am trying to display images on a form in a split database. I add the attachment field to the associated form's table and add the attachment control to the form but cannot get the image(s) to display on the form (the control remains blank). I can add the image(s) in table view (and display them) but double clicking on the form control also does nothing.
I think I must be doing at least the basics correctly as if I try the same thing to an earlier, non-split version of the database, all works as expected.Are there additional steps required to do this thing in a split database?

I've placed an unbound text control in the header of a Split Form. I also placed a label in header of a split form.But, neither is visible until I select a row on the split form datasheet.The Visible property is set to yes and the fore color is white and the background is transparent.

Access 2013 on a Window 8.1 system.
I have a combo box based on a look-up table which I use to filter the records in the form. Seems after closing the form and reopening it, the filter remains.
I'm not sure if this is referred to filtering or restricting the records.
The value in the record source doesn't get changed but the records displayed don't reflect this. The records shown are the last filter I selected in the combo box.
The only work around I have found is I must explicitly set the record source in the on open of the form.
The was not occurring with access 2010. And I have made no changes what-so-ever.

I have a split form (frmPatient Schedules) that shows me my records in the datasheet view at the bottom section of the form. My records have a field with a checkbox (ckbxHOLD).how can I get the records that don't have their checkbox checked to be copied as new records to a different table (tblHome Visits)?

I have a bunch of forms which have a split form layout, datasheet area to the bottom of the forms. I'm wanting to group all these split forms onto a "Navigation" form but when I click the tab for each form to be displayed in the subform area the datasheet split is now missing and all I get is a "Single" form view of what is a split form. How can I get these split forms to view properly in the subform area of the navigation form, I guess there's a property setting but I can't see it?
