Change Colour Of Entry To Differentiate Between Students And Parents Results?
Oct 7, 2011
I have a large database of students and parents which charts their weight, waist circ., lifestyle etc. When I then create reports, is it possible to change the colour of the entry so that I can differentiate between students and parents results? In other words, can I have all student entries in red and all parents in black, for example? At the moment, when I try to change the colour of one of these, the entire column changes to that colour and I don't know how to amend my reports to do this. Please see attached.
I have an unbound listbox on a form which displays a list of staff, both past and present, based on an SQL query.
I want to be able to differentiate between current and past staff using different colors, i.e. Black text for current employees and red for employees who have left, based on a field (True/False) in the original staff table.
I use forms to display client info and i would like to know if the following is possible, and if so, how ?
When a clients installation date is older than 6months old (date is in a text box) i would like the form's background to change colour for that paticular client.
eg/ if the clients installation date was 7 months ago, the form's background would change red - but only to that client.
Ok what I would like to do is have a switchboard with a number of command buttons on, each button opens to a form with a few fields within them.
Is it possible for the initial switchboard labels to be 'red', then as the related form is opened and populated the switchboard label turns 'amber' and once the form is complete the switchboard label is 'green'. See example piccie attached, to get a better understanding!
This is to enable multiple users to see at a glance the status of various jobs.
If anyone knows how I can go about this or suggest any alternatives, I'm open to suggestion.
...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!
I've been working on a database for quite a while now, and i've now given it out for testing, and i've come across a little problem. One of the users is colour blind, and the colour theme i've used throughout this database is causing him problems.
I have a function that can single him out when he logs in, question is, is there a way i can change the font colour for the whole database in one go through code??
I have around 12 forms with many controls and labels, i'm kind of hoping i don't have to name each control and label separately to change the font colour.
Please tell me that there’s some clever piece of code that can change the font colour on a form in one hit…..
I have a problem where the user has certain contraints in colour.
I am trying to change all the colours of labels in the database to purple.
Is there any way to declare it once in the database and all label statements will pick up the new colour. Saves me going through every form. Also there are other users who want to use the database with black.
First please accept my apologies if this has been done before. In the attached database I am going to have a form which is continous what I am looking to do is change the colour of the box which is in the background to the associated colour from the quote table for example
if they choose water then it will look at the TBLQuoteType and change the box colour to the colour which has been assigned to that value.
Hope this explains it ok I will continue to try and figure it out but I thought I could also use your expert knowledge.
Im trying to change the background colour of some fields if the value is null or missing, but I'm not quite sure how to handle the coding. The fields in question are title, given name and surname, and if they are empty I want to change the background colour to highlight to users that they need to collect this information. Any help that you can provide would be great!
Is it possible to get Access to automatically change the colour in a form field via code etc. My problem is that i would like to easily pick/see any out of date quotations for my customers, so when the quotation date is 30 days old the text changes to red. Any advice would be gratefully received.
I have a report which i am trying to format, I want every other row's details to alternate colour which i have done (See below)
I also have on my report, a checkbox and a text feild (not sure if i could use a rectangle and format that instead , it doesn't do anything i just need it to change colour)
chkbox name = "chkClean" Text box name = "txtclean"
I just want the back colour to go red if the check box is true and white if the check box is false
Please help

I have a bar graph on a report in ms access that represents 4 different risks ie count on the y axis and risk type on the x axis (low, moderate high and extreme)
Question: How do i get the each bar to automatically represent the colour based on the risk colours below?
Low: Green Moderate : Blue High : Yellow Extreme: Red
Hello fellow programmers, I have a tricky one for you. We have decided to split our local City up into different zones. Giving each zone a number and assigning it a colour. I have a form with all the customers who want jobs done in different parts of the city. This form has a text box on it called: Zone - (which has a 3 digit number it it). I want the colour of the text box to change depending on the Zone number, in the continuous Form view. So all the customers living in Zone=111, will have a Red background colour (color), all living in Zone=222 will have a Green background colour. I know conditional formatting through the properties of the Form can be used, but it only allows me to select 3 different situations. I have many more than 3 colours that I want to assign. I am working on a VB module to define what colour numbers from the MS Access Colour Map will be assigned to each Zone number. How can I now apply this module to the form, so when it opens, all the customers who live in Zone=111 will have a Red coloured background, those living in Zone=222 will have a green colour background, etc?
If it is possible to change the format properties of a menu/toolbar could someone please point me in the direction of some guidance/ let me know how to go about it I would appreciate it.
