Hi,
Is it possible to display records in different colours in a list? e.g. 2 colours: first line will be colour 1. Second line will be colour 2. third line will be colour 1...etc

Hi,
Does anyone know if it's possible to colour a tick-box: e.g. the border, the background or the font-colour? I'm trying to put a red tick-box on my form (to differentiate one vital one from several others), but I can't seem to find a way. I have changed the border to red (255) and tried various options like flat, sunken etc. but it only seems to work with shadowed - and to be honest that looks terrible.
I've fudged it a bit by putting a coloured box on the form and overlaying the tick-box, but I would have thought there was a better way.

I'm looking to move an excel sheet to access because the row counts are too much.The main thing it does is compare the supplied data against a list I hold in the sheet.There are not duplicate records, however..Some data is a direct lookup for a full match, but much of it is a count to see how many records contain a certain string.
I have 500 keywords which have a countif function in using wildcards.I need to create a query/report which will return a list of records from the original list which contains each keyword featured and how many times it features.I was going to do it in PHPmysql but the time it took to parse a million records for every keyword made it pointless.
eg:
keywords:
look
billy
magic
list:
"have a look and see"
"spanish dave"
"who is billy brag"
"looky looky I go hooky"
"who's the man from argentina"
"could it be magic now"
my spreadsheet would return a 1 next to ""billy" and "magic" and would put a 2 next to "look".
the sheet has the keyword in each row and next to the column:
=COUNTIF(list,CONCATENATE("*@",B13))
where "list" is the external data.
Hi,
I am trying to produce either a report or a form that displays records 1 to a line. That bits easy enough using a tabular layout.
I would like to make text boxes that hold the data a differnt colour on each alternate line. So the background colour changes from white, then green, white , green etc.
Anyone give me a starter on this one please?
Thank you

I have 3 unique numbers that can identify a specific customer. I would like to my form to locate a specific customer by using whichever parameter the customer can find. Is putting 3 seperate queries on the form the best way to acomplish this?

View 3 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to permanently set the alternate row color in access, so that whenever you create a form it will always be what I want.I know that I can make a template and always use the template, but I would prefer to just change the access settings if that is an option.I checked the access settings but couldn't see an option to do this.Also if you can set sub-form's to always have a transparent border, so that you don't have to change it every time you add a sub-form to a form.

How would I design the table to allow me to define alternatepart numbers and also related parts? For example:
Record 1 is the primary part and record 3 is the alternatepart.
Record 2 is the primary part and record 4 is the alternatepart.
Records 5 and 6 are related parts to records 1, 2, 3 and 4.
I have a form that allows the user to select a part and displaythe part data. But I also want the alternate parts and related parts displayedon the form, maybe in a subform with tabs. I havent gotten there yet because Icant determine the table design.
I am using the Desktop Project Management template in Access and want to change a Open Project query from displaying the "id" which is a number, to the name column. In the projects table the field is set to number which is in a relationship with the employees table. Without changing any of that is there a way to run a query that will display the name instead of the number?

Does anyone know how to color alternate rows in two different colors in a continuous form?
:(
Dear All:
I have a report in Access 2000 showing names, ID numbers, Address and dates.
I wish to have alternate colors instead of the default white backgroud Access has.
Any ideas on how to start?
Many thanks,
Dion
I have a query expression that calculates the number of years between 2 dates using DateDiff. Here is the equation as it is:
BudgetedHQPCalc: Round(DateDiff("yyyy",[DateHired],[DateTerminated]),1)
What I would like this to do, is if the difference is, for example, 1.4, I want the number rounded down, if its 1.6 I want it rounded up, and if its 1.5, i want to use alternate rounding (1.5 down 2, 2.5 up to 3).
Is there an easy way to do this?
I am working on a report and I am having issues changing the coloring of the rows in the report. If possible, I would like the first column to be completely white with no alternating color because there is only data in one cell at the top of each grouping. So the column with "Aggregates", "Attachments", etc would have no alternating color rows below them.
In addition to this, I am having difficulty changing the alternating row color for the other columns. I'd like to use colors with more contrast. I have tried changing the color in both design and layout view, but the options for formatting row color is also greyed out, and not available for me to use. In other words, the alternate row color button on the home tab is unclickable, for lack of a better word.
This is re-statement for clarity of earlier thread deleted.
In Access 2010 I have a Report with a Detail Section that shows a record and a Sub-report that shows the many records of a one-to-many relationship.
The Report Detail Section Property Sheet specifies a Back Color and a different Alternate Back Color.
Report View alternates the Detail Section background colors correctly.
Print View and Printing DO NOT correctly alternate the background colors. Back color and Alternate Back Color appear in irregular sequences.
how to fix it?
Using Access 10 I am unable to turn off the alternate row color function for my report. The icon is on the toolbar, but is grayed out so I am unable to select it.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI can create a customized Input Mask, however there are two possible structures that the data may take. I think that this should be doable by the use of two fields, if it can be done with one field it would be preferable for searching options. If I have to use two fields there would only be one or the other used for each record so I would prefer to have the unused field inhibited. Either way the code work is beyond my present ability, any assistance would be appreciated.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI currently have two e-mail accounts on my computer. One is my default e-mail address with my name on it. The other e-mail account is a generic account with the department name.
I have a database set up to generate and send e-mails to our technicians notifying them when an order they placed gets put on back order. This database could possibly send twenty or thirty e-mails out each time it is run. My manager has requested that the database send the e-mails from the generic e-mail account instead of the default account. That way, when the field replies to the e-mail, they won't bombard my account.
Is there a way to tell the database which e-mail account to send an e-mail from?
I am currently using the below module to send the e-mails:
Option Explicit
Dim appOutlook As Outlook.Application
Dim namespaceOutlook As Outlook.NameSpace
Sub Outlook_SendMail(sEmailAddr As String, sEmailSubj As String, sEmailBody As String, Optional sAttach1 As String, Optional sAttach2 As String)

