I have a form in datasheet with the fields "Date In" and "Date out" among other.
I want to be able to Change the backcolour of the "Date In" to red, yellow, or green depending on the length of time elapsed between current date and date in. This works fine on the conditional formatting, but now I only want to apply this formatting IF the "Date Out" is empty.

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.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an access form that has a dropdown box list of 10 choices.
For example:
The form states please choose 1, 2, 3 or 4 then the choice should print in BLUE.
They choose 5, 6, 7 or 8 Then it need to print in RED.
So forth and so on.
I am sure there is a code I need to type in the conditional formatting area that would reflect if [1], [2], [3], [4] then I choose the red color.
I do not know how to use VBL or coding.
I would like to have a Positive value with a green Background and a Negative Value with a Pink Background.

I'm having a spot of trouble trying to get conditional formatting to work. I have an overview form which displays current quotes going through the system, the QuoteStartTime field is generated from the Now() command.I Would like if possible to show, 1 hour = Green, 2 hours = Amber and 3+ hours Red.
I've tried variations of
hour([QuoteStart])>1
DateAdd("h",1,[QuoteStartTime])
I've done this before with a date only field before, but working with time is taking too much time.
Is it possible that once the command button "Send Cost Request" in red is pressed it will change to green?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI 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.
How do I conditionally change the Back Color and Alternate Back Color based on the value of notes.FollowUpDate? I have a continuous form using the following code:
Code:
Private Sub b_all_past_Click()
Me.resultsFrame.SourceObject = "FollowUp_bystaff"
Me.resultsFrame.Form.RecordSource = "SELECT * From notes WHERE (((Notes.FollowUpDate) < Date()+1) And ((Notes.followup_person_id) = GetCurrentUserId()))ORDER BY notes.priority,(notes.FollowUpDate) DESC;" '
End Sub
Is it possible to set a custom background color for conditional formatting? Don't particuarly want to do it via code, but I suspect it might be the only way. If coding is required, can someone advise how and where to put it?
You see, I have a form with a custom background colour. In the conditional formatting criteria, all I want to change is the font color for the control, but when the critiera is set it automatically changes the background to white.

Hi,
I have a continuous subform with a checkbox and a textbox. If the checkbox is checked, I would like the textbox to enable. Since using code will enable the textbox for ALL the records, I'm assuming I need to use conditional formatting.
The problem is that I'd like to set the Locked property of the textbox as well. Just disabling the textbox makes the text hard to read -- it's currently white forecolor, blue backcolor and disabling would make the forecolor grey. The conditional formatting dialog looks like it doesn't use the Locked property, so is there another way I can do it?
Along the same lines, I'd like to use a custom color for my formatting (my blue isn't a standard blue color). Is there a way to enter the numerical value for the color, rather than just pick one from the palette?
I have a form with 2 sub forms which have identical fields from different records. I want to use conditional formatting to indicate a mismatch between 2 of the identical fields. I have been told I should use [NewField] <> [OldField] but I don't know how to complete the syntax. If I call the first sub_form_1 and the second sub_form_2 and the field name is path_length on both, how do I compile the statement?

I want to determine the back color o a cell based on a color value stored in another cell in other word
backcolor of cell A = the value of cell B
So if I change the numbers of cell B (which is color codes) , backcolor of cells A change accordingly and it will have the color specified in cell B.
I have a report that I would like to have the rows be a specific color based on the value in 1 field on the row.
I have attempted to use conditional formatting but it will not work (IE, I can get font color to change, but not field boxes to have color).
The field is labeled [text144] based on the value in the field (1,2, or 3) I would like the field to be a different color.
i.e.
3 = green
2 = yellow
1 = red
Is there a way to change the back color of an active field in a form? Meaning, when I tab through my form and the field I tab to becomes active, the field turns white. This poses a problem because my form back color is black and my field text is white. When the field is active, I can't see the value in the field due to the back color defaulting to white. Does this make sense? Is there a way to change it?
View 7 Replies View RelatedNeed to confirm whether the Default formatting option in the Conditional formatting Dialog won't work in datasheet view of a form.

View 11 Replies View RelatedI have a subform with two fields [status] and [process], i am trying to get the backcolor of procces to change to red if the status field contains the text "expired".
I have tried vba. plced on the after update
if me.status = "expired" then
me.process.backcolor = vbred
else me.process backcolor = vbwhite
end if
this
Changes the color of the field [process] but also all process field colors to red even if the status field does not contain "expired".
I think conditional formatting is the way to go but i think i need an expression to complete this.
I have a field on a report that I was able to make bold using conditional formatting. I want to make the other fields in the row bold as well if the value of the 1st field equals a set value.
EX: Contractor Bid Amount Sq Footage =[bid amount]/[sq footage] =[bid amount]/[estimate]
I put conditional formatting on the Contractor field
EX: Field Value Is equal to "Estimations"
I was Bid Amount, Sq Footage, =[bid amount]/[sq footage] and =[bid amount]/[estimate] fields to also be bold if the Contractor field is equal to Estimations.
I am struggling to format a field on a report.
I believe it is because special charachters are in the text string
I want to highlight the field if it contains the following text
Stage 6: Won and Deploy (shipping)
Regretably, I believe Access see this as code.
I suspect I need to encapsulate it some way, but nothing seems to be working
What am I missing?? How can I force Access to see it as a text string??

View 12 Replies View RelatedI am trying to add conditional formatting to a several fields in a report. So far i can use the contional formatting to set a field called [colour] to set that field to red and bold. But i believe I need to use an Expression for all fields, so I can make all fields that = red go red. I have used the the expression:
[colour] = "red"
but nothing happens.
Expression Is [Subtotal]+[Freight] > 50
What I am trying to do is create conditional formatting to colour fields within a form.
The conditional formatting option built in allows me to colour based on set values i.e. Value=Design turns green. I need to somehow say if Value contains the word Design turn green. This is because in addition to the word Design there will be a variable description. I tried editing the conditional format created by the wizard to Value="*Design*" but that didn't work.
Now I'm trying to write it in VBA code but am still struggling. Here's what I tried but it doesn't like it:
If InStr([Forms]![Query2]![Activity] Like "*Design")>0 Then
[Forms]![Query2]![Activity].BackColor = vbGreen
End If
So i have two fields I need to tie together for conditional formatting
If the "status" field says "RETURN" and its over "30" days then I need to highlight it RED
If the "status" field says "AVAILABLE" and its over "90" days then I need to highlight it RED
Is this possible?
I have a report which I would like to apply conditional formatting on multiple fields. I would like the conditional formatting to be based on two types of criteria
First criteria would be contracts that start with the year 2014. I used the following expression which worked - InStr(1,[ContractNr],"2014" AND [DirectorInCharge]= "Joseph Steinbok" or "Adam Godson")
To this expression I would also like to highlight fields which contracts start with 2014 AND have a particular Director assigned to it. For this I used the following expression - And [DirectorInCharge]="Name"
On their own, both expressions are working but I want to combine them. How do I do this? I've tried the following - InStr(1,[ContractNr],"2014" AND [DirectorInCharge]= "Name") but then nothing is highlighted. I also tried InStr(1,[ContractNr],"2014") AND [DirectorInCharge]= "Name" - in this instance EVERY record was highlighted.
