I have a form with embedded sub-form in datasheet view, and all data displays correctly, the problem I have is in formatting the sub-form to match the main form. I would like to remove all headings, background color etc. and leave only the data showing, however I am unable to achieve this from the properties window and suspect I may need to look for an alternative way to display the data.
View RepliesI have a continuous subform on a form. I have applied conditional formatting with expression is.. so that the formatting on one object (field on the subform) depends on whether there is anything in another field on the same subform named "Remarks".
My problem is that I this is not working to my expectations. First of all when the form with the subform is loaded the conditional formatting does not appear immediately. One has to run over the fields with the mouse with the hope that the conditional formatting appears.
Secondly the conditional formatting is not working well as they should.
I wanted to use a conditional formating when in a subform the field "Field_Name" has the value "Case Status New" and then the field "New_Value" should become orange color.
I guess it can be put togheter like a formula (expression) in the Edit Formating Rule.
I have a continuous form that is used as a sub form, and one of the fields is a check box which ideally I would like to set not visible; however, I would like the font colour of the other fields to turn red if this check box has a value of false.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a continuous subform with conditional formatting whereby when I select a record the row is highlighted.
It all works fine except that I have to requery the subform to enable the conditional formatting to work.
The Repaint method does not work on the subform.
I have a continuous subform with multiple controls (textboxes) per row.
I'm trying to set up conditional formatting such that certain textboxes are highlighted based on comparisons with other textboxes within the same row/record.
What's bothering me is, I have managed it for one, but struggling to do it for others!
For example - I want to highlight 'similar' records (i.e. possible duplications) - and have managed this by adding a textbox across the length of the row and applying the following CF expression :
Quote:
DCount("[ID]","[tblMyTable]","[ID] <> " & "txtID" & " And [Field1]=" & "txtField1" & " And [Field2]=" & "txtField2" & " And [Field3]=" & "txtField3" & " And [Field4]=" & "txtField4" & " And [Field5]=" & "txtField5")>0
Works brilliantly - highlights all records where fields 1 thru 5 hold common values.
Now I want to highlight where two fields within the same record are different (i.e. they are driven by different data but should hold the same value)
Am trying this :
Quote:
"txtField3"<>"txtField4"
But it's not working - it's highlighting pairs of fields even though they do hold the same value.
Even tried switching it for a DLookup (which seems like doubling up on effort, but just to see if it worked)
Quote:
DLookUp("[Field3]","[tblMyTable]","[ID]=" & "txtID")<>DLookUp("[Field4]","[tblMyTable]","[ID]=" & "txtID")
But no dice? I can't figure out why the same basic logic which works so well for the first CF, doesn't hold for the second one.
I have a continuous subform with a fairly complex snapshot query as its record source. I have controls on the main form to allow criteria parameters for the query and a command button to requery the subform based on the selected criteria. I also have conditional formatting on a number of the continuous controls in the subform (the conditions are fairly straightforward, i.e. highlight if null, true/false etc)
When the subform is (re)queried, it seems to repaint several times (3 or 4 although it appears arbitrary to me) before it eventually settles. And it really louses up the aesthetics as controls flicker between colours; sometimes I even lose the background colour on parts of the detail section, or controls disappear altogether. And this continues as I scroll down the subform (or even click anywhere on it)
I don't mind that the query itself takes some time to run - of the order of a few seconds each time - but I'd prefer for the screen to wait until the query is completed, and all of the CF applied, before refreshing itself, instead of 'sweeping' top to bottom repeatedly. It's a snapshot query so once it's run, there should be no changes to the dataset.
I've tried Application.Echo but it has no effect whatsoever.
Can this be done I dont really need the scroll bar in one of my subforms, can I remove it and prevent users from using it?
View 1 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 form imbedded in another and would like to remove the navigation bar from the form being imbedded so 2 do not show in the final product.
Is there a way to do this and if so, how would I do it.
Thanks!
Sorry if this is too trivial to be posted as a new thread, I have spent a considerable amount of time trying to do this but have failed miserably.
I want to remove the set of command buttons at the bottom of the forms, (the navigation buttons to move the next record etc.) as i want to create my own. And also when I have got two or more subforms this looks too cluttered.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks.
I was just wondering if this could be done by code or he only way o do it was by the form properties?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a parent form and a sub-form. On the parent form is a date field [JOINED] and on the sub-form there is a date field [DATE PAID] and a field [BQ JOINING FEE] with a default format of currency.
I created a macro to set the value of [BQ JOINING FEE] to 0 if ([DATE PAID]>[JOINED]+60). It sets the value to 0 as required but I am unable to get it to format the result as currency.
I have created a database which is used as a sign in and out machine for students. I have 2 forms a 'sign in' which has a lookup list containing all student names. as well as date and time and a 'sign out form' which uses a lookup list from the sign in form.
It collects data fine but when a student signs in and out a second time there name is duplicated in the 'sign out' drop down list. The student must select the right name out of the duplicates otherwise it wont record.
Im just wondering if there is some sort of fix to this.
how to remove the white space between fields. See attached image for an example
So far I have tried hiding gridlines, setting them transparent, removed margins, removed padding, and setting just about everything that is to do with borders to transparent in the properties list.
None of the above seems to affect how the fields display, in fact turning gridlines on and setting them really thick and a different colour doesn't change how it displays. Is this a bug with conditional formatting in Access, or am I missing something obvious that's overwriting my formatting selections?
I'm having an issue getting all of my conditional formatting rules to run on my forms. For some reason it is only running the rule in the top position. I'm running different versions of this rule. Changing the field or table as needed to highlight duplicates in different colors. As you can see on page two of the attached PDF the entry for 33K6-4-3176-1 should be highlighted (yellow) because it is a duplicate. It only works if I change the order of presidance of my rules but then that negates my other rule. I'm not sure what is causing the conflict here.
If the field is red then the "Auth" field is a duplicte within that form if the firld is yellow then the entry in the "Auth" field appears on both forms. Red should take precidance.
Nz(DCount("*","tblRndfrm","[Auth] = '" & [Auth] & "'"),0)>1
Nz(DCount("*","OvrDrw","[Auth] = '" & [Auth] & "'"),0)>1
I have a drop down box on a continuous form called (cmbItem).When the users choose Option 6 (Other) and on the open event I wish to show another field txtOther which allows the user to give a description of what 'other' means but I only want to show the field for that record. (the user could potentially have more than one record as other)Using conditional formatting I have managed to change the colours of the box so that the background is the same colour as the form unless other is chosen when it reverts to white. However I can't do the same with the border as this is not one of the options provided.