I have a DB where you there's 5 tables all linked together by one project ID
tables below
Project , Staff, Asset, allowances, travel, mark up
What I can do is create a new project, then add records to each of the other tables on what different items I require,
i.e. I create a new project - called project one, in the project table I create a record stating, name, time scale, client and location, then I add different records to each of the other tables on what I require all linked to the same project ID. (probably not explained that too well)
Now I want to create a query that lists all the requirements one after the other this will make it easier to create reports and to calculate costing's.
At the moment I have made 5 different queries listing all the data, then have one report containing 5 sub reports to display the data, no this does work.
I'm stuck and have no Idea how to start this, help would be nice
Here is what I am trying to accomplish, I have a Form that I input infromation into several fields (Including the Key field) that will create a new record in my table, Then I click a button on the form and it clears most of the data from the fields and allows me to create a second new record.
What I also want to see is a subform that shows all the new records that were created only while the form was open. Once the form is closed the subform is reset. If I open the form again, the subform will be blank and start listing only the new records i create in that session.
Is this possible? How do I even start this?
Thanks for your help. Please keep in mind this is only the second db i have created and I am not that great at writing code.
I have a table with records Name1, Name2, through Name6 I need to have a query or something that will join all theese records under one list. :confused:
Thank you in advance. :)

Ok, I'm sorry if this is somewhere else in the forum, but I can't seem to locate it. Here's my task:
I am writing an attendance program for an Ambulance Company, and I actually have a large chunk of it done. I have a text box for the date and a combo box for the type of activity. I have two side-by-side list boxes that lets the officers select peoples names and put them in the right side list box. The part that I need help with is: How do I add new records to the table that includes each of the members names, but all the same dates and activities.
Ex.:
John Smith 5/10/05 Meeting
Jane Smith 5/10/05 Meeting
Tom Jones 5/10/05 Meeting
I think that i need to write a loop, but my access programming is way out of shape. Any help would be appreciated, ladies and gentlemen

(Been a while since I had a question.) I have a table that stores a list of paper forms. the fields are ID#, display name, doccument name, and a code to determine if its a Word or Excel doccument, or an access report. Works fine; the user can click a form name (on the Forms/Reports tab on the main menu form) in a list box, set the # of copies and print the form. There are cases when a group of forms is needed (client admission is one). I have made a group table containing: GrpID, Grp Name, formID. I would like my "Form Group Edit" form to have 2 list boxes; the left one containing the (short) list of available forms; the right one displaying what forms are already (if any) in the selected form group. My idea is to have add/remove controls to manage the right list. I know this "wheel" is already invented and would like to plagerize one that works. Thanks in advance for your help.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIf i have a drop down list containing employee type names e.g. Plumber plasterer bricklayer from the employee type table. How would i select the bricklayer and bring back records associated with the selected employee type . I have done a query to go and get the records for the employee type and it works for one employee type.
But I cannot get the button to go and get the records when i select different employee types from the drop down list. I could add loads of buttons with the same query and change the employee type but looks a bit crowded and untidy. Am i missing something simple or is it just complicated.
I have an unbound listbox and some unbound text boxes.I am attempting to create code that will fill in the text boxes depending on which record I select within the list box.The listbox does not have multi select on, only single select is possible.I found listBox.Value which gives me the primary key which is nice, its something.
I have attempted several ways of things I have found online with no luck on how to get the remaining information into the other text boxes.I have seen a for loop to find the one that is selected then using the listboxControl.Column(intColumn,intRow) but I obviously don't understand how to implement it.The other option is to use a query but I am apparently doing that incorrect as well.The query:
Code:
"SELECT [Student].[firstName] WHERE [Student].[SSID] = studentList.Value;"
I think this is the correct query but I cant seem to implement it either.
I know you don't want people saying "tell me how to do it." So if you have any resources I am good reading up further on it, I just cant find a place that I can get the required info.
I just have a question on making an interface for my database.Some sample databases and office templates have in them, a list of the names of all the records embedded directly on a form, where you can navigate from one record being displayed to another.
An example is in the contacts database template that you can get from Microsoft. It features, on the left, a list of the names of all the people in your database, alphabetically. So, all you have to do is click on John Smith, and bam, John's information will appear in the fields on the right side of the form. If you want to move to Claire Jones, all you have to do is click her name and her information will appear in the fields on the right.
