Forms :: Toggle Box That Changes Color Font?
Aug 2, 2013
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.

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.

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?

I am currently in the process of creating a pop-up menu to allow my users to do some simple text formatting.I have used the following code to do so:
Code:
Dim cmbShortcutMenu As Office.CommandBar
' Create the new pop-up menu instance
Set cmbShortcutMenu = CommandBars.Add("popupFormatMenu", msoBarPopup, False, True)
' Add the bold button
[code]....
The problem is that I now want to add the FontColor picker control and I keep getting an error.I think the problem lies in the type of control I want to add. According to the Microsoft support files I downloaded the fontColor control is of type Gallery and ID = 11949, so the code should look something like this:
Code:
cmbShortcutMenu.Controls.Add Type:=msoControlButton, id:=11949
I need to replace msoControlButton with something else.

I did some searching on changing the color of a font if you change the data. I found a few posts but they really don't fit the need.
I am using a continuous form (which makes this even more difficult) and when someone changes data in a field I want that forecolor to change from black to red.
Is there an easy way (I know not everything is easy) :) in the conditional formatting to create an event? I am thinking not but thought I would ask.
My GUESS is that I need some sort of temp table to verify the data against then return with the forecolor change.
I am using A2k.
Thanks RichB

I believe thats the proper word for it. Attached is a screenshot of a section of the database that I have started working on. It is to track placement for a college. Its my first ever and I am fairly good at making things look good, but as far as function - I am terrible.
I can change the raised box that the tab control sits on to a dark maroon when someone has a felony (so it notifies the user of this status)
Private Sub Form_Current()
If [Felony] = True Then
Felonybox.BackStyle = 1
Felonybox.BackColor = RGB(159, 19, 44)
Else
Felonybox.BackStyle = 1
Felonybox.BackColor = RGB(208, 207, 202)
End If
End Sub
I also have this done on After_Update.
I am trying to change the font on the Tab Control to Red when this occurs as well (only change the 'Criminal History CONFIDENTIAL' to red). I can not find this option anywhere, is this something that has been done or CAN be done?

(Simplified example)
On a form I have a combo box - let's call it cmboSickness. it has two options "flu" and "malaria". On the same form I have two command buttons - one ehich opens a malaria form and one which opens a flu form. If I select flu then I want the words on the flu command button to change to red. How do I do this and where do I put the code?
I have tried -
If me.cmbosickness=flu then
cmdflu.color=255
but this doesn't work...

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.

Is it possible to use two color fonts on one label? I want to bring attention to the user that by clicking a certain button they can perform a search by "Name" and by clicking on the other button, they can perform a search by "Appointment".
I have a switchboard type form with some buttons. The two buttons in question are labeled, "Search for Appts by Name" and "Search for Appts by Appointment". I want to keep the "Search for" section of the button in black font, but change the "by Appointment" and "by Name" to red font.

We 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.

I am attempting to adjust the font color of a date field on a report based on the value of two other fields. I have the below code set in the "On Format" property of my detail section - however it does not work when I open the report to view.
Private Sub Detail_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer)
If Me.Frequency = "Annually" Then
If Me.ClassDate < (DateAdd("yyyy", -1, Date)) Then
Me.ClassDate.ForeColor = vbRed
Me.ClassDate.FontBold
End If
End If
End Sub

My list box will be used to populate a form, is it possible that once the item is dble-clicked, it reverts to a different color to let the user know it has already been selected once or can the row be locked once it has been selected?

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.

I am experiencing a problem in MS Access 2013. I have a form which was working just fine until now. It has form labels in Calibri font and their font colour is one shade lighter than black. Today, I changed the font colour of the form labels to be Automatic - black (shows as 'Text 1' colour in the form properties). I did this in Design view.
I find that when I switch to layout view, the font of the labels appears as Century Gothic. This is the font that appears in the Form view. So while the font colour is correctly changed, the font name is not what I had set in the Design view. When I go back to the Design view, and change the font colour back to the original colour which was one shade lighter than black (Text 1, Lighter 50%), the font is correct in the Layout view and the Form view (Calibri).
So it seems that there is some sort of binding between the font colour (black) and the font name (Century Gothic). When I change the font colour, the font also changes. When I restore the original colour (one shade lighter than black), the font Calibri is correctly retained.

Is there a way to show the toggle buttons in an option group as NOT selected when the form first loads up? I've cleared all the default value properties in the table and the form but it always loads as showing one of the buttons pressed/selected. I want the form to load and both buttons in the group look the same.

