I've got a label in a report which I'd like to have a bottom border only. Looking in the property sheet I don't seem to see this option (nor in the ribbon). Is there a way to do it other than with a line control? I'd like to have it attached to the actual border of the label . . .
View RepliesUsing Access 2010. I have a form on which I've placed a simple label. I try to set the label border color to black but it shows grey. I can set the border color to #000000 and it's grey. I set it to #000001 and it shows black as expected.
I'm thinking it has something to do with the themes, but shouldn't an exact color code show as expected? As a new member (<10 posts) I can't post an actual link, but here's the text of the location: [URL] ....
...but I'v got a picture and I want to put a red box behind it so the picture looks like it has red borders, the problem is that the box always appears above the picture, I'm sure there must be a way to prioritize them or something but I can't find it!
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have n horizontal labels named Label_1 to Label_n. I'd like to assign values to the label captions by using a loop.
Something like:
For i = 1 To n
Set Label_i.Caption = i
End
However, this doesn't work. Message "Object required".
Any suggestions?
I have a form which I use for many different tasks, in order to save database size, reuse code and keep things at their simplest.
Sometimes, I'll click a button to open the form which will only show specific filtered data in "Form" view, using a default "Dialog" border style.
Sometimes, I click another button which opens the same form, filters different data and displays the form in "DataSheet" view, but this time, I want the borderstyle to be "Sizable".
What I need is a line of VB code which will force the form to open-up with "Sizable" borderstyle, regardless of the form's Design view settings.
Something that would look like this (which obviously doesn't work):
Forms!frmFormName.Borderstyle = sizable
Does anyone have suggestions?
I have a box with age in called [agecalc]. I want to change the border of the box to red to indicate they are a Juvenile if under the age of 17.I already have some code to write the text, I just need to change the border of this text box called agebox
=IIf([agecalc]<=17,"Juvenile!!")
no problem about setting a different border color for a single textbox (or combobox or listbox) which has focus. How about to change, with a small and fast VBA code avoiding to write code for each textbox, the border color (ora other textbox properties) for a many controls in a form?
I tried using 'For each ctrl in Form....', but I got only bad results. All my control are within differente pages in TAB control.
I would like to change color of border button on mouseover event. How it to do?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a report, and the "reason" field is one that can grow as needed. The following string is in the field: "MISSING IMPLEMENTATION PLAN, MISSING SERVICE LOGS FOR DATE OF SERVICE". I bolded MISSING, where the space hits the border. My standard setting for the border style is Transparent, and the space is causing the growing to not work properly. TransparentBorder.pdf shows the incorrect growing. When I change the border style to Solid, the growing works correctly, as shown in the SolidBorder.pdf file.why the growing is not working properly with the Transparent border, but does work correctly with the Solid border?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to highligh a subform textbox a yellow color on focus. However it is highlighting every textbox in that field as it is a continuous form therefore they are all named ThisCount.
Is there a way to highlight just the specific textbox that I am in. I have tried.
Code:
Me.ThisCount.BorderColor =RGB(255, 215, 0) 'gold
Me.ThisCount.BorderWidth =3
and tried
Code:
Dim ctlCurrentControl As Control
Dim strControlName As String
Set ctlCurrentControl = Screen.ActiveControl
strControlName = ctlCurrentControl.Name
Set ctlCurrentControl = Screen.ActiveControl
ctlCurrentControl.BorderColor = RGB(255, 215, 0) 'gold

Hi all! I have a tough problem I was hoping I could get some help with:
I would like to create a recordset based on the "middle" 50% of the data. I need to chop 25% off the top of the data, AND 25% off the bottom of the data.
Any ideas?
I have some machine data to display showing running speeds. This is logged every minute when the machine is running but not when stopped.
how do I display a bar graph with a timescale along the bottom of minutes showing gaps when the mchine is down. :confused:
I have a database with information on carriers, lanes, and prices.
I need to choose the cheapest 3 carriers for each lane.
