What I'm trying to do is make it so that a certain area of my Detail area in my report changes colors based on whether or not a field name for each record is set to "Yes". The effect I wanted was produced easily enough by creating a Rectangle, coloring it Red, and setting it to not visible.
Putting RedBox.Visible = True in the Report On Load procedure works just fine. The problem I am having is attaching a condition to it.
Code:
If Me.FormatBox.Value = "Yes" Then RedBox.Visible = True End If
This compiles ok, but doesnt do anything to the actual report. Will it not work because the report has x amount of FormatBox's because it gets replicated for each record that is displayed? I should also note that I tried using a DL Lookup within my If statement and that didnt work either. That just colors all the boxes red and ignores the check.
Code: Dim TestVar As String TestVar = DLookup("Priority", "Table_Lancaster_Dispatch", "Priority = 'Yes'") If TestVar = "Yes" Then RedBox.Visible = True End If
I have created a cross tab to extract pipeline and sales for Q1 2014, Q2 2014, Q3 2014 & Q4 2014... the user can select the quater from a multivalued text box...
Now for the final output, have created another query which pull the above four quarter in each column from the cross tab...now the problem arises when i change the quarter to Q2 2014, Q3 2014, Q4 2014 & Q1 2014..it gives an error "Microsoft office Access database does not recognizes "Query name" as a valid field name or expression".
The error is because the second layer of query does not identifies Q1 2014.
How do i make access change the column automatically when the Q1 changes to Q2...

In access report, I'm trying to change color of text in specific records based on the true/false value in another record. Works in forms using conditional formatting, but won't seem to work in a report.

I am trying to change the button color on a subform if a related form data changes.Main form is products with a continuous subform with serial numbers of products i.e, serial number, location, price and a button to add addtional issues if there are any for this particular serial number (this will open up another form related to the serial number so I can add an issues if there are any).The reason I would like the button to be a different color is so I can quickly see if there are any additional notes been added to the serial number. 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'm getting seriously frustrated with Access now so I hope some of you can help me out.
I have made an access application to enter various types of products (eg paint, tools, glue etc). The organization I have built this for has asked me to create a report which can be used as a catalogue of all their products.
They want this report to keep different categories of products in different sections. So say the paints will go into a section with an orange background and the tools have a blue background. I thought I could just let it print a number of reports (one for each type of product) however this will give problems with the page numbering and indexes etc.
Anyone have any ideas how I can let the lay-out (mainly colors) change if a new category kicks in and also force this category to start on a new page? Any help is very much appreciated!

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?
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.
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.
What I want is in the combo box, I have a couple of options, say 1,2 and 3. And I want the combo box to come up with different color when different option is selected.
I thought I have found out a way, with the following code to onClick:
If me.field.text = "1" Then me.field.backcolor = 255
The problem is, it's being shown on a continuous form. And it changes the color on all the records. not just the one I am on.