Hi. Does anyone know a way to change the colour of controls depending on their value in a continuous form?
I can change the colour of the current row in a continuous form, but I cannot adapt this so that it changes colour depending on the value (ie conditional formatting)

I have an accounting database with queues that list each requisition's important information (ID, vendor, dates, etc) plus the its status (not yet submitted, approved, ordered, delivered, filed, etc).
I'd like the font of the status field to change color depending on its value. I can't use the standard conditional formatting because there are more than 3 statuses.
I've tried an If/Then statement, but the form only looks at the status of the first record, then colors the font of the status fields for the consecutive records that same color no matter what their value. How do I get it to evaluate per record? As in, if the first record has a Submitted status, its font is blue, but the next record is Ordered so its font is red.
Here's my code, I used it in the OnOpen event for the form:
If req_process_status_rec_id = 2 Then
process_status.ForeColor = 13209
ElseIf req_process_status_rec_id = 1 Then
process_status.ForeColor = 8388608
ElseIf req_process_status_rec_id = 3 Then
process_status.ForeColor = 8388736
ElseIf req_process_status_rec_id = 4 Then
process_status.ForeColor = 16737843
ElseIf req_process_status_rec_id = 5 Then
process_status.ForeColor = 52479
ElseIf req_process_status_rec_id = 7 Then
process_status.ForeColor = 6723891
ElseIf req_process_status_rec_id = 8 Then
process_status.ForeColor = 16711935
End If
Thanks!
Is there a way to use conditional formatting with a date? For instance, in my form I'd like the date field to turn red once a particular date has passed (to show that memberships are expired). Can this be done or am I better to just format a report of upcoming expiration dates?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a continuous form that has several checkboxes in it. Only one is initially enabled and I want the first to impact if the others are enabled, but only in the currently selected record.
I tried VBA but quickly found that this enables/disables the checkboxes in ALL of the records. Next I found out about conditional formatting--which does exactly what I want, but only works on text boxes and combo lists.
Is there any way that conditional formatting can be used to impact (vs. be impacted by) a checkbox?

I work for a doctor, and I am creating a database to assist with surgery scheduling. There are a lot of pieces and parts to this process, and I am building a "bird's eye view" of tasks to be completed, such as "Notified OR," "Sent Surgery Packet," and "Scheduled Post-Op Appt." Each one of these fields has a lookup attached to it with three choices: "Yes," "No," and "Not Needed."
What I want is for the drop-down box with the three choices to be (a) automatically defaulted to "No," (b) immediately turn red if "No" is displayed or immediately turn green if "Yes" or "Not Needed" is displayed. In this way, the goal for our scheduler will be to get all the drop-downs to turn green (an easy visual cue that the patient is ready for surgery) by the date of the procedure.
I have a time/date field. The format for the field is short time hh:mm I created a Private Sub for when the field is double clicked the time is populated.On Double Click:
Private Sub Time_of_Call__DblClick(Cancel As Integer)
Me.[Time of Call:] = Time()
End Sub
It works great. I double click the field and "poof" the time appears. My problem is when the time appears it is in hh:mm:ss..I need it to be in 24 hour/ military time.
I have form with a label and input textbox and a cmmdbutton.In that text box you can fill a number and that number is the scale in minutes.When i click on the cmmdbutton, a table or query shows up with the time and its scale.For example if i put in the form, the number 10 in the textbox and click on the button, A table must show up with the values 00:00, 00:10, 00:20 ,00:30,00:40,00:50,01:00, etc till 23:50.
I was thinking doing it with a loop....
