Navigation Form issues

[Voodeux2014]

I am attempting to set up a navigation form for my "New Employee" form. I want to have a tab for the employee's information, another for device information, and so on. When I get the form inside of the navigation form to load, how do I get it to go straight to a new record. For example, Navigation form is named frmNewEmployee and the form on the employee information tab is called frmAddEmployee.

I've tried:



Macro - open form -> frmAddEmployee -> goto record new (receives error stating that form is not open)
Macro - open form -> frmNewEmployee -> goto record new (no error, but does nothing)

Attempted to write the VBA for doing the same thing above and get same results. What am I doing wrong?

Once you place a Form within the native Navigation Form, the Form actually becomes a Subform, and has to be addressed/referred to as such. Very few experienced developers use the Navigation Forms, for this reason; most of us 'roll our own' nav forms.

Thank you for the information. What would be the best way to learn how to "roll my own" nav form? haha

That would usually be using a Tab control and placing subforms on each page of the Tab control.

As mentioned above , once inserted, nav forms are like sub form.
Put this code in the Click event of Navigation Button that opens your (inserted) form.

Me.NavigationSubform.SetFocus
DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNewRec
