I would like to bring view details button in my form when right clicked on my form view details should be shown like in standard any form for example when we right click on item number field on the form we have view details option when clicked that opens the details form of that item.
I tried using the normal right click method but could not succeed, please help me how to bring the view details functionality in my custom form.
To have the "View details" standard context menu, the following must be true:
The foreign key (FK) must have a relation defined on the table of the key
The table pointed to by the FK must have a form
The form must have a display menu item
The menu item must have the same name as the table or the FormRef property must be set
The menu item must have security set up, and the user must have read access (or better)
Running the Best Practice check will usually spot the errors.
This blog entry explains it nicely.
You have to create Display Menu Item with the selected form.
Then you can set newly created menu item for the FormRef property of the Table.

I have a continuous form which displays an overview/summary of my data. A user can select a row and click a button I created in the footer to open another form which has all the detail for that particular record and be able to edit it. This works fine. However I would also like for certain fields to be editable from the continuous form. I enabled two fields I would like users to edit directly (One is a combo box selection and the other a text box) When users click the combo box for any record it works fine and they can go back to the same record and select another value if they wish. All great but the text box behaves rather differently - The text box will allow the user to initially enter a value but after entry the box appears disabled and the only way to change the initial data entry is to go into the detail form which still works. Why can't users change the text box from the continuous form after an initial entry?
I found the issue!
There was a conditional filter on that particular field
I am working in a small SharePoint project to let school students pre-order the lunch online.
the main idea is the student can login to a school site, fill an order form.
I try use a list form to do it, just simply put a InfoPath form as web part on the home page.
When students open the site, he can fill the order form directly.
but the problem is the default view of this web part is always the new item form. so when a student already make the order, then login to site again,
how can I let him see his order and edit it instead a new order form.
another way may be use the form library, but i don't know how can i transfer the filed from the form to a list. because at last we still need a list instead a bunch of documents to get the summary of order.
Thank you for help.
Perhaps you can use a custom list and show that on the homepage?
A 'custom list' by default only has a title column but by adding more columns through the list settings you automatically add form fields on its new item form.
Since you are creating an order form you might want to hide the title column. Go to the settings of the list, then advanced settings, allow editing of content types. Then back in the list settings click the 'item' content type, then the title column then click the radio button for hidden.
can I somehow set in what order the text fields become active after pressing the "Tab" button?
I think it depends on when you added the field and not where it is in the form. So can I change this or I should add the fields in the order I want to switch them with the "Tab" button?
Thanks!
There are at least a couple of ways to change tab order.
With the form in design view, right click on an area of the form without a control. On the context menu that appears, click on Tab Order. A dialog will open that will allow you to change the tab order.
Another method is via the property sheet for each control. On the Other tab there is a property for Tab Order. Just set it to whatever you like.
I am new in Microsoft Access. What i want is to switch between forms in subform panel depending upon the user selects from drop down list. Attach file contains what i want
I google alot but didnt find any help. Thank you for your help.
Here is screen shot. but I am confused in finding control of subform.
Forms("frmMain").Form.subFormControl.SourceObject = "SubForm_2_A"
..should be all you need.
subFormControl is the name of the subform-container-control that contains Subform2.
frmMain is the name of the parent form, not labelled in your picture (actually, you might not have to put subform1 in a subform really, its content could be on the parent form).
EDIT:
The red frame marks a subform. Click on -1- to make sure the main form has the focus. Then click once on -2- and the control is selected, and its properties show up in the properties box on the right.
Note that you find the "source object" in the data page and the name of the control in the "other" page. Access makes the name (of the control) the same as the form, which is really not such a bright idea and rather confusing.
I'm using a RadGrid for changing record status's. Users have the ability to select a status from a dropdown and update that record with that status. Depending on the status chosen, when the user clicks update I want to popup an additional form so the user can fill out more data required for the update. I'm not sure the best way to go about implementing this. Any suggestions are appreciated.
One way is to use the RadWindow like a modal and pop it up to the user via client-side JavaScript. We use RadWindows in our applications and it works. Or, the RadWindow supports a Nested Grid or View that you can have as a record's child; so you can have the master record, click on the arrow on the left and expand the record to view a nested grid of data, or a custom view (via the NestedViewTemplate property). You can also have the form in a DIV, hide it, then show it via JavaScript too.
Those are two ways.
HTH.
