MS Access 2010 New NavigatorControl

[JrMontgom]

I have a form frmMainMenu with a horizontal navigatorcontrol and a vertical navigatorcontrol. The horizontal control is called NCMain. I want to be able to use the SelectTab property on NcMain to get the name of the form called up by the vsrious Navigator buttons on the NCMain without having to put code on each navigatorbutton. Is that possible? Most of the help is minimal for the navigator control. Nut one book says there is a control called NavigatorControl containing various navigator buttons and there is a subform which is called MainSubformControl. Any help poiting me in the right direction would help.

I hate to be a whiner but I really would like some help on this problem regarding how to call a process whenever a Navigationbutton is clicked in a NavigatioControl. The Help info in MS Access 2010 is very slim to nonexistant on this subject.

...Is that possible?...

Probably not. There are limited options within the properties of Buttons within the Navigation Control. I would familiarize yourself with these properties to answer your own question.

As for why you are not getting responses is, there are not many members here with experience in Navigation Controls. I am one of those that does not have experience, other than fumbling around with them at the time they were first introduced.

I can do searches on the web for VBA examples if you wish.

Thanks for the reply. I really like the navigation control just wish they had better Help info. I have tried Google but I don't get much better response, I guess I'll do more experimenting with the NC. Thanks

Here are some ideas to consider as you research the subject...

Rename the form, subforms, NavControl, Nav Buttons in a way to help you understand what each object is.

Get familiar with each control's properties and their limitations (Buttons, Tabs, Etc.)

Expect limitations when using VBA. Here is syntax to set value of an unbound textbox within Nav Control

Forms!frmNavForm1.NavigationSubform.Form.txtSample.Value = 12

However this will not work.

Forms!frmNavForm1.NavigationSubform.Form.txtSample.SetFocus

My experience is that Navigation Controls do not like VBA and prefer Macros.
You can use VBA to get stuff done and set properties
Docmd.BrowseTo
ObjectName:
PathToSubformControl:
WhereCondition:

It may be better to create Macros. The Nav Control's limitations seem to be on par with limitations of Macros
