I'm working on an Access database that will generate forms automatically. For each form, I want to add a page with the same name of the form, and this page will contain the form.
For now, I managed to create the forms, to add a page on the tab control but I can't find the way to add the form created into the page.
In design view, it's possible to drag and drop the form directly into the page. Is there any way in VBA code to obtain the same result ?
Update: I want for the forms inserted to have 'Link Master Fields' and 'Link child fields' empty (unbound form).
Thank you!

I'm working on a Laravel-admin project with Laravel9 and I have an edit form that fetches a single piece of data from the DB and updates it.
Therefore, I don't want to have a grid panel or create form.
Is there any way to remove the grid panel and create form and show only the edit form when people visit the page?
I'm a newbie and I don't know much about it.
Any advise would be appreciated.
1.Changed the path to this but showed grid panel:
http://localhots/admin/management/1/edit
2.Tried to put $form in $grid, grid panel didn't show up but a create form with create button was displayed.
I'm currently developing a simple enrollment system for our school project. I have multiple modules that when clicked will open a new form with another set of sub modules.
However, I hate how forms load every time I open a new form. Is there like a way that when I clicked say for example "Enrollment" button, instead of loading a new form, it will change all the controls instead. Tried using User Control but it keeps crashing my program down after I created 2 user controls and load them in one form.
Main Form;
Enrollment Sub Form
Please help me guys.
As LarsTech mentioned I would use user controls instead of forms.
Each user control would be setup the same way as your form is, but can be loaded to a panel on the main form, allowing for a single form to show all content.
Dim myControl = New ControlYouCreated
panel1.Controls.Add(myControl)
myControl.bringtofront
This for example, will bring in the contents of the user control you created, into your form1 panel.
I have created the following navigation structure in a Microsoft access 2010 database:
You can see that there are two tabs, and the data for the tabs is populated with information linked to the ClientID, which is stored in an un-editable textbox at the top of the form. When the Communications Forms tab is selected, a list of communications forms that have been completed for the specific ClientID is shown. And there is a button to create a new form. My question is how do I write the macro so that clicking on the Create New Form button will cause a blank new form to be loaded in the space that is currently occupied by the List of Forms?
Below is what I have so far. It sends the user to a new form instead of embedding the new form underneath the Communication Forms tab in the current form. How can I change the below so that the blank new form is loaded under the Communication Forms tab in the current form, so that all the navigation controls remain visible/usable?
EDIT:
To address HK1's assumptions below, I am adding the following description of the steps I took to create the form in the screenshot above:
1.) I created a blank form in design view.
2.) I added a listbox to list client fullname and id, and a textbox to filter the listbox.
3.) I added the clientid and fullname textboxes to the form, and set them to change based on
what the user selects from the listbox
4.) I dragged a navigation control onto the form next to the listbox
5.) I dragged a form called "ListOfForms" onto a new tab in the navigation control to create the tab
6.) I added the CreateNewForm command button to the ListOfForms form while embedded in the main form
Here is the result of HK1's suggested code:
While I appreciate it, it does not do what I need. You can see that it just adds an additional row to the list in ListOfForms. Instead, I need the code to place a blank MyForm in the place of MainForm where ListOfForms is currently located. Thus, under the CommunicationsForms tab, all the user would see would be a blank MyForm object, which is a different form than ListOfForms.
When I click on the place where ListOfForms is located in Layout View, I see that it is called NavigationSubForm in the Property Sheet. Thus, NavigationSubForm would swap in MyForm in place of ListOfForms when the user clicks on the Create New Form command button. But if the user clicks on CommunicationForms tab again, ListOfForms would again be placed in NavigationSubForm.
I tried the following:
Private Sub cmdCreateNewForm_Click()
Forms!MainForm!NavigationSubform = MyForm
End Sub
But it generates a Runtime Error '438': Object doesn't support this property or method.
Next, I tried:
Private Sub cmdCreateNewForm_Click()
Forms!MainForm.NavigationSubform.SourceObject = MyForm
End Sub
This causes the NavigationSubForm to go blank, so that ListOfForms disappears. This seems like I am on the correct track, but what do I need to do to get it to put a blank MyForm in the NavigationSubForm instead of just an empty space?
The form you have labeled as "List of Forms" appears to be what's called a continuous form, and I'm guessing it's inside a subform control located on a another form. I'm also guessing that your Create New Form button is probably located on the header section of your continuous form. I'm also making the assumption that your continuous form/subform is bound to an editable recordset/recordsource but there's no way I can tell this by looking at the screenshot.
With these assumptions in place, the code for your Create New Form button would probably be something like this:
Private Sub cmdCreateNewForm_Click()
Me.AllowAdditions = True
DoCmd.GoToRecord, , acNewRec
End Sub
If any of my assumptions above are incorrect than it's likely this code won't work as expected.
Be aware that New Records in continuous forms (and datasheet forms) always appear at the bottom of the list. I'm not aware of any easy way of making them appear anywhere else.
I have a problem stated below....
I have a MDI form having different child form. if i open the form then if related data not exist in database, a suggestion banner should appear top of the forms to enter related data first. Even, if I close the child form, suggestion banner should remain open and Onclick on that banner go to specific form to add the record. There should be different banner of different forms. so please help me to implement this scenario.
Thanks in Advance.
I want to use which control as banner. so after struggling i fount panel best as banner. Setting panel property -> AccessibleRole = Alert. So I implement scenario easily.
Instead of opening the child form, open the banner form first (which opens the child form).
Then check in the banner form if the data has been entered. If it has:- close the banner form.
I am building a database on MS 2003. I have one form which calls for a series of options. This form is based on the table "Categories" which is linked to the main table by Customer ID.
Now, both forms appear together on the same screen, what I am trying to do is have the person select one or more of the categories and in pressing a command button then those categories which were selected will show its respective forms. The forms are invisible until selected and until the command button is pressed.
Since they are two different forms (categories in one) and the entry form on another, How do I program the command button to make the entry form visible FROM the other form?
The sub-form is located in a tab. I dont want to show it as a pop-up but to become visible within the tab where it's located
If the form is open but invisible then you can refer to it as a member of the forms collection and make it visible:
forms("myForm").Visible = true
If the form isn't open then get its name from the AllForms collection of the project and then use the OpenForm method:
docmd.OpenForm currentproject.AllForms("myForm").Name, acNormal
Pseudologic: you are basically going to want to set the Visible property with all of your forms to False during the form's Open event. You should place this Visible = False code in a separate subroutine so that the code structure can be called during other events too. (For example you may want to provide a Reset button so that the user can reset the form, or trigger the "set false" code when a new customer id is selected.) Then with every selected category you would set its associated form property visible by setting Visible = True.
