FOrmatting Query
Jul 27, 2006
HI,
This is probably very simple (I hope so anyway) but I have a form with a tab control page within it. I am trying to change the background colour of the main form without changing the colour of the tab control sheet (the one with my data on it). Is this possible?
Also, I was wondering if it possible not to have a solid colour as a background. I would like graduating tones of the same colour as a backwash.
Any help would be much appreciated. Ths is my first real attempt at deigning a front end incidently so I am very new to this.
many thanks,
K

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)

Crazy question. I have a form where i have set conditional formatiing for certain fields which changes the background color of a field if it doesn't meet certain criteria, signaling me that I need to followup. For example in a Yes/No field, if it's Yes it stays white background, if it's No, the background changes to yellow.
Is it possible to query/report/form to show only records where the fields are displaying the yellow background (perhaps in the form properties?)? I would not need to see a record if there are no fields with yellow. (NOTE: there are several fields for each record set with this conditional formatting and I would need to see the record if it has one yellow background field or five)?
I hope this makes sense to oyu.
Thanks!

I have a query that brings up a job#, its start date (mm/dd/yyyy), and its
priority status (Low, Medium, or High).
Is there SQL I can use to make another query that will look at the start date,
and if it is a week old, change the priority status to Medium, and if it's a
month old, change the priority to High?
Thanks!!:)

I have a query set up to prompt users when their license will expire (30 days out). Problem is that there are 2 types of licenses and some have different dates. I would like to have a report where I could see all the people that are about to expire either it be one license or the other or both. Thank you please help.

The data within my tables is formatted correctly and when I run a standard query on the data, it comes through the query with the same formatting. However, when I run a query that needs to total the values (whether it's sum or average) the values lose any formatting (and by total I mean the one in design view, not in datasheet view).
I then need to manually format each columns "Format" and "Decimal Places" properties to what I want. I have quite a few queries with quite a few columns, so this is very time consuming. Is there a way to do this faster without VBA? In Excel I can simply highlight multiple columns and format all of them or apply a format painter. I don't see any similar functionality in Access 2010.

how to conditionally format query results? I have read another forum post that says that query conditional formatting is possible.This database keeps track of projects and their associated tasks & statuses. I created different queries depending on task name( i.e. assignment date, approval date, etc.) Now, with some of the tasks, if it is overdue, it needs to be highlighted red. If it's cutting it close, should be yellow. I can't figure out how to set up a conditional formatting rule to address this. So instead I've had to create to separate queries for "red" and "yellow" rules, and display them separately in the Dashboard form.

I am creating a line graph from a running total query to show our income from items shipped for each month. Currently I have the following Code in my query which works but it displays the month as a number in my graph and I would like it to show the Month name.
Code:
SELECT DatePart("yyyy",[ShippedDate]) AS AYear, DatePart("m",[ShippedDate]) AS AMonth, DatePart("d",[ShippedDate]) AS ADay, Format(DSum("SalesPrice","tblJobs","DatePart('d', [ShippedDate])<=" & [ADay] & " AND DatePart('m', [ShippedDate])<=" & [AMonth] & " AND DatePart('yyyy', [ShippedDate])<=" & [AYear] & ""),"Currency") AS RunTot
FROM tblJobs
WHERE (((tblJobs.ShippedDate) Is Not Null))
GROUP BY DatePart("yyyy",[ShippedDate]), DatePart("m",[ShippedDate]), DatePart("d",[ShippedDate])
ORDER BY DatePart("yyyy",[ShippedDate]), DatePart("m",[ShippedDate]), DatePart("d",[ShippedDate]);
I tried this solution, but I get an error in the RunTot field, I'm assuming because Access can't use the month name in dsum.
Code:
SELECT DatePart("yyyy",[ShippedDate]) AS AYear, MonthName(DatePart("m",[ShippedDate])) AS AMonth, DatePart("d",[ShippedDate]) AS ADay, Format(DSum("SalesPrice","tblJobs","DatePart('d', [ShippedDate])<=" & [ADay] & " AND MonthName(DatePart('m', [ShippedDate]))<=" & [AMonth] & " AND DatePart('yyyy', [ShippedDate])<=" & [AYear] & ""),"Currency") AS RunTot
FROM tblJobs
WHERE (((tblJobs.ShippedDate) Is Not Null))
GROUP BY DatePart("yyyy",[ShippedDate]), MonthName(DatePart("m",[ShippedDate])), DatePart("d",[ShippedDate])
ORDER BY DatePart("yyyy",[ShippedDate]), MonthName(DatePart("m",[ShippedDate])), DatePart("d",[ShippedDate]);
Do any of you know a way I can make this work?

