Hey All,
First I AM A NEWBIE and hope that you profies have mercy on me!!
I collect old bottles and I am trying to make a database to archive my bottles. The problem that I am having is with the tabs. The records do not sync when you go from tab to tab. So if I go to record 5 on the first tab and then go to the second tab it will still be on the last record that I entered. Please help, I dont have much Hair left Her is a pic,,,,,
Jeff,
I know that this concept is going to be a little difficult to understand that it could work, but it does, and is very easy to use after you get over the feeling "this won't work." It will work.
Consider the form that holds the tab control your master form (it really is you master form anyway, just be sure you start thinking of it that way.). Then, each form within your tab control is a sub-form. Now, look at this explanation of how to sync multiple forms: http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.c...548442&page=10
Good luck!

I have almost got it. Now I have got two tabs working, and the third works but I cant enter data right away and I get this message down at the bottom:
"The value cannot be added to this new row untill the row has been committed. Commit the row first and then try adding the value"
If I go back a record and then go forward I can then enter data into that table. So I thought to try this:
On the Page11 tab I put:
onclick
docmd.runcommand acCmdSaveRecord
Glad you got it. Just a hint, as you probably found out, but the CLICK event of tabs or the tab control itself is basically useless. For almost everything you want the tab control's On Change event.
