Conditional Formatting A Table In Access 2013

Nov 4, 2013

I have a table in access and I need to format it so that when column "Status" = "Closed" column "Closed" = "yes". so it will automatically mark column "Closed" "yes" if "status" says "closed". Instead of having to change both columns all the time.I know how to do that in MS Excel, but is it possible in MS Access 2013?

Forms :: Conditional Formatting Based On Value In Targets Table

Oct 15, 2014

I have a form which basically has - employee, work done, hours and a calculated field (w/hour) of work done/hours

I can manually set the conditional formatting however as time changes targets will go up and it would be easier to update the targets in another 'admin form' (i can manage that part)

Its just referencing the other table to say the likes of :

if work per hour is greater than tbltargets.convtargetmid then vborange, if work per hour is greater than tbltargets.convtargethigh then vbgreen else vbred.

Forms :: Continuous Subform With Conditional Formatting (Access 2007)

May 15, 2014

I have a continuous subform with a fairly complex snapshot query as its record source. I have controls on the main form to allow criteria parameters for the query and a command button to requery the subform based on the selected criteria. I also have conditional formatting on a number of the continuous controls in the subform (the conditions are fairly straightforward, i.e. highlight if null, true/false etc)

When the subform is (re)queried, it seems to repaint several times (3 or 4 although it appears arbitrary to me) before it eventually settles. And it really louses up the aesthetics as controls flicker between colours; sometimes I even lose the background colour on parts of the detail section, or controls disappear altogether. And this continues as I scroll down the subform (or even click anywhere on it)

I don't mind that the query itself takes some time to run - of the order of a few seconds each time - but I'd prefer for the screen to wait until the query is completed, and all of the CF applied, before refreshing itself, instead of 'sweeping' top to bottom repeatedly. It's a snapshot query so once it's run, there should be no changes to the dataset.

I've tried Application.Echo but it has no effect whatsoever.

Conditional Formatting Text In Outlook Email Generated From Access DB VBA

Oct 9, 2012

I can generate an email by clicking on a button on a MS Access Report. In the body of the resulting Outlook email you have formatted text. I have also included an array of values which are displayed in this email but I need to highlight certain items in the array in red based on whether or not another column for that record is checked. Here is an image of the email. Notice that I have circled "ZWO" and that it is red. I need for this to happen programmically.

Forms :: Default Formatting Option In Conditional Formatting Dialog?

Aug 1, 2014

Need to confirm whether the Default formatting option in the Conditional formatting Dialog won't work in datasheet view of a form. Please note that all conditional criteria are working fine but not the Default Formatting option - only in the Datasheet view (In Single Form view the default formatting is working fine)

Queries :: Making A Table From A Select Query In Access 2013

Jan 21, 2014

I have made a new access 2013 database. I have created a linked table that has imported a substantial amount of data from an external data source, (an Excel spreadsheet). So far no problem. I created a select query that plucked data from the original table mentioned. Again, no problem. Then I decided to create another table, using certain fields only from the select query. Microsoft's guide tells me to start with CREATE, then Table design. I am happy to use just 4 fields from my query, but what I keep ending up with is a table, that, when I double click on it gives me the following:

ID Field1 Field2 Click to add
(New)

It is presumably expecting me to enter an ID number and it will come up with some record, but I want a complete table that should show several hundred records.

Linking Excel Table In Access 2013 Causing Shut Down

Mar 27, 2014

I am trying to link an excel file (.xlsb) into Access 2013 running on Windows 8 (External Data-->Excel). It will first act like it's working, but it will just shut Access down after a couple seconds of churning and ask for a Backup to be created or it will restart (no rhyme or reason as to which you will get). I've tried a Compact and Repair. I've tried rebooting. I've tried renaming the excel file(although I have other files with the same naming convention linked), but no matter what I do, it will not accept it. I've tried doing just a straight Import....same results. This file, along with a others that are already linked in this database, are stored on a network server.

Conditional Formatting

Apr 18, 2006

Hi Guys,

I've a question and I hope you can help me out.......
I'm trying to use Conditional Formatting Options on a Text box called "Date". I'd like that this box become Red if its value is between value1 from Text box "Start Date" and value2 from Text box "End Date" or Green otherwise (in this way the color change dynamically every time I change the values of Text Boxes "Start Date " and "End Date"). How can I do that? What I need to type in the Conditional Formatting Windows?