I have a totals query that provides an avg for each month. i'd like to be able to use a text box control (named "Date") on a form (named "Report Runner") to show only a certain month and it's avg.
I tried using this as criteria on the "MonthGroupPMC" field:
Code:
Format([Forms]![Report Runner]![Date], "yyyy-mm")
but the results came up blank.
how can i filter the results of this query to show only one month, specified by the [Forms]![Report Runner]![Date] control?

I am making a classic sales over time crosstab query.
Rows: Customers
Columns: Sale months
Sales date is defined by the ETD of the order.
However, with the simple Format([ETD],"yyyy-mm") I get regular months, but I need to adjust the months to be between the 21st and 20th rather than 1st to 31st(30th).
August would be 7/21/2013 to 8/20/2013
September 8/21/2013 to 9/20/2013
Is it possible to format the columns this way?

I have successfully put together some VBA code that will accept a user's input into a textbox on a form. A cmdFindprinter button is clicked and the query is ran. The user is asked via an inputbox for their login ID so that the query is exported to a text file on the desktop. The query then pops up in a new tab and also automatically exports the queried record to a text file on the desktop. I have upward of 30 users using this form at any given time and I need the following automated.
What I would like to do is to have the text file go into a specific format. For example:
IP address:
Serial number:
Location:
The name of one of the queries is "Xerox IP Query", the field names would be "IP Address", "SerialNumber", and "Site Name".
This is what comes up in the text file right now:
"CXF345946","157.229.243.58","123 Happy Ave"
I'd like to remove the quotes and have the info fall into place as shown in the example above.
This is the code so far:
Code:
Private Sub cmdFindprinter_Click()
On Error GoTo cmdFindprinter_Click_Err
Dim strPath As String
userNT = InputBox("Please enter your NT ID", "ServiceBase Xerox Printer Query", "Enter your NT ID")
strPath = "C:Users" & userNT & "DesktopPrinterQuery.txt"
If Heading = 0 Then Exit Sub
[code]....

I have a simple crosstab query:
FirstName and Surname as Row Headings.
Date as Column Heading.
OnShift as a Value (Count).
These are from the table DailyActivityLogs. Also in that table is a choice field called Weather that lets you choose the conditions that day (Weather, Work, Part Weather, Subbed).
This is the report the crosstab query generates:
What I would like to do is colour the Count fields depending on what the weather was that day. It seems possible, as Weather sits in the same table, but the field Weather isn't in the crosstab query.
Can I do this?

I have a query in my database called "Open Date" which is a date formatted field when imported as DD/MM/YYYY. The criteria is set to:
>=#06/04/2014# And <=#05/04/2015#
The query works just fine. My customer has come back and asked for the way the date is displayed to be in the YYYY-MM-DD format (i know it's not ideal but thats what they want). When i've done that using the following
Format([Table].[Open Date],"yyyy-mm-dd")
The query then returns no data.

A few months ago I created a report that displays the results of a long union query comprising a dozen or so individual queries, each containing an expression that yields a date (or sometimes date and time). I set the report to group by query and then sort by the date expression. Now for some reason that I can't fathom the report has always only ever offered me the option to sort the date "A to Z", I infer it thinks the date is text, but this misunderstanding has never actually stopped it sorting by date perfectly well. It worked. No problems.
However I have recently added formatting to some of the queries so that they just display date, not date and time e.g. Format([dateandtime],"dd/mm/yyyy"), and now the sort by date in the report no longer works. None of the sorting or grouping options have changed, but it now sorts just by the "dd" component of the date - so it thinks 21st June is later than 20th July. why?

Really simple one for all you folks out there, but I've just been struggling for 20minutes and thats it I've decided to to seek proffesional advice. Though its been said I need it in other areas of my life too (so my ex says but..), any way I digress.
I put a tab control on a form all I want to do is format the title of each individual Tab name, i.e. font size etc, type. Had a look at the properties but nothing there seems to register.
Is it possible?

