Forms :: Set Focus - Sending Cursor To First Field
Dec 31, 2014
I have a form (Home_Interview_Form) with several subforms (AirFresheners, Pesticides1 etc), and I would like the cursor to move from the last field in one subform to the first field in the next subform on keydown. I have written the following code, but instead of sending the cursor to the first field (PestSpray) it is going to the next field (PestSprayCom) in the subform for some reason. I am using Access 2013.
Private Sub Fresh2React_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)
Forms!Home_Interview_Form!Pesticides1.SetFocus
Forms!Home_Interview_Form!Pesticides1.Form!PestSpr ay.SetFocus
End Sub
I have created a button that takes the contents of a memo field and adds a new line of text at the top with the date, time and initials of staff member. So far, so good...
However I want it to end with the cursor ready at the end of the first line (to type the note) The following code does everything but ends by putting the cursor right at the end of all of the text in the memo field (instead of the end of the first line):
I have several comboxes where I'm using date/time input masks. When I go to enter data in the field the cursor is situated at the right end of the box. I have to backspace to the beginning of the field to enter the data. How do I position the cursor to the beginning (left side) of the field?
Looking to create two command buttons or two keystrokes sets in an Access 2007 form that will allow me to place a current date and time in any allowable field where the Cursor is presently placed. Similar to what was in Access 2000, ctl: (for the current date) and ctl shift : (for the current time).
I am currently stuck on set focus property. I have a main from with nested subform. I am trying to move the focus from last field of the subform to another field on the main form.
Now I have a field name [Securedesign] in frmOrderdetails and I want the tab order to navigate to field [CustomerID] in frmAddresses which is a subform to frmCustomers.
Normally I don't have any troubles sending an e-mail; however, this time I want to include a text field (cc copy) that is sometimes blank. The e-mail will not send if the field is blank. So, I tried using an If Then statement but that doesn't work within the SendObject command.
Here's the code I tried ...
DoCmd.SendObject acSendNoObject, , acFormatRTF, Me.POC1EMail, If Not IsNull([Me.POC2EMail]) Then Me.POC2EMail, , "FOUO: Assistance Request", "Text here", True
I have done a half-dozen searches and only gotten 1 option.
There is a simple way to have the cursor at the beginning or end of a field when it arrives in a new field.
I saw the VBA code aboyt setting the length. There is an easier, simpler way to set it so that you don't have to apply the vba code to every single indiviual field.
I remember learning about it here on this forum, but now can't find it.
When I try to edit fields in a subform the cursor always jumps to the first record's first field with a tab stop. I can not complete the modification and the cursor jumps back to the first record. When on the first record and on any other field the cursor will jump to the first field with tab stop.
I have a table with CODE number as text. (1234-11-3456). I also have this field in a subform. How do I get the field to start at left, and also make all CAPS. Also where do I do the input mask. In the Table or the Form where it is a subform?
When I put some wrong value in the field the cursor not stay in the same filed its skip to next field. The code is as under:-
Private Sub RollNo_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) If (RollNo.Value > 1) Or (RollNo.Value < 22) Then MsgBox "Roll No is Wrong, Please Type correct Roll No" Cancell = True End If End Sub
The RollNo is numeric field. How to stop the cursor in the box if I put wrong number.
I spent several hours but looks like I can't pop up a message in a form when the cursor pointer is on a specific object. Focus of cursor maybe somewhere else, but when I move the cursor with mouse and it reaches to a specific object, I want the object to display a message. I couldn't do it.
I'm having trouble with a field on my DB. I have a field named zip code. It has a limit of 5 characters that are only number values, I'm not having any trouble with entering information at all, it's easiest when I just tab into the cell from the previous one. However, the part I am having trouble with is when I click within the field and the cursor, let's say, is at the second character line, and I enter the zipcode 15222, it'll only enter 1522 since my cursor is at the second line.
How can I fix this so that wherever my cursor is, within the box it'll type the full 5 digit zip code? My boss is insistent on making sure that even if he clicks towards the right of the box, it should type the full number.
