I have a continuous form in Access 2003 listing products for return for a customers. I am in the process of creating a completion form which will just have the product number, model number and then a command button called complete.
What I'm doing is have it so when the person clicks the button it adds a value to a field saying Complete. OK. But, what I then want it to do is for any record thats associated with this customer where the field = complete to have the command button gray out.
Is this possible? I know I can conditional format a text box to do this but can't see a way to do it with a command button? Any ideas?
I have though of layering a transparent button and having a textbox behind this with complete in and having this change colour but not sure if thats the best way?
I have a startup splash screen with a "OK" button, similar to Nortwind database. The OK button works as far as opening my switchboard page. But how do I get the Splash screen to close after I click the OK button? So I can see my switchboard page.
I am trying to place some code in the "expression is" section of conditional formatting. Need some help converting from code to conditional formatting format.
I have set up a check box "Check83" next to a standard control box "Title(O)". Below is the code I am currently using. This code is in the after update section of the check box, and in the oncurrent section of the form.
This code turns the box blue when I click the check box.
Private Sub Check83_AfterUpdate() If Me.Check83 Then Me.[Title(O)].BackColor = vbBlue Else Me.[Title(O)].BackColor = vbWhite End If End Sub
My form has 46 records and all have check boxes linked to the control box with the code above. When the box is blue in record 1, I don't want there to be a blue box in record 2. Can't figure out how to do this. Tried to do in with code, but failed. Thought it may be possible using conditional formatting.
Because they are more efficient, I am using hyperlinks to connect my forms. I want to be able to deactivate hyperlinks based on criteria that are selected.
I have a report with a list of employee names (and other information). A handful of them need to be a different color (other than default). There will always be more than 3, so I can't use the conditional formatting tool.
Could some kind person out there help me out please? I have been 'dabbling in' the area of "conditional formatting", particularly in the area of changing the colour of my active form based on the result of whats input on a text box. I have had some success in this area but where I am getting confused is getting the colour of my form to change on the basis of what is entered into a text box control that does not match exactly. My form background changes to the required colour when its value is 'set exactly' or matches, but what I am trying to achieve is to change it according to the first letter of entry regardless of what follows thereafter? It always starts with a letter, either a ‘D’ or ‘V’ to indicate whether its ‘Vital’ or ‘Desirable’ and is subsequently followed by no more than 6 numbers and finally a letter. Basically I need my form to change colour based on the whether it is either a ‘V’ or a ‘D’ irrespective of what follows???
What I have been using so far is:
Private Sub Model_Number_AfterUpdate() If Me.Part_Number = "V111145K" Then Me.Section(acDetail).BackColor = 12632256 'Light Red Else Me.Section(acDetail).BackColor = 8421631 'Blah Gray End If End Sub
Private Sub Form_Current() If Me.Part_Number = "V111145K" Then Me.Section(acDetail).BackColor = 12632256 'Light Red Else Me.Section(acDetail).BackColor = 8421631 'Blah Gray End If End Sub
Your help would be gratefully appreciated:confused:
btw, although values will always be in order they may not all be output, so it's not just case of odd, even, odd, even (that would be too easy!)
I can retrieve the Previous Record's GroupNo value (via a function) in another text box and compare current GroupNoID with this in the Format Expressions and manage to change the colour, but it won't sustain this new colour for the subsequent same GroupNos, obviously as the values have changed.
So how can I....
Change the colour when the value changes. Keep this new colour until it the value changes (increases) again.
I'd lile to show/hide selected subforms based on the the text in a txtfield. The text in the selection field (txtSelect) I'd like to use for that may be either one of the following:
book-01, book-02, book-03 etc OR, folder-01, folder-02, folder-03 etc OR, record-01, record-02 record-03 etc. OR it can be just a 4 digit number.
If the txtSelect contains "book" I'd like the subfrmBookdetails to be visible. If the txtSelect contains "folder" obviously the subfrmFolderdetails etc.
