Forms :: Defining Colors On Form Control
Mar 30, 2014
I have to create a control on a form that will be able to change to one of ten colors, some of them are subtle shades. I will be doing this from vba on the control. I know how to do all of this except defining the colors.
I keep seeing the 3 part RGB(xx, xx, xx) etc. but I can't find the values for it that will give me the exact colors that I need!
I also saw a possibility of using a the hex equivalent for the color but I couldn't make that work?

I am trying to see if it is possible to store colors in a form or table and then reference them while in VBA. What I am hoping to do is when I write all my code for command buttons to change On Got Focus, instead of writing xxx.backcolor = RGB (255,255,255) i could do something like xxx.backcolor = Forms!HiddenColors!Command That way if i want to ever change the color scheme of the db, I can change it in one place rather than hunt lines of code.

Hi all - I have a suite of reports which provide customer details. They all require the user to input the name of the customer.
The way it works is that I have a query which returns everything for the customer.
Then I have other queries based on the first query which bring back the specific information I want regarding the customer.
This works fine when the customer's name is entered using [Enter Customer Name] in the criteria of the relavant field in the first query.
However, because a user might want to run several different reports on the same customer it becomes a chore for them ot repeatedly have to enter the customer name.
My solution is to have an unbound field in the reports menu for the customer name and to use this as the criteria in the query, so it now reads [Forms]![FrmMenu]![Text42].
The first query runs fine, but the queries based on it are suddenly not returning any records.
There is undoubtedly a simple explanation for this but as I'm quite dim, I can't see it. Could somebody enlighten me and maybe even suggest a solution?

I have a sub form in datasheet view and need to custom alternate row colors with criteria from the main form.
E.g. If the Criteria field in the main form is 4, row colors must alternate after every forth record in the sub form. First 4 rows not shaded, next 4 rows shaded. If the Criteria changes to 6 then first 6 rows not shaded, next 6 shaded etc. I can do this in a Report with the Format Event but in a Form there is no Format Event.
On the Home tab, under Text Formatting group, using the Alternate Row Color drop-down list, changes every row, which is not what I need.

A couple of days ago I was looking to change a form button color in a new database I was working on, I could not. I changed the Back Color to #22B14C but it stayed the same grey color. I could not make the change in that form in that database.
Then I went into a different database that I built and I noticed that the Command Buttons within the form was blue, I changed it to #22B14C and it turned green. What the difference is. I copied the button to the first stated database and in that form and the color stayed to grey even though the Back Color was set at #22B14C. I noticed that the database that the form that I could change the color had Hover and Press color options whereas the first database does not. I copied the form that I could change the button colors to the first database and I could change the colors but they had changed from the second database to the first, I could change the colors but the Hover and Press options were gone.
how I get the first form to change colors and what is the difference between the two databases?

Is there any way to change the color of a field based on the value of a field.
I know how to do this for a single form but I need to do it for a Continuous Form
(each line may be a different value and have a different color.)
Is there some event that happens before each line displays???
Thanks

Can we set different colors on specific rows in a continuous form?
Suppose the following data entry form (continuous) is to fill in spouse name, while name and marital status is already prepared in a different table. If the marital status is Married, then the spouse name textbox's background color will be Yellow. The standard background color is white.
Name Marital Status Spouse Name
-------------------------------------
xxxx Married (Yellow)
xxxx Unknown (White)
xxxx Not married (White)
xxxx Married (Yellow)

Access 2007: I have a continuous form which, when it opens, uses code to display alternating colors... I need to set a default 'alternate' colour, and I want to find the code to use for Light Grey - on the design of a form, the color to use on a control would be #903C39 but when I try to set that as my default colour in the code it doesn't like it! I can use vbRed, vbBlue, vbYellow, etc, and that works perfectly but I can't find a vbLightGrey

In the default property of a subform control I want to use a control of the main form without using names of forms, but using me and parent.
I used in default property of cboVATDetail: =Me.Parent!cboVAT, but it is not accepted. My aim is to use cboVAT of parent as default in cboVATDetail of child.

