Please can someone tell me how to change the back colour of a control when it has the focus and then revert to the original colour when it loses it. I have 35 controls on my form, so I need a function, rather than changing the colour with a subroutine evey time.
I have searched the site and haven't found whatI want-though I'm sure this question has been asked before.
Is there a way to change the back color of an active field in a form? Meaning, when I tab through my form and the field I tab to becomes active, the field turns white. This poses a problem because my form back color is black and my field text is white. When the field is active, I can't see the value in the field due to the back color defaulting to white. Does this make sense? Is there a way to change it?

The latter has two conditions: If it is >=now() to be the font is RED and if <=Now() that the font is GREEN
Now, what I need is that pressing the CheckBox, ignore both conditions and that the font color is set GRAY
How do I conditionally change the Back Color and Alternate Back Color based on the value of notes.FollowUpDate? I have a continuous form using the following code:
Code:
Private Sub b_all_past_Click()
Me.resultsFrame.SourceObject = "FollowUp_bystaff"
Me.resultsFrame.Form.RecordSource = "SELECT * From notes WHERE (((Notes.FollowUpDate) < Date()+1) And ((Notes.followup_person_id) = GetCurrentUserId()))ORDER BY notes.priority,(notes.FollowUpDate) DESC;" '
End Sub
I know you can use a "Conditional format" to change a color of a control in a report. What I am trying to do is change the whole line if a condition yields "True" of one control. I did it once before, but oops I didn't save my work. I am using the format [Entity]![IT]. Where "Entity" is either the department or vendor, and "IT" is for the IT department. I want the control "Name" to change color if "Entity" is true if "IT" is the data.

Just in case you may ask why not add the field to the continuos form is that the issues and be quite lengthy and there may be lots of serial numbers on the form

I have built an automated procedure in VBA Access 2000 that is now great (thanks to a lot of downloaded help from this forum). I use the MSCOMM active-x control to talk to an instrument via the serial port.
Question: Is that control only working because I also have VB6 installed on this same computer? It seems to me that I tried something like this a year ago and could not get MSCOMM to work in Access, but at the same time, I didn't have great MSCOMM examples to go by. I do now as I could rob them from other programs my company has written in VB6.
I have both VB6 and Access 2000, but chose to develope this procedure in Accesss because of the heavy amount of data to store (and I know VBA much better than I do VB6). I thought Access is a natural. But now I am wondering if I will have problems distriubuting this database to other service offices that may not have a machine with VB6 on it?
Do they need just plot MSCOMM32.OCX in to their system32 directory?? :confused:
Please can someone advise me how I can link the date which I select in the calendar control to a date field in the form. I want to use the calendar instead of a combo box.
It's probably simple....but then so am I!
Help appreciated

Hi,
I have an Access database built by someone else and I need to make a change.
The database works fine on the client machines but does not work on my Development PC.
What happens is when it starts up I get the initial program screen but when I try to launch any data form I get the title error messge.
However, It does however work on an older PC I have here (which has the same configuration).
I am running Windows XP with Office 2003 - this is the same thing that both the client and other PC have.
In general Access works fine on the new PC and there are no specific
Any thoughts on whats going on? I want to use the Development PC as the old one is very slow and has basically been retired.
Thanks
Could anyone point me in the right direction re the Crystal Reports Active X viewer control and access forms. I loaded it onto a form in access 2000, but can't seem to find any meaningfull properties I can manipulate (especially the report source). I am thinking it works like any other active x control and I can manipulate properties through code, however, the main property I would think I need (source report) does not seem to exist. I have Crystal 10.0 loaded on my system.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a form where the user clicks a button (button 1) to open a modal form, the user then enters data into this form and clicks close.
Then back in the first form I need to find which control had focus before (button 1) was clicked.
Screen.PreviousControl returns a control on the modal form.
I hope its easy like Forms!FirstForm.PreviousControl but I can't seem to find it!
Essentially I have a form_A with several tab's and then one list control box in each of those tabs. At present if you double click on any item within the control boxes your taken to another form_B with info about that item and when you close that from down again if refreshes form_A.
Is it possible to only refresh the specific list control box that is active instead of refreshing the whole form ?
I'm trying to add some life to my form by using some different colors, but I can't figure out how to change the color of a button. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks

