    moving tabs/forms

    I'm not sure what a tabbed document is. When I open a new form get another Tab. The user ants to drag this tab to a different position. This is similar to opening a new tab on a browser and then dragging it to a new position. IS this what this code does. How is it initiated.

    moving tabs/forms

    I think I mean tabbed documents. If I open a new form I get a tab with the form name in.

    moving tabs/forms

    I have a system where a number of forms can be opened at once. The user wants to be able to move these to an order he likes. Is this possible. So for example form1 is opened. A process then opens form 2 and from here he can open form 3. Each form can be clicked on. We now have a system where...

    Passing a parameter to a query

    I have aform which uses a query as the data source. The query uses a couple of fields on the form as parameters. eg the criteria on the customer field in the query is [forms]![Customer]![txtCustomer]. I want to override this to pick all customers. Is there a clever way of doing this or am I...

    Using instances and transactions

    OK I'm not sure I can do 1). I have a continuous form so rows are presented like a datasheet. So, and tell me if I'm wrong here, if changes are made to say rows 1 and 2, the before update can give the user the option to cancel or not. If he doesn't and the user then changes row 3 he may want to...

    Using instances and transactions

    Hmm I think I may for this one be using a bit of both! OK I copy this standard code to where I want to back out data. Not sure where I got this from without looking at all of my threads but I can find this out if necessary. The code is in the following events After Update On Delete After Del...

    Union queries and sorts

    I have a union query which is formed from 2 other queries to join 2 similar tables into 1. The first query takes the rows from table1 where a certain item in the table is equal to x. It doesn't really matter what the 2nd query does other than it uses a different table, table2.. I join the 2...

    Using instances and transactions

    Because I am! If I open a form and start to make changes there are a couple of events that start the transaction On Dirty and On Delete. At that time the user may wish to open anther instance of a form to make changes to a different set of records. At the point I mentioned it then throws out an...

    Using instances and transactions

    OK I'll take a look. Slowly getting there! The user wants to be able to look at multiple invoices for a a client - hence multiple instances. He also wants the ability to discard any updates hence being in a transaction. I think i may have to put an end to that.

    Using instances and transactions

    No. The user wants to open multiple instances of the form compare invoices/orders etc. That said now you've pointed it out there's nothing to stop him doing it. Better put a stop to that. I used Allen's code to create multiple instances

    Using instances and transactions

    In the past few months I've asked a lot of question. Two in particular were in essence 1. How do I back out updates 2. How do I load more than 1 instance of a form I got some great feed back and implemented both with help from this community In isolation of each other they work a treat. The...

    Thought so, so scrapped it and did it after the commit. You mean Klein bottle do you. Is that like a mobius strip!!?

    Bit of a weird one

    Not sure what you're on about. The error I get is along the lines of file doesn't exist. I get no error number, and nothing is highlighted in the VBA code as to the line it's falling over on. I'm sure your right about the sequence of events but yesterday I basically opened up access and went...

    Updating after an insert

    I have some code which allows for backing out updates. It starts off with a DBEngine.BeginTrans and end with either a DBEngine.CommitTrans or DBEngine.Rollback depending upon the user. This has been working great for 99% of my needs. I can't claim the praise for this as I got it off a thread...
