I have a List view (parent), and inside of that I have a sub view that is a blank view which contains some input boxes. I also have Next/Previous buttons in the parent that use GoToRecord to navigate to the next/previous records.
If I enter some data into the subview and try to navigate away using the Next/Previous buttons, I recieve an error asking me to Save, Discard or Edit my inputs in the subview (which is fine). However, if I:
click Save: It goes to the next record (expected) but the controls on the next record do not work
click Discard: Same as above - that is, it goes to the next record but none of the controls work
click Continue Editing: It jumps to the next record and populates the subview with the data from the previous record.
Why am I encountering these issues? Is this a product issue?
Yes, this seems to be a product issue. I believe this is essentially the same type of underlying product issue you identified in your earlier post here:
MS-Access 2013 Web Apps - Why does GoToRecord break when the view contains a subview?
I talked with the product team and they are looking into this. Access seems to be swallowing the custom Action Bar buttons in this scenario with a main and Subview.

In my DB i have a table called "PrintList" populated with a random number of records and a report called "ReportList", which is linked to "PrintList", that is used to print all the records of the table above.
EDIT: I would let the user to see a print preview in Access to check the list and then choose if print it or not, so i prefer to avoid using code to print.
Is it possible to handle the "ReportList" print event and delete all "PrintList" records after the report is printed? Right now I use a button to empty the list via SQL, but it will be more useful to empty it after printing it.
Report/section events like On Format or On Print are fired both for Print Preview and for actual printing. So the report doesn't know, and thus can't handle your requirement.
I'd use a form with buttons for Preview and Print, and delete the records when the form is closed (because you can't prevent the user from printing from the preview).
The whole requirement looks a bit strange, TBH.
Open your report in design mode.
If the properties pane on the right isnt visible, press F4 to make it visible.
In the properties pane, click on the Events tab.
Find the OnPrint event and click the little ellipses to the right of it to open a VBA window ready to accept your code for that event.
There is a report contains 1000s of pages of data.Is there any way to make a button on the first page of the report so that ,if click on the button it goes to the end of the pages.
Is there any expression to be written,with out writing the vb.net code?
There is a button like that in SSRS (you can also type page number in the box and press enter):
EDIT:
You can add a bookmark at the end of your report and then make a textbox which will jump to it (textbox properties->Action->mark "go to bookmark" and select the bookmark you made. I am not sure, however, if it works well in excel.
Web viewer control, this button already exists.
I don't believe you can add a button to SSRS and export to Excel to go to last row.
You can use Excel command to go to last cell which should work.
Refer to [http://office.microsoft.com/en-ca/excel-help/excel-shortcut-and-function-keys-HP010073848.aspx][1]
CTRL+G
Displays the Go To dialog box.
F5 also displays this dialog box.
Click on "Special..." button and select "Last Cell" option and click OK
Sorry .. Tried posting images for you but not enough points to do so.
There are 2 ways of reaching the last page or the data on the last page:
Sol 1. #kyooryu has already mentioned above in his solution along with a screenshot.
Sol 2. You can freeze the header and set the display result to show the data on a single page. This way you will not have multiple pages and you can directly hit the end button from keyboard on the report manager to reach the bottom result set. Freezing the header will help you in identifying the column names.
Step1: I open an Access form when the software opens. It acts like a switchboard manager where the user can open other forms and reports. (Popup = yes, modal = no)
Step2: Click to open a "Master Form" which also has other options. (ditto) So the original VB code called this form to be open and is still "running" in the background.
Step 3: Click to open a report based on the record selected.
So now there's 2 forms open and 1 report. User cannot toggle between them, must close one to get to the other (necessary).
On the open report, I would like to modify the rightclick commandbar. However, "Close" doesn't work because Access now shows Form1 and Form2 above as gray and Access is locked. I would like to be able to right-click to do a number of things including Close, Change to Design View, etc. But if I'm locked out like this, none of these will work.
I searched on...
1. Ending the background vba that's running - no luck
2. Setting focus on the active screen name - no luck
3. Setting focus on a control on the Form2 above - no luck
4. Tried all kinds of CommandBar things, no luck (ID choice vs. manual OnAction) and many more
I'd be happy to attach what I'm doing but it's pretty big, although I could probably cut out the sections that this applies too...
I've been searching for about 16 hours now... Anyone???
Thanks so much.
Popup = Yes in Access means two things:
The form or report stays above all other forms and reports that have Popup = No and above Access’ application window.
The form or report is not bound to the area of Access' application window and can be drawn outside of it.
You have two options:
Set Popup = No for the two forms. In this case they will be tied to the application window area.
Set Popup = Yes for the report as well, so that it can stand in front of the two forms.
I'm fairly new to microsoft access and i'm currently designing a database for my company but I'm having some trouble trying to get the tab control to work properly. The problem is whenever it navigates through all the pages, when it reaches the last field to fill in, it goes to the next record but stays in the last page, it doesn't 'reset' back to the first page so it follows a logical order.
HansUp offered a good suggestion in his comment, but you may not want to unconditionally SetFocus the first tab in OnCurrent because that could cause the tab focus to switch as users navigate from one record to another using the record selector buttons. There could be cases where the users might find that annoying.
Instead, you might want to use the LostFocus event of the final field to manipulate a flag that would allow OnCurrent to SetFocus the first tab when the user moves to a new record by "falling off the end" of the previous record, but leave the tab focus alone if the user is just stepping through the records.
I am having a problem with a UI that I am building in a Google Spreadsheet. I will First explain a little about how it works and than I will get to the problem. The UI is fairly simple program that connects to a SQL database, it allows users to create new records, Query, search, and render reports. I have created all the panels (eg the intro page, the create record) in the GUI builder. As the user navigates through the UI I swap out a Grid with the new panel that i want the user to see. For example on the intro page there is a create button when the user clicks the button the gird where there intro panel was is replaced by the create record panel. I have created two ways for the user query/search for data. The first way is to select a number range on the intro panel and click the Query button. This will than query the last 10 or so records into a GUI built Panel that I will call MainForm. The second way is to "search" for a job. On the intro page there is a search button when the user clicks with button it goes to a new page; the grid is switched to the search panel. On the new page/panel the user can put in some parameters to search for. After the user clicks the search button the program should load the search results into the MainForm in the same way as when you Query from the intro page. I have taken the whole function apart line by line, so i am sure that the issue has to do with loading the panel/Component. What i mean by that is these few lines of code.
var Component = app.loadComponent("MainForm");
var panel = app.createVerticalPanel().setSize("770px", "900px").add(Component);
app.getElementById("contentGrid").setWidget(0,0, panel);
But why would it load in one case, but not in another? Also it is not the method of loading the Component, rather it is the returning the panel/ Component.
To Summarize, When I load the Component with the query function it works, but when i load the Component in the search function I get and error: Incompatible type passed in as a parameter. Also I load the MainForm Component in two other functions as and it works most of the time, but some times I get the same error.
I think your approach is not ideal, load component is not supposed to be called multiple times. It would be far more efficient to get all your panels in the same compnent and play with visibility of each panel to show / hide them on demand. Each panel should be inserted in a vertical panel so that the "new panel" slips to its place when the "old one" hides.
An example of this approach is shown in this post to simulate tabs and could easily be adapted to your needs.
btw, this method is also very fast and responsive since the full UI is ready from the very beginning ;-)
