I would like to change the Font and background color based on dates.
-I have a text box (Training Event) on a form populated from a field (Training Dates) in a query.
- I need the font and/or the background in that text box to change to red when the date is 12 month past, yellow 11 months past, white 10 months past and green for 9 months past.
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.
Just wondering... is this possible.
I have a database with 200 clients. If a user pulls up a record and the customer's insurance has expired, is it possible to change the background color of the form so that this automatically alerts the user that this customer needs to be contacted and the record needs to be updated?
Or are there any other suggestions that may serve the same purpose?
I would like to change the background color of a field that is the result of a Unique Values query. I am trying to get a list of invoices where all the line items are approved. I can't seem to get it to work the way I want because if even one invoice line item is approved it will show up as approved.
Is there a way to change the background color of the invoice field to red if ANY of the Approved line items are = False
I would like to be able to change font color and appearance while entering data into a form (example: italicize a word). Is there any way to activate the font format while in a form?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a question related to a textbox on a form.
In my table (tbl_data) I have a field named Rating. This can be anything from 1 - 10.
On my form (frm_input) I have a textbox (created using the wizard so at the moment I'll call it txt_Rating).
What I would like to know how to do is:
If the value in the textbox is 0-5 leave the background colour of the textbox white with black font.
If the value in the textbox is 6-7 turn the background colour pale yellow with black font.
If the value in the textbox is greater than 7.1 turn the background colour Red with white font.
I have a listbox and whenever I clicked on a row it will highlight black background and white font color. How can I disable this or change the formatting?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am using a continuous form and would like my users to be able to change a field background color to a light red by double-clicking. The user would also be able to change it back to white by double-clicking again.
The code I am using (below) changes the field background color for all records. I need my code to only change the field color of the current record and cannot seem to find how to do that. The field name is [System_CurrentStatus].
Private Sub System_CurrentStatus_DblClick(Cancel As Integer)
If Me.System_CurrentStatus.Backcolor = vbWhite Then
Me.System_CurrentStatus.Backcolor = RGB(234, 154, 160)
ElseIf Me.System_CurrentStatus.Backcolor = RGB(234, 154, 160) Then
Me.System_CurrentStatus.Backcolor = vbwhite
End If
End Sub
in a continuous form i want to click on one record and have the one field change the background colour to highlight it. When I use the code: Field. BackColor = vbYellow it changes the background on all the records. Is there a code to say only for the record with focus?

View 3 Replies View RelatedWe have a navigation page with 5 tabs and several navigation buttons underneath their respective tabs linking to reports.
In the main part of the navigation page we have 17 search parameters (text boxes and combo boxes)that the user can use to sort through all the reports we have in the different tabs.
What we would like to do is to have the label text to change to "red" if one of the 17 fields are "required", remain "black" if it is included in the report but not a mandatory search parameter, or turn "light grey" if that parameter is not included in that report.
For example:
My search parameters are: people, phone, and cars
If I were looking at a report of people that included addresses, phones, etc...name and phone would be required search parameters. However, even though I can search by car, it is not in this particular report and the label text should be greyed out. (If the actual text box could go inactive that would be even better).
I have read about buttons being turned colors based on a drop down box choice, but I have not been able to find anything about using a navigation tab subform button to make the colors change in the main navigation form.

Is it possible to run a query and have the background color of the query field be highlighted if a certain criteria is met?
I'd like to use the expresion builder if possible.
For example if the values in field A and field B do not match, then field C should be a yellow background.

I am attempting to create an expression that will change the font to red if it is an overdue date. It will be on a form with the records showing.
My datebase is for entering, changing, and searching for information dealing with orientation dates, contacts, and associations. My data sheet holds the company name, employee name, date of orientation, due date (orientations are completed annually), contact employee, and status. I would like the date, when opening the form, to show red if it is past due. how to create an expresion to return the status as "Current" or "Overdue", as I am still unsure which method I want to use.
I created a form that has about 200 fields and all the fields are utilized at a point depending on the work order assigned to us. I wanted to know if it's possible to put like a toggle box or a check box etc. next to the field so if it is checked it would be in a Dark color and the ones not utilized are in a shade of gray. All the fields are coming from the same table. Another thing it's an estimate worksheet so a row would have something like, Labor, QTY, HRs, Overtime, total as columns, so I would want a check box to have control over those but one for each row, EX contractor, locksmith.
