Font Type In Form Changes When Change Font Colour
Aug 1, 2014
I am experiencing a problem in MS Access 2013. I have a form which was working just fine until now. It has form labels in Calibri font and their font colour is one shade lighter than black. Today, I changed the font colour of the form labels to be Automatic - black (shows as 'Text 1' colour in the form properties). I did this in Design view.
I find that when I switch to layout view, the font of the labels appears as Century Gothic. This is the font that appears in the Form view. So while the font colour is correctly changed, the font name is not what I had set in the Design view. When I go back to the Design view, and change the font colour back to the original colour which was one shade lighter than black (Text 1, Lighter 50%), the font is correct in the Layout view and the Form view (Calibri).
So it seems that there is some sort of binding between the font colour (black) and the font name (Century Gothic). When I change the font colour, the font also changes. When I restore the original colour (one shade lighter than black), the font Calibri is correctly retained.

I've been working on a database for quite a while now, and i've now given it out for testing, and i've come across a little problem. One of the users is colour blind, and the colour theme i've used throughout this database is causing him problems.
I have a function that can single him out when he logs in, question is, is there a way i can change the font colour for the whole database in one go through code??
I have around 12 forms with many controls and labels, i'm kind of hoping i don't have to name each control and label separately to change the font colour.
Please tell me that there’s some clever piece of code that can change the font colour on a form in one hit…..
Regards
Darren.

Greetings,
Having got my database working, my manager has thrown a spanner in the works.
We have certain employees with the same grade as others "BUT" they have been given a "privilage".
I have put a true/false field in the table and in the report I would like, if the field is true, to print the last name in red or bold for instance.
My report is based on a query, from several tables.
If this can be achieved where to I do the code or whatever,
the table, query or report?
Have searched the forum but couldn't really find what I need.
Any help will be most appreciated.
Thanks,
Brian.
Zimbabwe.

All I want to do is change the font color and weight of a couple of columns in a form. No conditions or change when button is pressed or anything like that. Just be blue and stay blue.
I've tried making it a memo, rich-text field and it didn't work.
It works fine in the "member details" form, but not the "member list" form.

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.

Is it possible to conditionally change a font name? Report field is set for Wingdings 2 so I can print a check mark if underlying value is true. Wanting to change back to calibri to print "X" if not true. Haven't been able change it in an if statement. A macro setvalue fieldname.fontname to "calibri" throws type mismatch error. Setproperty choices don't include fontname.

I am creating a form and I have some fields I don't want people being able to change so I selected to disable them in the datasheet but now the labels have a strange double text, it looks different than all the other labels and is driving me nuts. when I enable it the font on the label goes back to what the others are but once I change it to disabled it goes funky again. how do I fix this?

My list box will be used to populate a form, is it possible that once the item is dble-clicked, it reverts to a different color to let the user know it has already been selected once or can the row be locked once it has been selected?

In access report, I'm trying to change color of text in specific records based on the true/false value in another record. Works in forms using conditional formatting, but won't seem to work in a report.
Here's what works in forms : IIf([2009 Symposium]=true, forecolor=255 ....this changes the records to red.
But using the same expression in a report doesn't change the text color.

When I change a font for a control, save it and then reopen it the font changes back to another font.
It's always the same font.
I'm trying to save it to Calibri but it reverts back to Constantia for some reason.
I've deleted the bound control and added it back but it did no good.
The only way I can change the font is to set it in the On Load of the form.

I think I already know what the answer is going to be, but is there a way of putting an outline around the text on a form so it stand out.
The problem I have is that I have our company Logo as the background and I want the font colour to be consistent. It is white, however there is a small area on the backround which is white. This causes the text to be unreadable.
I don't want to put a box around the field or change the background of the text box, or the colour of the text (Due to the look and feel of the form).
Does anyone know if this is possible.

I did some searching on changing the color of a font if you change the data. I found a few posts but they really don't fit the need.
I am using a continuous form (which makes this even more difficult) and when someone changes data in a field I want that forecolor to change from black to red.
Is there an easy way (I know not everything is easy) :) in the conditional formatting to create an event? I am thinking not but thought I would ask.
My GUESS is that I need some sort of temp table to verify the data against then return with the forecolor change.
I am using A2k.
Thanks RichB

I believe thats the proper word for it. Attached is a screenshot of a section of the database that I have started working on. It is to track placement for a college. Its my first ever and I am fairly good at making things look good, but as far as function - I am terrible.
I can change the raised box that the tab control sits on to a dark maroon when someone has a felony (so it notifies the user of this status)
Private Sub Form_Current()
If [Felony] = True Then
Felonybox.BackStyle = 1
Felonybox.BackColor = RGB(159, 19, 44)
Else
Felonybox.BackStyle = 1
Felonybox.BackColor = RGB(208, 207, 202)
End If
End Sub
I also have this done on After_Update.
I am trying to change the font on the Tab Control to Red when this occurs as well (only change the 'Criminal History CONFIDENTIAL' to red). I can not find this option anywhere, is this something that has been done or CAN be done?

My client wants a company name that appears on multiple forms and reports to show as font name Garamond which is fine... however, he also want the font to appear as "Small caps". In Word and Outlook, under the Font submenu, I can check Small caps and get what he wants... lower case letters are shown as Small capital letters. Is there a way I can make the same settings on labels in Access without installing a new font on each workstation that runs the database.

I replied to a post about this already, but it was in the wrong section.
As you see in the screenshot, I'm having a weird problem.
I have tried re-installing Access but it didn't help. Any ideas?

I am using a special font called Interleaved 2of5. You have to have macros enabled and the font package installed to get this font package to work. I have everything working perfect, I can print reports directly out of Access with the bar code perfect.
Here is my question:
Can anyone figure out how to get this to work in a query?
We have a couple mail merge documents set up in Word and I would like this same bar code to be at the top of the page.
I cannot find a way to get the BarCode to work in a query, only the report. I do not know if this is possible. Here is a sample database that comes with the program.

Hi all,
I have a couple of subforms on one particular PC where the data is showing in some strange font, WingDings or something like that. On my PC the data shows correctly.
Please see screenshot here: http://www.confetti.ie/screenshot1.jpg
I tried changing the Font Name for all the controls in the subform to common fonts Arial, Times etc but it still shows as WingDings.
I also tried changing the default font under Edit > Options to common fonts with no change. In the Options I tried changing font options on the Datasheet and Tables/Queries tab.
Thanks
Melt
