Change Backcolor Of 'built' Control Number

Dec 20, 2005

I have a randomized table named tblRandomBoxes with the following data:

ID RandomID
1 4
2 5
3 2
4 6
5 1
6 3

I have 6 command buttons named command1,command2,command3, etc. and 6 Labels named Label1,Label2, Label3, etc. On Click of each command button, I want to lookup the ID based on the RandomID and set the backcolor of that label number to a different color.

ie) on command1 click me.Label4.backcolor = 39835

How can I 'build' the label number with the lookup? Here's the code I'm trying, but it doesn't recognize my 'built' label number:


Private Sub command1_Click()
Dim ctl As Control
ctl = "Label" & DLookup("ID", "tblRandomBoxes", "RandomID = 1")
Me.ctl.BackColor = 39835
End Sub

Thanks,

Sup

Change The Built-in Right-click Event Of An ActiveX Control

Mar 13, 2008

I am using an active x control that when you right click on it, it automatically pops up an "About" box showing information about the control. I wouldn't object to this, but I need to use the right mouse down event for another purpose in my program. So far I have discovered that the code I put in the the event works, but only after the "About" box pops up. Is there anyway to cancel or prevent the popup? The reason that I need the right mouse down event is because is that I am already using the left mouse double click event, and I can't use the left mouse down event because then it always fires before the left mouse double click event. This control doesn't have any single click events. Ideas?

General :: Conditional Formatting - Change Backcolor Of Process If Status Field Contains Certain Text

Jan 8, 2014

I have a subform with two fields [status] and [process], i am trying to get the backcolor of procces to change to red if the status field contains the text "expired".

I have tried vba. plced on the after update

if me.status = "expired" then
me.process.backcolor = vbred
else me.process backcolor = vbwhite
end if
this

Changes the color of the field [process] but also all process field colors to red even if the status field does not contain "expired".

I think conditional formatting is the way to go but i think i need an expression to complete this.

General :: Auto Number PK Change Starting Number?

Dec 18, 2013

I have a table with an auto number PK. This table will contain orders. I'd like to use the PK from this table as the Invoice number on the invoice. I'd like to have it start at a number other than "1" just because it looks better on an invoice. I don't know how to do this. I looked at the table design to see if there were options available to me there but couldn't find anything. Is it possible? (I do not know how to use code.)

Just wanted a little help please. I have about 100 option boxes on a form and I want to be able to change the names of the option box and its label. I want to name them from 1 to 100 sequentially. (i.e. option1, option2 ...).

When I create the controls it automatically names them option0, option2 etc. and label3, label5 etc.

I was going to change them via some code but I don’t know how to refer to a control in a form from design view.

Can anyone help please?

Change Focus On Tab Control

Oct 17, 2006

I have a form with 2 tabs and a sub form on each of those tabs. form1, subformA, subformB on tab control - tabctrl - pageA, pageB. How can i set focus from one tab to another without actually clicking the tab?

I tried this:

TabCtl.Pages("page2").SetFocus

It's comming up with an error - "object required"

I also tried:

page.2.setfocus and that's comming up with an error that it's wrong syntax.

I also tried:

formMyForm.page2.setfocus and that says object required as well.

Change Color Of Active Control

Apr 12, 2005

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.

Control Source On Report Won't Change

Sep 10, 2004

I have a report with subreports contained in it. Each subreport gets it's data from a different table.

I noticed subreport 1,2,3,4 are pulling the data from their corresponding tables. However, subreport 5,6, and 7 are pulling their data from the table relating to subreport 1.

I've checked the subreports themselves. They are referencing their own tables if I open them individually but not when opening the main report.

The report names all seem to be correct.

I've never seen anything like this before. Does anyone have some ideas??

Thanks.

Change Color Of Whole Line If Condition Yields True Of One Control

May 28, 2013

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.

Forms :: Custom Bar Chart Using Rectangles - Control Height Change Direction

Feb 10, 2014

I am trying to make something like custom bar chart on a form using rectangles. I made 4 rectangles (BarBZ, BarBA, BarKI and BarMA) and have the following code:

Code:

Dim PctBZ As Double
Dim PctBA As Double
Dim PctKI As Double
Dim PctMA As Double
PctBZ = Me.BZ / (Me.BZ + Me.BA + Me.KI + Me.MA)

[Code] ....

It works perfectly except... the rectangles grow/shrink downwards and not upwards. As a result the bars are aligned to top, while I would like to have them aligned to bottom.