I have an access form with tab control pages each with embedded forms.In one page I have a list of records as a datasheet form with the record identifier field configured as a hyperlink. When I click on this it passes its value to a form field in the form in the following tab page (works without the hyperlink but its a useful way of highlighting which field to click) which is a display/edit form of the details of the individual record. The Subroutine which does this sets the focus on this field it is passing the value to on the other form and the 'On Got Focus' event in that triggers the query that fills the editor form.
When I click back on the following tab to select another record to view/edit, the identifier value of the other record is passed to the other form but the data displayed in the rest form doesn't change. I understand this is because the field with the 'On Got Focus' never lost focus and so the query function was not called. To correct this I tried adding the same function call to the 'On Change' event however this does not work (the field is a text box set to 'locked' if that is relevant).I can get the form to do a new query properly if I click on a different field in the form before going back to the list tab or (as this is removing the focus allowing the On Got Focus to work again) if I click on a button to select a different record (which just takes me back to the list form).
Is there any way I can get this to work without having to manually remove the focus from the problem field? I have tried setting its On Got Focus event to move the focus to another field after the query function call however this prevents the Setfocus line in the code in the previous form from working. Here is a snippet of my code below.This code is for the list form and passes a value to the editing form:
Private Sub SalesID_Click()
Forms!Mainform.Requery
Forms!Mainform!Sales_Admin_Form!Sales_Admin_SalesI D.Value = SalesID.Value
Forms!Mainform!Sales_Admin_Form.SetFocus
Forms!Mainform!Sales_Admin_Form!Sales_Admin_SalesI D.SetFocus
[code]....

I'm trying to make a very simple click through data entry screen in Access 2007. For each record I want to have a standard form with three buttons at the bottom. Each button opens a new form (each form has a set of tabbed pages on it as there is lots to enter).How do I make sure that each of the additional forms populate the same record as the main form.

I am attempting to create a Navigation Form to allow another computer in my network to be able to utilize necessary forms within a database (through RunTime). I was hoping this would be a clean task by simply loading the forms into the tabs of the Navigation Form, however that is clearly not the case.
For starters, When attempting to use a form that has some VBA behind it (Docmd.ApplyFilter based on a selection from a combo box), I am given the error stating: "The action or method is invalid because the form or report isn't bound to a table or query."
After searching on this error, I believe it's because my Navigation Form does not have a record source. If this is the case, then I am confused as to what record source it should have, as with the 3 forms I need to access through the Navigation Form all pull data between various tables and queries within the database (some not related).
Now I've also come to the conclusion that my VBA references now must change in order to correctly use my forms. A correct reference would look something like:[Forms]![Navigation Form]![NavigationSubform].[Form].[My Form's Control]..Is this necessary in order to write any events, such as an AfterUpdate on a combo box?

When I right click a row on the data sheet side of a split form an select "New Record" I want the curser to go to the first field on the single record side. I've placed this in the OnCurrent but it did no good.
Code:
If Me.NewRecord Then
Me!Descrfiption.SetFocus.
End If
Any way to set the focus to the single form Side of a split form?

I am trying to create a form where there will be information entered. The information being entered needs to be on two different pages, as they belong to two different tables. I would like to use the tab control. The problem I am having is that I want to be able to lock the second tab until all of the information on the first tab is correct and the employee entering the information verifies it. Is this possible and if so how?

I have a form that has many calculated fields(hidden and shown) based on the data in the source table. The calculated values roll up to a textbox(txtAward) that shows an award(Gold,Silver,Bronze) based on the total calculated points.
There is no inputting in the form. Its just used to display what was input and what the final award is.
txtAward isn't part of the source table but can be added.
How can I get the txtAward value into the table so I can do some reporting?

On a form I have a:
control called "FilterListBox"
list box called "lstCustomer"
option Box called "optCustomerType"
When the user selects an option in the option box, "FilterListBox" is updated to either "1", "2" or "1 or 2"..One of the fields in the query for "lstCustomer" is "CustomerType" and its criteria is set as follows:
[Forms]![frmPrintHowCustomersPaidInvoice]![FilterListBox]
if "FilterListBox" = 1 the query for "lstCustomer" returns the correct records
if "FilterListBox" = 2 the query for "lstCustomer" returns the correct records
But if "FilterListBox" = 1 or 2, no records are returned.

I have two combo boxes on the same form and for some reason one recalculates and updates and the other one doesn't. The control source for each is as follows:
=DLookUp("[03_END_PREP].[END_PREP_DESC]","03_END_PREP","[PDS_PREP] = '" & [PREP_A_subform] & "'")
=DLookUp("[OPT_DESC]","10_OPTION","[PDS_OPT_NUM] = [PDS_OPT_subform]")
Is there any reason why one would recalculate automatically and the other wouldnt? By the way, I've coded the second one EXACTLY like the first one except the proper tables etc were added, and it just doesn't work for some reason....

I have a tab control form with about 5 tabs. However when I move to the tab that has a datasheet form, the page moves down. You have to scroll up to see the above tabs. Is there something I'm missing on this simple tasks? Is it better to have it as a basic form for easier interface.

How can I control the display of fields in a form? I see in a given database, that in the design view that some fields exist in a form but in the form-view some of them are not displayed.
I can't find how it was done, i see no difference in the fields' properties. Another question is how can i make a comboBox to display just the text without the ID number...

I have a main form bound to a query. Within that form, I have a button which calls up another form (pop up form). I simply want value of the "claim#" field-control to display in the "claim#" field-control of the pop-up form.
