Nov 18, 2005Hi all,
Is it possible to have different colour fonts in forms automatically?
i want the user to add numerical data into the form but the middle numbers must automatically be coloured red. these numbers are then matched to stickers in the same format for easy identification.
it should look like this 878802
any suggestions?
Many Thanks
Sam
Scroll Bar Colours
Jun 23, 2005Is it possible to change the colour of scroll bars in subForms?
Seems odd that you can easily customise all the colours, yet have to settle with a horrible looking grey scroll bar!
Any help or a 'work-a-around' to the problem would be welcomed.
Thanks
Row Colours In Report
Oct 25, 2004I got the following code from:-
http://www.microsoft-accesssolutions.co.uk/alternate_row_colours.htm
This is to give me alternating row colours in report detail section but cannot make it work.
Please could someone tell me where I am going wrong?
Not sure where to put the bit "Private m_RowCount As Long"
The Rest apparently goes in the report detail section OnFormat event.
Private m_RowCount As Long
Private Sub Detail_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer)
m_RowCount = m_RowCount + 1
If m_RowCount / 2 = CLng(m_RowCount / 2) Then
Me.Detail.BackColor = 15263976 'Change value to the color you desire
Else
Me.Detail.BackColor = 14811135 'Change value to the color you desire
End If
End Sub
Thank you Guys and Gals.
Access And Form Colours
Feb 28, 2005Hi there,
I have being creating some forms with Access 00/02 and I have come across one for me particular strange and somehow annoying item “Colours”.
My question here now is, how would it be possible to use instead of the say ”Back Color: 65280 numbering” a colour scheme similar use in web design i.e. hexadecimal or where at least could I find a list of colour numbering??? as used in Access.
Thanks aktell
Alternative Colours In A Form
Mar 15, 2005Hi I've got some code from http://www.lebans.com/alternatecolordetailsection.htm
It allows for alternate bands of color to be displayed for alternative records in Forms in Continuous View. I've looked in this forum for other alternatives to this but the only ones that are available change the background of a control rather that display a whole row that is filled with colour. So therefore the background of the row is say in red, the background of the text controls are in red.
I've managed to put the code into my form and download the class. The only problem is that I can't seem to set the colour in the actual class file - it's all a little bit confusing! Can you help? Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee........... :D
You can download the sample database from http://www.lebans.com/alternatecolordetailsection.htm

Colours In Continuous Form
Dec 20, 2006Hi,
I have a continuous form which has a combo box limited to green, blue, yellow, red, purple and N/A (for blank).
It is possible to make the back ground colour = what is entered into the combo box?
I have been searching and searching and have seen conditional formatting everywhere but it wont help as i need 6 options. I only have basic VB skills and usually can only hack and change not write from scratch:o
Anyone able to help me please.

Background Colours On Forms Other Than Normal Options
Aug 1, 2005I'm wanting to get a very, very pale shade of gray as the background colour for an Access form, as well as for several text boxes on it. This is so that users can distinguish editable regions (white bgs) from uneditable ones (light gray bgs).
The default colours that pop up in the menu choices are too dark for this. I've tried using a tiled image for the background of the form, which works fine. But I'd like my uneditable textboxes to be selectable (so users can copy data) whilst being that colour too, which can't be done.
Therefore I'm looking for either the number code for a very very light gray colour (Access' default lightest is "12632256") or some sort of translator tool to let me know how on earth these numbers relate to anything in computing -- I mean, what do those numbers represent? Are they html=no, hex codes=no, rgb values, no... I mean, how is Access coming up with those numbers? I've tried just getting a light gray using trial and error and can't figure it out (even ended up with lime green at one point - very nice on the eyes lol).
Anyone shed some light on this? :rolleyes: :D

Forms :: Choose Custom Colours With Conditional Formatting
Sep 6, 2013I'm using access 2003. I've got a textbox placed ontop of an image that I want to make it seem to disappear on a conditional format.
The back color property of the textbox I want to set is "13160660". How do I choose this colour when applying conditional formatting as I only seem to be able to choose from the swatch of 40 default colours and no option to define custom colours.
Forms :: Allow User To Change Form Colours And Captions Each Year
Jul 28, 2014My database has a front end that uses forms to allow the user to navigate within it, each year we create a new database which is based on the previous year's database but with all the variable information removed.
Within the database each form has a caption that starts with '2014-15' then goes on to say the form name.
Most of my forms also have a yellow background, (last year it was pink).
Both these areas were set up so that each year our users can distinguish between our databases, as they may have last years and this years open at the same time.
What I would like if possible is to know whether I can get a user to change both these things from within a form. So something along the lines of a button that when clicked would check all form captions and if within the caption it finds 2014-15 then change it to 2015-16 (or whatever the user specifies) but keep the rest of the caption.
I would also want the same type of thing to happen with the colour so again within the background of the forms, if you find colour X then replace it with colour Y.
If this can't be done within a front end form, then could it be done behind the scenes, and if so how would I go about doing it?
