VBA to move to a new record in a subform (1 Viewer)

[andy1968]

I have code in my form to print preview a report.


I would like to move to a new record in a subform after the report is opened.


I have tried to enter this code at the end of the open report code:

Me.frmToDoListEntryLinks.SetFocus
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec

I get a Run-time error '2046': The command or action 'GoToRecord' isn't available now.




The focus moves to the subform, but that stops on the last record.

on your form:

docmd.openreport "the report"
docmd.gotorecord,, acNewRec

Wouldn't that just move to a new record on the main form?


I'm trying to move to a new record on a subform.

'2x
Me.subformname.setfocus
Me.subformname.setfocus
docmd.gotorecord,, acNewRec

Hi. Since we can't see your subform, I'm just gonna ask: Does your subform allow additions?

 

[andy1968]

Yes, it does.


I tested the code on as a stand alone on the main form and it worked flawlessly.

arnelgp,


Tried the 2x set focus, same result

 

[arnelgp]

Me.frmToDoListEntryLinks.Form.Recordset.AddNew
