I am using MS Access and I'd like to split a lengthy form into multiple pages. It'd be better if I can use 'next' and 'previous' buttons to navigate within the same form through multiple pages.
I'm using MS Office 2016. I can't move my PageBreak because I've reached the limit of the form :/
Any help would be appreciated ^^
Insert a PageBreak in the form:
Browsing is done with PageUp and PageDown.

I want to create 'Navigation Forms' in 'ms Access' as it should look like a form but i need to navigate in between them.
And the forms are composed of queries creation of form is simple but the problem is like if i can create in 2010 or 2013 its just simple but i dont have upgraded version but i think there is some way to create page navigation like 2010 and 2013 in 2007.
Any help is accepted.
Here is a sample link in 2010(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovcxmeyrILQ)
Tab Controls are NOT the same as Navigation Controls! Tabs Ctrls hold separate forms on each page or tab, which means when the main form loads it loads ALL the sub-forms that are contained on the various pages of the TabCtrl.
Sadly Nav Ctrls were introduced in A2010, however, I've been using them since 2003. Well obviously not exactly because they were introduced. But instead I used labels (not command buttons although you can use those - I chose labels because I wanted to change the background and font color of the selected "tab"). I also wrote a function that took the value of the label (aka subform name) and used that to change the form of a subform control which was placed directly below or beside the labels depending on whether I wanted a horizontal or vertical "nav ctrl".
I could upload the code for this, however, I believe, given that MS has given a better control than this work around AND you should be able to piece this together if you've got a basic working experience with VBA.

Use the page break control from the Design tab on the Ms Access Ribbon.
You drag the page break on to the form and it shows as a couple of dots on the left of the form.
Then use the form's GoToPage method to navigate between pages.
Hello I am trying to create a Form in Access 2010 with dynamic controls.
On the form there is a list of textboxes for entering information.
However I would like the ability to click a button to dynamically add more textboxes to the form on request. (This is because I am not confident with a set number of text boxes as the information entered at one time could vary)
The problem is that digging around it seems the only way to add controls to a form is to open the form in design mode and add the controls, and when design mode is closed the user is prompted with a dialog asking them to save the changes made in design mode before the form can be reopened in normal mode.
Is there any way to solve this problem or would a workaround be needed (like a large number of hidden textboxes already present in the form? )
"...like a large number of hidden textboxes already present in the form..." -- I don't consider that a work-around. It's your best solution.
It does require the form to be opened for design, but VBA does facilitate these in-use changes.
Your question sounds strange...Controls for what ? Do you also plan to add fields to your db on the fly ? I hope not because then you have a serious design problem.
Otherwise, with the few details you provide, I would think the way to go is very simple: use a "continuous" subform like explained here.
I've got a master form on my page, and I want to create onClick events for some of my drop down boxes to populate other drop down boxes depending on the choice made.
I know I can't have a form within a form.
Any advice on how I can achieve this.
I'm using HTML, Classic ASP and Mysql to populate the combo boxes.
Thanks
John
John. To do this, you would need an AJAX engine running alongside your Javascript, unless you want your page to reload everytime you want the combos to be populated.
There are many ways to do this and each easier than the latter, but all of them will require an ASP file doing the response in a XML file.
Start with the basics: Learn about Javascript & Ajax... or cut half of your work/time and learn jQuery's. Trust me,... it's worth the trouble.

This is not a developer question, it's a novice question from someone that has used Access as a front-end for a SQL database for years with no problems. I've now created a standalone Access database that I've created for various staff to fill out different pages of a three page form. The form has control tabs for pages 1, 2 and 3. Each page has the social security (SS) number of an individual on it. Pages 2 and 3 are just memo fields except for the SS number. I have created 4 records for individuals. When I try to print or do a print preview from the form, it shows just the first page for each individual. If I save it as a report, it does the same thing.
How can I get three pages to print for each individual, or just print three pages on one individual?
Personally, I would separate your reports from your user interface. That way your report can be exactly what you need rather than making a duel purpose form.
If you don't want to use the report wizards to build a custom report, then how about removing the tab control and building a long (vertical) form with all the fields in it in three sections, with a vertical scrollbar. Then the print should work.