The lanes are either 3-digit zip code to 3-digit zip code or state to state
(410-300 or CA-GA, etc.)
So for each of these lanes, I need to find the 3 cheapest carriers all
in one query.
So the resulting table should look like:
Lane Carrier Price
..........
TN-FL Schneider $50
TN-FL JB Hunt $66
TN-FL Dart $78
646-303 JB Hunt $77
etc.....
Except of course in columns :) Any ideas on how to do this? Thanks in advance!
In the tutorial whose link I have shown below: URL....The graphs that I create from the tutorial always have the legend on the right side. I would rather have the legend running along the bottom of the graph. I have two questions :
1. The graphs that I have already created, how can I get the legend to move down to the bottom of the graph? What command can I use?
2. When creating new graphs how do I make the legend go on the bottom of the graph and not the right side.
I have imported a table into a form and would like to know how to remove the navigation options from the bottom of the table, I know you can do it for the form but can you do it for a table contained in a form.

I have created a query which sorts store information by potential opening dates...however, some of the stores are so new there are no potential opening dates as yet.
I would like the stores with blank opening dates to appear at the bottom but when sorting by ascending (which is what I need) these blank dates appear at the top... is there any way around this?
thanks
Ok, I have pesky solid line at the bottom of one field (bottom of the field with 6.80 in it..
I cannot figure out where it has come from or how to get rid of it!
Here's the properties for that particular field...
When I delete the column it appears somewhere else...
I have reports that total the figures in a column and displays the total at the bottom of the column. I would like to display the total at the top of the column since the length of the column continues to grow and I would like to see that total before scrolling down to view the various individual entries.
No matter how I try the =count(x) always shows an error. Is it not possible to display the total figure at the top of a column instead of at the bottom?
Is there a way of formulating statistics at the bottom of a report?
Heres what i have.
The report pulls Rank, Last Name, First Name, Assigned weapon, Weapon qualification date. After 6 months i use conditional formatting to highlight the soldiers qualification date red. Im in the military that's why im tracking all this, but I need figures to report to higher, and at the bottom i would like it to show, "#Qualified", "#UnQualified","% Qualified", "% Unqualified", "#Expired","%Expired"
I have a sub-report and the last row is highlight, however, there seems to be extra spacing after the last row. I removed all report/page header/footer so all what's left is the Detail section but I still have this white space after the last row.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm finishing off a database project and would like to do some final tidying up. I'm using subforms on some forms and these subforms show a black line on the bottom edge, I would like it to be white so it blends in with the back and the user doesn't know it's a subform.
Is there any way to do this?
I have a continuous pop up form which, at the most, will contain about 10 records. The ten records take up less than half the screen space - but there is a bottom half to the form - even though there is nothing there. How can I get rid of the unused space on my form?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am using MS Access 2003.I have a report whose Detail band contains a zero-height Comment field positioned at the bottom of the other single row of fields. It has Can Grow = Yes, so it sits waiting to grow if there's any data in this Comment field.
However, when this report prints, if the Comment field just "happens" to straddle two pages, it gets positioned only on the first page and gets cut off in the process. (See attachment 2.) Ideally, the entire field should display on the second page instead.
If I adjust the margins in Page Setup, I can fix this on this particular report. However, depending on the data being reported, these new margin settings can create a problem for the same report with different data. (All depends on where the Comment falls.)I'd like the report to work consistently, no matter the data or margins.
I have some columns with hours. I want to simply display the total below each column. I would like to do this in the query results and in the reports that I create.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIn my current database there seems to be two different types of borders in my pop-up forms! The best way to explain it is that some forms will have the Access style border while others have the glass style border that you see in windows. I can't seem to find any settings that will change this or even determine what causes it.
View 4 Replies View RelatedApologies if this is an obvious one but is it possible to hide this:
"Record:1 out of 34" and the arrow buttons at the bottm of a form(s)?
I would rather use my own Next Record and Previous Record buttons so it would dieal to disable/hide these arrow buttons.
Many thanks for your assistance in advance,
Paul.