I launch a 'CreateNewRecords' form from a 'MainForm' form. When the 'CreateNewRecords' form closes, the new record is visible on 'Main Form'.The underlying query is unsorted, so this code in the AfterUpdate event of 'CreateNewRecords' puts the cursor on the last record displayed on 'MainForm', which is the newly created record:
Forms!frmMainForm.Requery With Forms!frmMainForm.RecordsetClone .MoveLast Forms!frmMainForm.Bookmark = .Bookmark End With
However, I intend to sort the underlying query, which means that a newly created record may appear in the middle of the records displayed on 'MainForm'.
What I want to have happen is that after a new record is created by 'CreateNewRecords', the underlying query is requeried so that all current records are displayed on 'MainForm' but also that the cursor rests on the newly created record (rather than default to the first record).
I have checked the tab order and have cycle for my form set to = all records (but have also tried current record). After I update one of any of my textboxes in the details section and then click or tab into the next box, the cursor jumps back to the first record, first field.
Issue with Cursor moving on multi Subforms in a form.
I have 2 sub-forms in a main form as per screenshot. So Cursor moving from main form to 1st subform working well. After can't move the cursor from 1st subform to 2nd subform with tabbing or entering. Still there in 1st Subform in the last entered filed after tabbing or entering. I've checked on tab orders also they shown correct but it is can't move to 2nd subform.
I have a continuous subform on my main form where one text box is a hyperlink that opens a form. All is well, except....
When the mouse hovers over the text box of the top record, the cursor does not change to the hyperlink pointed finger thing (it's I-beam), even though the text in the textbox displays in hyperlink format.
If I hover over the hyperlink/text boxes of records 2 thorough x, the hand-cursor appears.
More info: 1. The hyperlink functions normally (i.e., the appropriate form opens to the appropriate record) 2. When I then return to the main form, the hand-cursor magically appears when hovering the first record. 3. I have 2 other continuous subforms on the same main form that behave the same way.
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 made an On Change Procedure on a textbox, so everytime I input a character, it will trigger the Me.Requery.
However, after that the event, the mouse cursor moved to the beginning of other field. I want it to stay at the end of the textbox so I can enter a full word, how do I do that?
Code:
Private Sub Text73_Change() ProjectSearch = Me.Text73 Me.Filter = "[Project Name] Like " & Chr(34) & ProjectSearch & "*" & Chr(34) Me.FilterOn=True Me.Requery End Sub
-How can I address the fields on my forms? I just want to create a button that increases a value by one on click.I tried
FORMNAME.FIELDNAME = FORMNAME.FIELDNAME + 1 FIELDNAME = FIELDNAME + 1 FORMNAME!FIELDNAME = FORNAME!FIELDNAME + 1 but the button does nothing. And that is all I found by googling.
-How to focus a field at the beginning? I want to be able to start writing always in the same field.
FIELDNAME.SetFocus
does not work. I dont know if I made any mistake during creating tables and forms, but these codes should actually work, shouldnt they?
I moved the Address field from third postion to first position, so that clicking on a list box places the address from the List Box into the Address field. I adjusted the bound and source boxes and it works perfectly. The cursor now points to the Last Name field (second position, which it did originaly.) I would like the cursor to point to the Address field so as not to confuse the operator. How can this be accomplished? I am sure the correct Event code will do the tick.
I'm sending out an e-mail (see below). I want to add a cc addressee. However, sometimes the cc addressee will be blank. The e-mail works if the cc addressee field has data. It doesn't work if there isn't data. I tried an IIF statement but that didn't work. How do I can the object to work if the field is blank (null) or has data?
DoCmd.SendObject acSendNoObject, , acFormatTXT, Me.POCEmail, , Me.Email, , "Decoration Issue - Resolution Assistance", "Sir/Ma'am," & vbCr & vbCr & _ "We need your assistance in resolving the following decoration issue:" & vbCr & vbCr & _ "Issue/Necessary Correction: " & Me.Issue & vbCr & vbCr & _ "Member Information " & vbCr & vbCr & _