Specifically I'm trying to change the menu bar's /database window's property to match my forms (and company branding).
I've Googled various phrases in both UK and US spellings (to be on the safe side) and searched a few forums (this one included) and cannot find much beyond creating customised menu/tool bars.
Is it possible to change the colour of the text in a table. For example the word "URGENT" is selected from a combo box, and when viewed in the table it appears red.
Hi I am running Access 97 and I was wondering if it was possible to change the colour(background or text) of a single record based on an attribute
I was hoping that my subform, viewing all of the records (datasheet) would look like this based on Task Des column eg Condition = red, Awaiting = Blue (Below is ment to look like an access datasheet view)
Property No | Task Des | MCU/ROL PN1234/DA1 | Condtion | MCU PN1235/DA2 | Condtion | ROL PN1994/DA1 | Awaiting | MCU
I have a form with two textboxes that get their values from two different queries that counts records from table. If textbox1.value equals texbox2.value the textbox2.value back ground colour is green. If they are not equal textbox2.value goes red. Itried with using conditional formatting, but it doesn't work all the time as the form is not updating when it is opened.
I am experiencing a problem in MS Access 2013. I have a form which was working just fine until now. It has form labels in Calibri font and their font colour is one shade lighter than black. Today, I changed the font colour of the form labels to be Automatic - black (shows as 'Text 1' colour in the form properties). I did this in Design view.
I find that when I switch to layout view, the font of the labels appears as Century Gothic. This is the font that appears in the Form view. So while the font colour is correctly changed, the font name is not what I had set in the Design view. When I go back to the Design view, and change the font colour back to the original colour which was one shade lighter than black (Text 1, Lighter 50%), the font is correct in the Layout view and the Form view (Calibri).
So it seems that there is some sort of binding between the font colour (black) and the font name (Century Gothic). When I change the font colour, the font also changes. When I restore the original colour (one shade lighter than black), the font Calibri is correctly retained.

I want your thoughts on this: Do you feel that because your parents may have supported you when you were younger, that you "owe" it to them to support them now?
(Pay the bills they run up etc, just because they did it for you when you were younger and unable to work)
The below isn't the actual use but it is easier to explain like this...
I have a system set up on access and I have a front page (form) where I can enter the reference number (1141#2) of a building (YELDR for example).
This then fills in information in the other fields on the front page. For example address, number of doors and entry codes.
My problem is that this only displays one door and one entry code. I need it to display all doors and all entry codes so that I can just type in my reference number and have something that looks like the below but for all of them. It works fine at the moment but only for one of the results when there can be up to 10.
Reference No. YEDJR <---------------- I ENTER THIS
Address - high Street - London - UK <-------------- All of these fields are populated using the query
Doors - Green - front <-------------- All of these fields are populated using the query - Red - side <-------------- All of these fields are populated using the query - Orange - back <-------------- All of these fields are populated using the query
Codes - 10111 <-------------- All of these fields are populated using the query - 10221 <-------------- All of these fields are populated using the query - 10256 <-------------- All of these fields are populated using the query
I know this is probably nowhere near enough information but is this possible? I don't know SQL so i would have to use the designer.
This is the SQL which I have at the moment though (I didn't write it i just copied this from design view on the query)
Code:
SELECT [Site Info Data].[1141 #2], [Site Info Data].[1141 #2], [Site Info Data].[Site 2 Name], [Site Info Data].freq, [Site Info Data].status, [Site Info Data].[Site 2 Owner], [Site Info Data].[NGR #2], [Site Info Data].[Address #2], [Site Info Data].[Postcode S2], [Site Info Data].[Dish size #2], [Site Info Data].[Dish height #2], [Site Info Data].[Dish Bearing #2], [Site Info Data].RCLO FROM [Site Info Data] WHERE ((([Site Info Data].[1141 #2]) Like [Forms]![Front Page]![txt1141] And ([Site Info Data].[1141 #2]) Like [Forms]![Front Page]![txt1141] And ([Site Info Data].[1141 #2]) Like [Forms]![Front Page]![txt1141]));
Parents can have one or more children. I want to return the youngest child of those parents with more than one child.I have [QryParent&children] that returns all the parents and all the children. I have used this as a sub query in [QryParents>1child]. This uses "In (SELECT [ParentsId] FROM [QryParent&children] As Tmp GROUP BY [ParentsId] HAVING Count(*)>1 )" as the criteria in the ParentId. This returns all parents with more than one child and gives the name and DOB of the child.I now want to return just the youngest child for each parent.An ideas?