I am making a specialty form where it must toggle on or off when the user clicks on a boxed area. Since toggle backgrounds cannot be set to transparent, I need to do it some other way. I thought of either using a button to control a hidden checkbox, or just writing code altogether. The problem is that I don't know what code to use to programmatically change the state each time the box is clicked.

I am attempting to create a toggle on a form that would instruct a query which criteria to use.
Specifically they are date criteria. I want to be able to toggle between evaluating on a start basis verse a ship basis.
If the toggle is set to 'Start Date', the query would use the start date as its criteria. If the toggle is set to 'Ship Date" it would use the ship date.
The other complication is that within the query, "Start Date" and "Ship Date" are two separate fields always contained in the query, so how do I write the query so that it only applies criteria to the appropriate field based on the toggle setting?

I would like to create a command button on the header of a form. The button should perform a toggle switch: click once to activate the task and click it again returning original state. I can create the command button to perform a task but do not know how to return to original state. The button should have indicator showing which state is in.

I have a form with about 40 Toggle buttons on it. I want the form to populate from a table. This table stores the status from rooms.
My table name is [Room]
Fields [Room] and [Room_Status]
I want to call the button BtnBS1 (Room BS1) and if the status for that room is occupied the button when loaded will be RED, and if it is available it must be green.
I want the form to be an graphical overview of what rooms are occupied and what rooms are available. By clicking on a green room I want another form to open to allow me to fill it with data.
How do I point to the table when I load the form?

I have a form with about 10 subforms on it, all of which have queries as source objects. All of these queries are based off the same table which contains a field for Customer. What I would like to do is have a toggle button on this form that, once pressed, essentially adds a "not like" criteria to each of these subforms' queries EXNot Like "Customer_A"). When depressed, the queries/subforms should exist as is.
My first issue is that when I add a toggle button, the control wizard does not start. It starts up fine for any other control, however. For example, I imagine that on the After Update event of the toggle button I would requery each of the subforms, but I'm not sure how to add the "not like" criteria to each of the underlying queries.

I currently have two forms. One being my main form and the other being a pop-up form to update e-mail addresses. On my main form, I have a button that is currently programmed to generate several e-mails. Before those e-mails are generated, I would like the pop-up form to appear asking for any updates to e-mail addresses. Once the pop-up form is closed, I would like the code on my main form to continue.

I have a form. On this form is a tab control with 5 tabs. Four of these tabs have subforms on them. The 5th tab is sort of a "settings" page. What I would like to do is have a button on the 5th tab, that toggles the subforms on the other four pages between the regular form view, and datasheet view.I know I can use the "DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSubformDatasheet" to do this, however I am unsure as to how to apply it to the subforms on the other tabs. They aren't "in focus" so the command won't work properly.

I have a tab control at the bottom of my main form, and some of the tab pages contain subforms. On one of the subforms I have created a filter to divide the content into "complete" and "incomplete." I have also added a toggle button option group to the subform to toggle the filter (one button for "complete" and one for "incomplete"). I'm using a macro to apply the filter, but it isn't working. The filter does work properly if I use the "Toggle Filter" button on the Ribbon, but I want to create something a little more user friendly.
I have :
Main form: Search_by_name
Subform: Action_Items
Underlying table: tbl_Action_Items
Subform control: sfctlActionItems
Toggle button option group: tgl_Complete_Incomplete
Here's the macro as it stands right now:
If [tgl_Complete_Incomplete]=-1 Then
ApplyFilter
Filter Name
Where Condition =(([tbl_Action_Items].[Completed])=True)
Control Name [Forms]![Search_by_name]![sfctlActionItems].[Form]![tgl_Complete_Incomplete]
Else
RunMenuCommand
Command RemoveFilterSort
End If
I get the error message "The 'ApplyFilter' action requires a valid control name that corresponds to a subform or subreport."
If I remove the content of the Control Name field and open the subform independently (i.e. not as a subform), everything works fine.

I have a form that some fields have gray font instead of black. All of the properties seem to be the same as the other fields. The issue has to do with the 'Manage Sales Order' Form in the 'Products' Database.

I have sever forms and selecting a Theme Font work fine with all except one form.
The field is a Memo Field (I have other forms with different memo fields and they are fine) that just doesn't want to use the Theme Font(s). I have several Theme Fonts and it doesn't work with any of them.
So far I've deleted the control saved it and then put it back... no good. I even created a new form and the same thing happens.
