How To Get First Form To Change Colors
May 22, 2013A couple of days ago I was looking to change a form button color in a new database I was working on, I could not. I changed the Back Color to #22B14C but it stayed the same grey color. I could not make the change in that form in that database.
Then I went into a different database that I built and I noticed that the Command Buttons within the form was blue, I changed it to #22B14C and it turned green. What the difference is. I copied the button to the first stated database and in that form and the color stayed to grey even though the Back Color was set at #22B14C. I noticed that the database that the form that I could change the color had Hover and Press color options whereas the first database does not. I copied the form that I could change the button colors to the first database and I could change the colors but they had changed from the second database to the first, I could change the colors but the Hover and Press options were gone.
how I get the first form to change colors and what is the difference between the two databases?
Changing Colors For Each Line In Form
Sep 3, 2004Is there any way to change the color of a field based on the value of a field.
I know how to do this for a single form but I need to do it for a Continuous Form
(each line may be a different value and have a different color.)
Is there some event that happens before each line displays???
Thanks

Forms :: Defining Colors On Form Control
Mar 30, 2014I have to create a control on a form that will be able to change to one of ten colors, some of them are subtle shades. I will be doing this from vba on the control. I know how to do all of this except defining the colors.
I keep seeing the 3 part RGB(xx, xx, xx) etc. but I can't find the values for it that will give me the exact colors that I need!
I also saw a possibility of using a the hex equivalent for the color but I couldn't make that work?
Forms :: Possible To Store Colors In A Form Or Table And Then Reference Them While In VBA
Dec 5, 2014I am trying to see if it is possible to store colors in a form or table and then reference them while in VBA. What I am hoping to do is when I write all my code for command buttons to change On Got Focus, instead of writing xxx.backcolor = RGB (255,255,255) i could do something like xxx.backcolor = Forms!HiddenColors!Command That way if i want to ever change the color scheme of the db, I can change it in one place rather than hunt lines of code.

Modules & VBA :: Continuous Form - Display Alternating Colors
Jul 23, 2013Access 2007: I have a continuous form which, when it opens, uses code to display alternating colors... I need to set a default 'alternate' colour, and I want to find the code to use for Light Grey - on the design of a form, the color to use on a control would be #903C39 but when I try to set that as my default colour in the code it doesn't like it! I can use vbRed, vbBlue, vbYellow, etc, and that works perfectly but I can't find a vbLightGrey

Row Background Colors
Feb 13, 2007I have a subform that returns a bunch of records. Each of the records returned has a LANE_ID, so in this example, there are 10 records returned, 5 with LANE_ID = 11111and 5 with LANE_ID = 22222. Is it possible to alternate the backgrond color for each of these groupings?
I have found examples of how to change the color of alternate rows, but I can't find anything that would tell me if what I want to do is possible.

Changing Colors With Check Boxes
Feb 21, 2005I have a simple form with 3 check boxes. I want to write a vb code that will change the color of a box if a box is selected.
Table Name: tbl_main

Box Names: 'box_red' 'box_blue' 'box_yellow' (all currently translucent)

Changing Colors In A Field Automatically
Mar 15, 2005Hi everyone,
The problem I'm having is I need to have the background of a field change color depending on what's contained within the field. There's only three possible entries in the field: active, inactive, and a blank entry. I need it to show green if the field contains "active", red if the field is "inactive" or is blank (I also want the blank fields to show inactive, but that's niether here or there right now.)
I've been trying to get it to work with an if then statement, and setoption to change the background. I've had no luck with any of it, though.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Modules & VBA :: Function To Define Colors
May 1, 2014I have one color scheme I want to use all through the database I am developing. The next examples have just one color defined, to make it simpler (a dark blue, that I would call B1)
Code:
private sub setlabel()
Dim B1
B1 = RGB (0,52,105)
me.label1.forecolor = B1
end sub
... however this means I have to repeat the color definition every sub, so I thought would be neater to define a function to set my color codes (I have 20 colors).
Code:
Function SetColor()
Dim B1
B1 = RGB (0,52,105)
End function
My objective, is when I'm working in forms, Iwould (ideally) call this function "setcolor" and just write my code for the blue. I tried the examples below:
Code:
Private sub setlabel()
SetColor()
me.label1.forecolor = B1
end sub
[code]...
Again, this is probably some definition of arguments or dimensions that I am not aware oh. How to predefine the colors in a function to give them a "short" code which I can call in any sub in the database?
Formatting Table Colors On Access?
Jul 22, 20151. Can we have the cells within access table change color when their input changes as in excel? For Ex:
If the input for a cell inside Column "Status" says "Pending" then the cell color is orange.If it says "Completed" then color is green?
Is this possible on Access?
2. Also is it possible to change the color of Column headings?
I tried changing the color but found that the entire table changed colors with alternate rows.

Modules & VBA :: 1 Function For Multiple Buttons / And Using Arrays For Button Colors
Mar 4, 2014Question 1:
I am attempting to make a macro to pull information based on a clicked button to provide information to another form. While my example below will be rudimentary, I am attempting to create so that it can be applied to 450 buttons, hence the need for it to be a macro and not simply code per button.
For example if I have 3 buttons, captioned: red, green and blue. If I click on the blue button, it will open another form with a text-box that will say 'blue'. Likewise, if I click the red button the text-box will be changed to 'red'.
In the code below the section that I need to change is: Command1.Caption. Using this data I can pull from the one button to create the value, but I need it to be based on an OnClick or something in order to pull the value from the right button.
Example:
Function Macro1()
On Error GoTo Macro1_Err
DoCmd.OpenForm "Form2", acNormal, "", "", , acNormal
Forms!Form2!Text0.Text = Forms!Form1!Label0.Caption
DoCmd.GoToControl "[Text2]"
Forms!Form2!Text2.Text = Forms!Form1!Command1.Caption
[code]...
Question 2:
I am trying to use a query to change button colour on the basis of values stored in a table.What I want to do is change the button background after comparing the button name to the same variable in a table, and determining another variable.
IE:
Button1, Button2. In table: Button1, Val = Y, and Button 2, Val = Z
Pseudo Code:
Array: From Button1 to Button2
Query for Button1 against table
If Val = Y, Button1.background = red
Else if Val = Z, Button1.background = blue
Else Button1.background = black
End if