Ok, don't know what I should title this problem as, but maybe you guys can help. The data stored on my table is formatted as Currency, however, when I Queue up the data, I also multiply it by a factor (exchange rate). Which turns the data into just a regular number. When I display this data on my form, I reformat it into Currencies again. However, when I click on the field, it shows the number in its raw format. How can I fix this so that when the user click on the field, they won't see the raw number but just regular Currency format? Much thanks in advance.

Hi
I have a database with multiple tables all linked together in various ways. I would like a master reset button that will delete every record in every table as well as resetting the auto number(s) back down to zero again. Can this be done and if so, how?
Thanks in advance.

I'm trying to format a header in a report and need some help.
The following results in "Error" if placed as the Control Source :
=IIf(IsNull([Captain]),"","Captain:" & [Captain])
Is there another way to do this?
Essentially, I want to display the word "Captain: " followed by the name if there is an entry. If there is no captain, I want to display nothing.
Thanks for the help!

In my report the data shows patients and which unit they are in so in the detail section it shows something like this depending on how many records there are:
CVICU
CVICU
CVICU
MSICU
MSICU
NICU
STICU
STICU
STICU
I'm now modifying that report to show totals and I want to list the names of the units going across the page not down the page which shows all the records. I moved the field into a "Unit Footer" and now the report shows only one entry for each unit like this:
CVICU
MSICU
NICU
STICU
Within the Unit footer section I don't want the names of the units going down but across like this:
CVICU MSICU NICU STICU
I know there must be an easy answer but I've looked and work on it for so long I can't see what it would be. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks so much in advance.

Hi,
Please see attachment. I have created a mini database which will hopefully help me in explaining the process.
Table1: Field1 - 8 rows/8 records
Form1: Field1 text box
So in this box I used conditional formatting to say- whenever the date is greater than 04/05/2006, turn red.
So now I scroll to record2, need to have new conditional formatting rules to apply to this record.
My understanding is that I can use the remaining 2 conditions for records 2 and 3.
But what about records 4,5,6 & 7.
For example in record 4 I need the date to be greater than 02/15/2006, and record 8 to be greater than 05/09/2006-and as you can see when you scroll down to record 8 it has already turned red because it is governed by the rules in record1!
Hopefully this makes sense!
Is there a way to get around this? Is conditional formatting the only way to achieve this?
If it's not what would I do?
Thanks in advance for your help!

I am having trouble formatting a mailing label zipcode using the xxxxx-xxxx format.
I am using the =Trim([City]&","&[State]&" "&Format([ZipCode],"@@@@@-@@@@")) for Access 2002
My program is Access 1997-is there a different formula and why isn't the above working?
The zipcodes that have an extension come out right but the ones that don't have an extension come out like 6-8894
Any help would be appreciated!

Hey everyone, I need some help with formatting a string for use with the DoCmd.RunSQL() method. I can't figure out how the hell VB deals with escape characters for the purpse of variables inside strings. I have this line right now.
strSQL = "INSERT INTO OS (OS) VALUES(" + OS.Value + ")"
This is supposed to insert one row into the "OS" Table, in the "OS" field. In my form there is a textbox called "OS" and I'm trying to insert that value into the DB table.
Two things.
1) Yes, I know, I have a lot of things named "OS"
2) Yes, I know I don't need to use a string here, but I'm just presenting this is an abbreviated example, in my full program I do in fact need a string.

hi all, first time poster, with an awkward question.
i'll save you my life story but suffice to say i'm just 3 weeks into a 6mnt work placement from college and i could do with a bit of help.
the company i'm working with has to generate an xml document (preferably with access) corresponding to this schema (http://www.ros.ie/schemas/eusavings/v1/schema.xsd)
the problem so far as i can make out is that when i import this xsd into ms access - i'm presented with a rediculous number of tables and in turn these are not related, i.e. there is nothing to say that the e-mail address table is associated with the header table. (having them in one table makes more sense to me, but i'm not an expert, all i know is i have to comply with this xsd.)
when the data is exported to xml format, it's meant to look like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<EUSavings formversion="1" periodstart="01/07/2005" periodend="31/12/2005" language="E">

everyone in this company is completely new to xml and seeing as i have a little experience with it from college i've got quite a bit of pressure on me to try and make this work.
so, my question is: how would i go about exporting data from access into a xml document which conforms to the xtd, and looks like the xml code above?
is access capable of doing this?
they want this solved programatically, but nobody here knows how to do it.
can anyone offer guidelines on how to tackle this? any help would be really appreciated, i'm in over my head

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!!!!
