All,
Have a set of nested forms/subforms in this order:
frmMain => sfmMain => ifmTABset => sfmUSR => sfmSETcfg
where sfmMain & sfmUSR are the control fields containing the subforms being called and the TAB control TabCtl0 resides in the TABBED form of ifmTABset.
I am trying to open the 5th TAB in the TABBED form and set it's subform with the following code:
Form_frmMain.sfmMain.Form![TabCtl0].Value = 5
or
Form_frmMain![sfmMain].Form.ifmTABset![TabCtl0].Value = 5
Form_frmMain![sfmMain].Form.ifmTABset![sfmUSR].SourceObject = "sfmSETcfg"
Form_frmMain![sfmMain].Form.ifmTABset![sfmUSR].SetFocus The last two lines are correct, but getting:
1. "not valid for this property",
2. "can't find field".
errors respectively. If I put the last two line first and I click the TAB after clearing the error the right subform shows.
The customer DB is designed with FE/BE config with central BE DB on the server, so writing an automated table relink subroutine. Have global of "LinkStat" initialized as False, with:
if LinkStat = true then
....
end if
in each "OnLoad" event for each screen, which is necessary as all forms are unbound, so have to execute for .rowsource of each combobox in each form in the onload for each.
When the link refresh runs, without error, the LinkStat is set True, but it is having trouble calling this config screen, on fail, where the user can "Browse" for the location of the BE file and sets it in a local table.
The config screen is in the fifth TAB of the TABBED form (which is the set of "SETUP" screens) and the 3rd subform in the SETUP Form, normally selected with button on lefthand side, see the ConfigScreen screen shot. The initial run always fails to link, so a manual call to the subroutine is needed, which is from the button in the Tools Screen (5th subform) per screen shot.
I know it is a syntax thing, but my mind is toast today, so please help. Just not seeing the obvious today.
Thanks!