Thanks a lot for you help!!!!

Conditional Formatting

Aug 13, 2007

Hello

On my Database I have used Conditional Formattion to change the colour of the qty to highlight when the qty is getting low however its not as good as I would hope as there are different type of definition of quantity (D of Q) e.g. Each (single items such as a screw) and Roll (such as cord and tape)

Conditional formatting doesnt work well because if I have it as less than 10 the qty is in red, its ok for the each items however not the roll as 10 rolls of tape is more than we would need.

I am just wondering if anyone knows what the code would be to change the colour depending on the qty and the D of Q

All i have got so far is:
If me.qty <10 and DofQ = EA then

Now im stuck for the change colour part

Any help would be great

Conditional Formatting

Does anyone know if there is a way in a report to display an entire row in a different color? I'm running a report based on a query and I need specific information to come up in RED. I read about conditional formatting but you can only apply it to a field in a report, but not to an entire row. Let's say I have a group of managers and I need to know the ones that are making more than $50,000 a year. I don't just want the salary to come in RED, I need the entire row (like name, last name, title, date of hire, salary, etc).
Any ideas?

thanks!

Conditional Formatting?

Mar 22, 2005

Good afternoon everyone
I am new to this forum. I have not done access development for about 6 years so I appologise for my rustiness.
I have created a form based on a query. The form is of type Datasheet. I have assigned Conditional formatting to the grid fields based on an expression evaluating a check box. This works fine and when I open the form the conditional formatting works great.

However, I am now trying to add this form as a subform in A.N Other form. The parent form has no datasource and is purely there to display some text values linked to unbound controls. I did this because apparently you cannot show form header for a datasheet view.
When I insert my child form into the parent there is no logical link. The behaviour of the form and subform works fine but the conditional formatting does not appear in the subform grid.
Why is this and how can I best sort this?
Any help would be appreciated, but please be aware I am not fluent in VB as I have been away for quite some time.

Bets regards
Philm

Conditional Formatting

May 15, 2006

Hi. I have a problem with my conditional formatting. I have two fields field 1 (hours worked) and field 2 (hours per task). Field 1 shows the hours worked based on the difference between a start and finish time and field 2 shows the hours per tasked based on values assigned to the 10 task fields. I set the formatting of field 1 to show up in red if it did not match the value of field 2, which works fine most of the time. However, for certain values i.e. 5 or 6 field 1 still shows up in red even though field 2 has the same value i.e. both equal 6.

Could someone explain to me why this happens and offer a solution if possible.

Thanks for any help.

I have an Access form that is used for traffic counts. I have a total of 8 lanes of data entry rows (4 lanes each way).I have two text boxes that show the number of lanes in each direction for a specific location. I need the input forms to enable ONLY the number of rows displayed on the text box and disable the rest. I dont have a clue on how to do it. Tried conditional formatting. But the conditions overlap.

Conditional Formatting

Jul 27, 2007

I have two fields in my report: jc_lvd & jc_lvsd. Both fields have the possibility of either a "Yes" or "No" answer in their fields. I've combined these two fields into one field like this: =[jc_lvf] & " / " & [jc_lvsd]. When each field has a "No" answer, I need to highlight the background. I'm not interested in any other combination, i.e. Yes/No, No/Yes, Yes/Yes, ONLY if the fields are No/No. I have done conditional formatting with just one field but having both these fields combined is throwing me off. Would it be better to have separate fields for each and if so.........how would I have the conditional formatting look at two fields at the same time and then highlight both fields if they met my No/No criteria? Thanks for any help.

I have a field that most likely will not have an entry in it, BUT, ocassionally it will. When the field does have an entry in it, the entry can be any number amount. I've worked with conditional formatting before where I have the field color a background if the field meets a certain criteria, no problem. What I need to do is have the background of the cell highlight if their is ANY entry in it at all and not highlight, of course, if the cell is empty. Thanks for any help.

Conditional Formatting Format

Apr 18, 2006

Hi,

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.

Thanks in advance for your help

Conditional Formatting Question...I Think.

Jul 18, 2005

I have two date fields, I have it set so that when you place a date in the first field, the second field will automatically set a date 90 days after. What I need is for the second field to change red when it has been surpassed by the current date.

Thank you.
