Hi All,
I have a parent form which has a subform container. Above the subform container
is a tab control object (5 tabs). Clicking on a tab selects the tab an triggers
(underlying code) a change to the underlying subform. Works great.
But I discovered I need one of the subform pages, let’s call it “Edits”, to
change, based upon a different context, to either a different page or a
different subform using code. The key here is that some action in the parent
form needs to cause the subform container to display a different form.
Seems easy… But I haven’t been able to get it to work.
Parent Form (Tab control)
-> Subform container
-> actual subform
Logically it seems that I need to programmatically set the correct tab and tell
the subform container to change the subform displayed. And then, of course,
have the subform appear in the subform container.
At the point where I need things to happen I’m not in a subform so I can’t use
CALL SUBFORM CONTAINER. I can’t use EXECUTE METHOD IN SUBFORM because I am at
the parent level. Well if I had a multi-page subform then I might need to use
the command.
I’ve tried many variations over the last few days. So… I am sure that not
having a clear understanding of what I am doing is contributing to my hit and
miss approach not working.
So what’s the secret sauce to manage programmatically the subform change
(parent level)?
Can someone point to where my understanding is off? Or other ideas?
Appreciate,
John…
