Forms :: Change Textbox Color On Form In Access 2013 For Dyslexic User
Apr 29, 2014
I have a new staff member in my office that has informed me that she has a degree of dyslexia. To assist her I've trialled changing the textboxes on one form in my Access 2013 application to a light pink color & this has instantly worked for her to read/input text.
Is there a way to automatically change each textbox to light pink on every form in my application on startup based on user login (say using an IIF statement in the OnLoad event of the startup 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 would like to put a text box (user) and checkbox (check100) on a form, that when the checkbox is not checked the value in Gender switches. In an AfterUpdate I would use a code to capture the user login.
Code: Private Sub Check100_AfterUpdate() Me.User = Environ("UserName") If Me.check100 = 0 AND Me.Gender.Value = "Male" THEN Me.Gender.Value = "Female" ElseIf Me.check100 = 0 AND Me.Gender.Value = "Female" Then Me.Gender.Value = "male" End If End Sub
I have a continuous form based on a orders table and a details sub form.I list all the records in a continuos form in date of order.i need to change the colour of a single record based on the condition of a tick box on the original orders form
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?
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?
I am developing a form whereby the user types a single character or a sequence of characters into textbox and a query WHERE clause is compiled upon each character being entered.
The query is the Row Source of a listbox which I requery upon each change in the text box contents.
In the Change event I cannot access the new contents of the textbox until focus moves to another control and then back to the textbox. This is not how I expect this event to work.
I am trying to change the button color on a subform if a related form data changes.Main form is products with a continuous subform with serial numbers of products i.e, serial number, location, price and a button to add addtional issues if there are any for this particular serial number (this will open up another form related to the serial number so I can add an issues if there are any).The reason I would like the button to be a different color is so I can quickly see if there are any additional notes been added to the serial number. Just in case you may ask why not add the field to the continuos form is that the issues and be quite lengthy and there may be lots of serial numbers on the form
I have user security level setup with username and password.I have set forms and tables etc to security levels.what i am having trouble with is setting user security levels to command buttons on the switchboard.Example if you sign in Mary Jones and you click on the command button (open Tom Smith switchboard) button on the main switchboard and your not tom smith you get a message access denied.
Code: Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer) If Forms!frmLogin!cboUser.Column(4) <> 2 Then MsgBox "you cant open this form"
[code]...
it is a switchboard page. and putting CoCmd.OpenSwitchboardPage that does not work either..when you look at the event on click of the command button a macro opens up but I dont see how you can edit it.
I have a form with two textboxes that get their values from two different queries that counts records from table. If textbox1.value equals texbox2.value the textbox2.value back ground colour is green. If they are not equal textbox2.value goes red. Itried with using conditional formatting, but it doesn't work all the time as the form is not updating when it is opened.
I have a Form Display Data in my Access Database, which is working really well. However, users was asking if there is a way we can make Font Color Could/would change if The text in A field or Any field in my display form contained the word "SAD or MAD". Is there code for such thing in display form?..
I am building a form in access and I am trying to find a way where user input isn't possible in the associated textbox when "No" from on option box is selected.
I have 5 tables that I would like to input data in. It can only be done with a single form. The fields I want to input in have the same names in all 5 tables, for example:
Table 1: Name Age DOB
Table 2: Name Age DOB
Table 3: Name Age DOB
Table 4: Name Age DOB
Table 5: Name Age DOB
Is it possible to input data into all of these fields in each table using one textbox for each field?
Preferably without having to use code but if it cannot be done without it then that would be fine.
I have created a MS Access barchart by running a query. X axix has user name and y axis has counts. I would like to change every bar's color based on the x axis user name value .Is there a way to do that using vba code in MS Access barcharts.
My database has a front end that uses forms to allow the user to navigate within it, each year we create a new database which is based on the previous year's database but with all the variable information removed.
Within the database each form has a caption that starts with '2014-15' then goes on to say the form name.
Most of my forms also have a yellow background, (last year it was pink).
Both these areas were set up so that each year our users can distinguish between our databases, as they may have last years and this years open at the same time.
What I would like if possible is to know whether I can get a user to change both these things from within a form. So something along the lines of a button that when clicked would check all form captions and if within the caption it finds 2014-15 then change it to 2015-16 (or whatever the user specifies) but keep the rest of the caption. I would also want the same type of thing to happen with the colour so again within the background of the forms, if you find colour X then replace it with colour Y.
If this can't be done within a front end form, then could it be done behind the scenes, and if so how would I go about doing it?
I have access query opening in excel. After it opens i would like everywher where where is says "no", to make next 2 cells BLUE.
The code below is doing it, but it's taking few minutes. is there any way to speed it up ?
'shading non-matching items With objActiveWkb.Worksheets("Reconciliation Sheet").Range("b5:ak500") Set c = .Find("No", , , xlWhole, , , True) If Not c Is Nothing Then sAddress = c.Address Do c.Offset(, -2).Resize(, 3).Interior.Pattern = xlSolid c.Offset(, -2).Resize(, 3).Interior.ColorIndex = 33 Set c = .FindNext(c) Loop While Not c Is Nothing And c.Address <> sAddress End If End With
I'm using the changebackgroundcolor.zip sample that I found here at Lebans site. URL....I'm trying to find a way to keep the color that I picked after the database closes. I tried to follow the example here URL....but couldn't get it to work.how to get the color to stay on the color that was picked from the dialog box?
I have a subform that is purely to display information (no edits will be made on it). The subform has a special color on it (company color) that I can not deviate from. My problem is the first record in the subform (displayed as a continuous form) gets the focus. The font is white and standard access has a white background. My end goal would be to elimnate the focus for any record in the subform (if it is possible). I know that I could change the color with conditional formatting but the colors in conditional formatting do not match the company color.
I have several forms that each has a dozen or more checkboxes, true/false. I want to be able to change the background color of the label of each checkbox depending on if the checkbox is true or false. I have used the following code which works great:
If Me.A = True Then Me.lblA.BackColor = vbYellow Me.lblA.BackStyle = 1 Me.lblA.ForeColor = vbRed Else Me.lblA.BackColor = vbWhite Me.lblA.ForeColor = vbBlack End If
Me.A refers to T/F checkbox A and Me.lblA refers to its label. This is repeated for each of the checkbox controls. If the control is [B], then its label is lblB. I have used this in the form OnCurrent event and the checkbox control OnUpdate event. I was wondering if I could use the tag property to this, saving me writing countless lines of code and having the OnCurrent event of each of the forms so long and cumbersome. And I do know that I can use conditional formatting to do this, but I would prefer not to use that method. Is there any way to do this using the tag property and not so many lines of code?
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 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 have images in my form, say, Image1 and Image2 . The default background color for all of them are white. If the user click image1, the background color has to be red. If the user click image2, the background has to change to red and the image1 retains its default color ( White ).
I have six images to loop through these. Image1 to image6.
no problem about setting a different border color for a single textbox (or combobox or listbox) which has focus. How about to change, with a small and fast VBA code avoiding to write code for each textbox, the border color (ora other textbox properties) for a many controls in a form?
I tried using 'For each ctrl in Form....', but I got only bad results. All my control are within differente pages in TAB control.
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?