I have a Data Access Page that I need some help with some of the code.
I need to do a comparison to see if the TimeStamp Control is less than one hour old. If it is, it should have the background turn red. If not it should stay white.
Form = BLine_Messaging
Control = TimeStamp
Code:<SCRIPT language=vbscript event=onload or=window><!--If (BLine_Messaging.TimeStamp.value > DateAdd("H", -1, Date)) THEN BLine_Messaging.style.backgroundColor="white"else BLine_Messaging.style.backgroundColor="red"end if --></SCRIPT>
I have a similar problem, I'm fairly new to ACCESS and am learning it is vastly different than EXCEL that we use (we are upgrading to ACCESS to track our "in" and "out". I have set up a ACCESS database to track our barge loading and pumping, on the delay we enter reason for the delay but if no delay occurs it is left blank. How can I get the field to change colors if information is entered and left alone if none is entered.

I have installed Windows 10 & Office 13.The Background color of MS Access 13 is white in color which is irritating. Is there a way to change the background color?
View 7 Replies View RelatedQuick question here I hope.
I've got a little box covering up a drop down arrow on a combo control that resides on a tab control. The problem is that, since the Back Color property isn't available for a tab control, I have no idea what color it is...which is what the color of my box object (rectangle technically) needs to be so as to blend in. It looks a little garrish with it standing out there...
Any ideas what the default color of the tab page background is? Using Access 2003.
Thanks

Hi all,
Using Access 2003, WinXP SP2.
I have a form with the standard light grey background. I insert a tab control, and the default back color is white. I set the BackStyle to Transparent, and it still displays as white.
Am I missing something here, I want the back color of the tab control to be the same as my form.
Now, what's really odd, is in this project it creates tab controls as white, but if I open an old project of mine, it creates tab controls with the same light grey back ground of the form.
Any help?
TIA

I believe thats the proper word for it. Attached is a screenshot of a section of the database that I have started working on. It is to track placement for a college. Its my first ever and I am fairly good at making things look good, but as far as function - I am terrible.
I can change the raised box that the tab control sits on to a dark maroon when someone has a felony (so it notifies the user of this status)
Private Sub Form_Current()
If [Felony] = True Then
Felonybox.BackStyle = 1
Felonybox.BackColor = RGB(159, 19, 44)
Else
Felonybox.BackStyle = 1
Felonybox.BackColor = RGB(208, 207, 202)
End If
End Sub
I also have this done on After_Update.
I am trying to change the font on the Tab Control to Red when this occurs as well (only change the 'Criminal History CONFIDENTIAL' to red). I can not find this option anywhere, is this something that has been done or CAN be done?

How do I change the background color of a tab or can you? The form that I am looking at has a tab button, but it looks like a normal form for the background. It has the grid and has a color for the background. I have designed a new form and added a tab control. But the background is grey and I would like to change it. Please help, if you can. Thanks.
View 1 Replies View Related:confused: <b>Hi all, can Access highlight the selected rows in table just like the spreadsheet in Excel??
Many thanks,
I have a report card program that I use in my classroom. The program calculates letter grades for various sub categories.
For example, under the Primary Category Math, the computer will calculate a letter grade based on assignment scores and place the grade into a combo box for the sub category "Able to use a graphing calculator."
If I override the grade the program calculated for a student, I would like the text in the combo box to change to red for that student only. Then I can go back and quickly see which grades I have manually changed.
I just cannot seem to figure out the logic to use VBA that would check to see if a user has changed individual combo boxes.
Thanks ahead of time for any ideas.