What I'm struggling with is the If-Then statement for selecting the partial text in txtselect.
I've tried things like this: On current me.txtSelect.setfocus if me.txtSelect.text="book*" then me.subfrmBookdetails.visible=true etc etc.
No joy.
I know how to get this to work in a query with a like-statement but I have not been able to find anything on this in relation to conditional formatting of a form. Any one and good ideas?
I have created a Media Contact Database and have a few issues that I believe are probably related to something I have done wrong. I am kind of a novice and I can't see my error and was hoping some one could look at my DB and see where I have gone wrong
1. on Company info form have added a dropdown box to select media type and it fills in on table a number instead of the actual word Eg. "Radio" 2.on contacts form when I save a new record it says "Microsoft jet database engine cannot find a record in the table 'media types' with key matching fields 'mediatype ID' 3.Also on contacts table when I select from dropdown box "Company Name" it works but if I try to change again it errors and won't let me change unless I close form and go back into record. 4. I am trying to create a report on company info with contacts related to this company as there can be many contacts to one company. but when i create a query including both table I only get company info if there is a contact associated with it. Sometimes there will be no contacts associated with company.
I will attach database so you can look at. I have worked many hours on this and it seems when I get one thing working another goes wrong. I know it seems a lot but I think its small issues that I just can't see. Any help would mean the world.
I am trying to make a form that will append when you click on the button I have made, but i want to make it so that the form wont let you append the table until you have filled a few "Required" fields.
I am new to VB and am pretty much clueless, please help!
Is it possible for a command button to appear on a form only if a certain condition is fulfilled ? Otherwise it is invisible. The condition would be that one of the field entries on the form must equal a specific value.
How might I make that happen ?? (I'm a beginner !)
I was wondering if any of you experts out there know a way to help me out here. I was wondering if it is possible to color the text on the last pressed button on a continuous form different from all the others, so people will know which one they pressed last? I've been trying a lot of different things here but i'm stuck. All i can get done is that all the buttons turn a different color, but doesn't solve anything.

Basically, I need a button on the "Company Job Summary" page that will let me print out one selected record from the job summary shown.
More importantly - I need it to come out looking like the form shown in the "Job Sheet View" which I have set up as a form that gets it's info from both the "Customer" database and the "Jobs" Database.
The Job sheet is controlled by a "Job ID" number - unique to each job.
I wanted to assign the field "Number of magazine" with special format based on date/time format but showing only year and month in the format: "yyyy-mm".
So in property of this field in format I put yyyy-mm and in input mask I type 0000-00;;-
I also created the form based on the table containing above field and I defined format and input mask for corresponding formant in the same way like at the table.
But if I try to type date for example 2014-01 in text box of the form it comes up with the full date 2014-01-01. Why does it do like this? What do I do incorrectly?
I have a list of dates in the mm/dd/yyyy format and I am looking to get it into the fiscal format of yyyyww. I am able to do this with the datepart and format functions, but I need to make it so that the fiscal month begins in January but the first week starts if there are three or more days in the week. For instance if Jan 1st is a Friday then this stands as the first fiscal week, if it is a Saturday then it does not count as the first week.
datepart and format functions have the Use the first week in the year that has at least 4 days for the firstweekofyear option but I need it where it has at least three to make it work.
I am exporting data from access 2007 to Excel 2007 using VBA code. I have a whole number, which I want displayed as whole number. But after the export, the number is using the 1000's seperator in Excel. So for example if my original number in access table is 12000, it is showing up as 12,000 in the excel file.It has something to do with the NumberFormat property. I have tried doing this but doesn't work.
We're using Access 2010 on Windows 7.We have a large database design where we send reports as e-mail attachments. We need to change the way the file is automatically created when sent. I goes to snapshot form every time we attach it to an e-mail. How can we get rid of the snapshot .snp file format? How can we change it to pdf or accbd?
