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
David Williams
I have access table that stores details as attached. Just to give an example how data is stored , I copied data from Access table to excelsheet. Now I would like to create a report that will run when a button is clicked on the form and the vba code should display the last 7 dates from todays dates in the report along with all the data and colour the record Green,Amber and Red depending upon the Update Date and Target Date. If the Target date exceeds then that records should be coloured "Red" and if todays date equals to Date then the record should be amber and if greater than Date but less than Target Date then it should be Green.
So the report should display the last 7 dates records from todays date and the appropriate color of each record to let everyone know if its under target, meets target etc.
I would like to get a third party to edit a database and record those edits by changing the colour of the font. I know this can be done in layout mode, but it changes the font in all records, I only wish to change the font colour in one record, how I can do this, without changing all the records in the database.

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.

Parts tbl
PartNumID PK(Auto)
PartNumber
Heres some example data:
1 M24308/2-2F
2 M24308/4-2F
3 ORD9F0000
4 ORD9M0000
5 D90000VLO
6 D90000JOO
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?

Hello,
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)
[Code] ....
We use access to enter our service tickets in at work.What we have are three date fields.
Call Date
Start Date
End Date
We are 24/7 operation.Currently all 3 just autopopulate with the current date.What i would like to do is ADD a CHECKBOX next to each Date Field.And make it work like this.
1. let them autopopulate as they are currently
2. if you end the call AFTER MIDNIGHT (the next day). CHECKING the box would automatically populate yesterdays date in each of the fields that has the check box CHECKED
Can anyone advise how I can get access to change the colour of data or cells , so that when I print out cells or data is coloured

I have checked the forum for tab colour/color and there is plenty telling me the background colour of the tab control but I couldnt find a single thread on the actual colour of the tab - you know (in Access 2003 anyway), that sort of off white colour. I have put a subform onto one tab but I cant get the background colour of the form to match the off-white colour of the tab.
Does anyone know the RGB or Access number for this off white tab color?
Hi, I have a text box on a form that I want to link to a colour pallette. I want it so that when a user clicks in the box, the colour pallette appears, the user then selects a colour rom the pallette and the text box turns that colour. I'm sure ive seen example of this sort of thing but I cant find them. Any ideas anyone?

View 2 Replies View RelatedThis should be an easy one for somebody. I'm a newbie to access and I'm experimenting with a tabbed form. My problem is if I create a new form with (say) two tabs, the area to the right of the tabs(where more tabs would be inserted) is white and I don't know how to change it to blend in with the rest of the page. Hope I'm making myself clear.:(

We have created some forms using (in some cases) the form wizard.
As you may know you have to select a "Background Style" when using the wizard.
Now we want to change the background from one of these styles to a colour - but when we select it in Properties and try to apply it, it seems to flicker but does not seem to have any effect.
Can anybody help us out please ?
many thanks
