Programmatically open a form in tabbed mode - Access 2007
Here is my question: I am using the contacts database template from Access
2007. This database has two forms: “Contact List” and “Contact Details”. The “Contact List” has an “Open” command for each contact in the list; this command when clicked will open the “Contact Details” for that specific contact. By default the “Contact Details” opens in pop-up mode. How can I force it to open the form in tabbed mode instead? The database property is already set to tabbed mode and I have changed the macro behind the “Open” command to read: Contact Details, Form, , ="[ID]=" & Nz([ID],0), , Normal. Also, I sat the “Contact Details” form property Pop Up = No. In addition, I noticed that if I first open the “Contact Details” from the navigation pane it opens in tabbed mode, and then if I open the “Contact List” and select an item from the list, access will focus on the “Contact Details” form, selects the appropriate contact and the form stays tabbed. |
