Access - New Record on Subform (Docmd or RunCommand) from that form's Tabbed Form
Posted on 2012-12-20
Hello all!
I have a Main form on that main form I have
1 subform (with it's own subform) AND also
1 Tabbed Form with the tabs of the Tabbed Form having Subform's on them.
I am attempting to transfer info
FROM:
One of the Tabbed Form's Subform
TO
The other Subform of the Main Form
When I click a command button on one of the Tabbed Forms Sub it is transferring the data to the other MainForm's Sub but I can not get it to go to a new record on that form.
When i use Docmd
I get an error
Run-Time error 2498
An Expression you entered is the wrong data type for one of the arguments.
DoCmd.GoToRecord , Forms![frm_Inv]![frm_ctl_M
If I put quotations around the Form name I get the object. xxxxxxxx isn't open.
If I put Open/Close parenthesis around it (no quotations) I get the same "wrong argument" error.
How can I correct it?

Records should be added to tables, so you can create append query and run it.
Try this syntax if you like follow your idea:
docmd.GoToRecord acDataForm, Forms![frm_Inv]![frm_ctl_M
I hope form [frm_Inv] is opened

Thanks for replying Als315
Made that fix. Still get "Run-Time error 2498
An expression you entered is the wrong data type for one of the arguments."
Just to Reiterate, this Main form has 1 subform Plus 1 Tabbed form with Subforms. I'm trying to get it to move data from the Tabbed Form's Sub to the Main Form's Other Subform.
When the Main form opens, the Subform (not the Tabbed form's sub) opens with "New" in the Record. The command button on the Tabbed Form's Sub does work to transfer the first line of data into the Main Form's Subform but when it hits the dcmd....acnewRec is where it is erroring.
Since that SubForm is on the Main Form and both the Main form, the Tabbed Form and the SubForm are all open, isn't the SubForm therefore open?

Here you go....
when you open it the form is
frm_EstimWorkup
Click on a Process on the Main form which will eventually make the Tab Form Sub visible (left all visible for now) input whatever numbers in the textbox and click save. Should transfer into over to the Mainform's Sub (the right side of the form with blue heading)
TestForm-MainTabSub-MainFormSub.accdb

Try this (without newrecord). Only Process01 (Page2)
TestForm-MainTabSub-MainFormSub.accdb
TestForm-MainTabSub-MainFormSub.accdb

I get a Run-Time Error '2455'
You entered an expression that has an invalid reference to the property Dirty.
Happens when I input numbers on the Page2 Tabbed form Subform sfrm_WkSh01
Stops on If Me.Dirty Then Me.Dirty=False
Private Sub cmdSave_Click()
Dim i As Integer, J As Integer
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
J = Me.cboInv.ListCount
Set rs = CurrentDb.OpenRecordset("d
Forms![frm_EstimWorkup]![f
If Me.Dirty Then Me.Dirty = False
For i = 1 To J
rs.AddNew
