View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a short date field 5/20/2014
I would like to set up a conditional format to format those fields in the current month. For example, this month is would format all fields with "5".
Next month all fields with "6"
In the month space.
I can't seem to figure out the expression, I know I'm close.
I wanted to assign the field "Number of magazine" with special format based on date/time format but showing only year and month in the format: "yyyy-mm".
So in property of this field in format I put yyyy-mm and in input mask I type 0000-00;;-
I also created the form based on the table containing above field and I defined format and input mask for corresponding formant in the same way like at the table.
But if I try to type date for example 2014-01 in text box of the form it comes up with the full date 2014-01-01. Why does it do like this? What do I do incorrectly?
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 would like to have a conditional formating colour of green if the field contains a value like 10%..If the field has no value and is blank there will not be any background color change
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy table fields are as follows:
1. Issued? (This is a lookup field with the following lists "Yes"; "No"; "NA")
2. IssueDate
I created a subform bound to the table.I wish to accomplish the following on the form:
1. If "No" is selected on the [Issued?] field, I want the [IssueDate] to gray out.
2. If "Yes" is selected, I want [IssueDate] to be required.
I set Conditional Formatting as follows:
Expression is ([Issued?]="No"), condition is disabled.
When I tested it, [IssueDate] grayed out when "No" was selected. However, when I select "Yes", it still remained grayed out.
I am attempting to update an oracle table using MS Access.
One of the fields to be updated is a primary key number field.
I'd like to use the autoincrement field to update that field.
My sql is:
Code:
Alter table testAutoNum Add column progid autoincrement (1001,2)
This sql nicely creates the new field in the table, but it doesn't start at 1001 and increment by 2; it starts and 1 and increments by 1.It is also creating an autonumber and I need it to be a number.
What am I doing wrong?
I have some code that creates a table based off another table. This code works perfect but Im trying to alter my ID field and change it to an auto increment. How can I fix my code so that it alters my ID field?

I have some Conditional Formatting of a Currency Field in an Entry Form. The cell is conditionally formatted with a yellow background when the value is zero.
I now wish to add an additional condition to the expression such that even if the value is zero it will not be formatted if a specific check box is TRUE.
I have tried modifying the expression such that it reads;
[currency field]=0 AND [check box]<>TRUE.
It correctly turns off the conditional formatting if the check box is ticked, but does not turn it on again when the check box is unticked.
I am trying to get the text in a couple text boxes to turn green if a certain Yes/No field is left blank.
I know the conditional formatting is working, because condition 1 and 3 are working fine (those expressions are referencing text fields).
I would like to have Condition 2 look at [DM_Approval] from the bound query and if it is unchecked, execute the conditional formatting.
I've tried all kinds of statements, but i'm starting to think that the expressions in the conditional formatting window just won't work when referencing a yes/no field.
Specifically (at the very least) i know i tried [DM_Approval]=False, [DM_Approval]=No, [DM_Approval]=0, and [DM_Approval] is null.
I need to change the format of a date column from Short Date to a custom format. Does anyone know how I can do that with an ALTER TABLE command in SQL? I know how to alter a column and set the data type, I just can't figure out how to set the format for the date.

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.
we would like to enter text that is always in this format,2013 04 11 / 09:15...I have tried using the field as date, with the formatting of yyyy mm dd / hh:mm...but the records keep showing a data entry problems with this format.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have recently upgraded my Access 2003 application to Access 2010. I am running into a problem when formatting a textbox to 'Long Time' that is linked to a Double type field. The error that I get is 'The value you entered isn't valid for this field. You may have entered text in a numeric field or a number that is larger than the FieldSize setting permits.'
The textbox is linked to a field (double data type) and displays as the time in long format (4:06:17 PM). When I try to change to 4:07:17 PM I get the error. I tried removing the 'PM' and the colons but the error still occurs. The only way that I can get it to work is if I use a double value (0.735405092592593). In Access 2003 the time value would display properly, allow me to change the time and then save the time as a double to the database.
I have a continuous form that displays data from a table. What I am trying to accomplish is to change the format of the field if the string length is equal to 11, to "@@@-@@@-@@@@-@". Otherwise if it is greater or less than 11 then no format.
I have tried it using code:
If Len(Me.FormFieldName)=11 Then
Me.FormFieldName.Format = "@@@-@@@-@@@@-@"
End If
Is it even possible and if so is my syntax correct or am I way off base?
I have a table (Table 1) with a field (F1) that has a numeric value. The data in this table is imported trough an excel and is going to be updated regularly.
F1 consists of a four digit number (1234) but if the first one, two or three numbers are a zero (ie. 0033) Access only display "33". I have solved this in Querys by using: Format([Table 1.[F1];"0000").How do i use Format([Table 1.[F1];"0000") or similar when i display data from Table 1 -> F1 in a form?
Is there a way to format a memo field to ensure that sentences begin with capital letters. There might have been something in the strConv function, but it seems my hopes are dashed?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a pop up window that maximizes and the need to format a Memo Field to users specification.
Unfortunately the Mini Popup Bar that comes up when you select text is very shy and annoying when it doesn't show up. It's Completely Unreliable.
So I thought I'll make the Controls on the form for Bold,Italic... etc but I can't seem to get the code to work.
My TextField is a Memo and I have changed the TextFormat to RichText, but I cannot use any of the commands like .SelBold or .SelColor etc.. It gives me a Compile Error: Member or Data Member Not found.
I don't understand why? Is there a Add In/Reference that I need to include?
Dear all,
I have a query that is based on orders table and contains "Qty", 'UnitCost', and "ctualUnitCost", in addition to yes/no control to indicate if "SalesTax" is applicable.
I want an expression in the query to calculate total cost in one of 2 conditions:
if no sales tax then TotalCost = Qty*UnitCost
if sales tax is applicable then Total cost = Qty*UnitCost*1.1
how can I write this expression
thanks
I am developing a simple database in Access 97, where users have to enter values manually into a form. There is one field called product. Depending on that entry, either field language or country would have to be blocked to avoid invalid entries.
Do you have any ideas on how to approach that problem?
Is there a way to apply conditional formatting on a field based on the contents of another field?
For example, lets say I have the following fields
START_DATE
APPROVED_DATE
CAT#
DAYS_OPEN
The DAYS_OPEN field is automatically calculated in the query and is not a stored date.
My criteria is that if CAT# is 3, my days open should not exceed 30 but if my CAT# is 1 or 2, my days open should not exceed 60. I want to apply conditional formatting so that it turns yellow at approximately 80% of the date limit and red at approximately 90% of the date limit, otherwise the conditional formatting is green.
I know how to do conditional formatting, but no sure if it can be modified based on the content of another field.
Thanks for any suggestions.

I have a calculated field on the detail level of a report which is calculated as follows:
=Iif([BREAK]>1200 AND [LUNCH]<>0),1800-[BREAK],IIF([BREAK]<>0,900-[BREAK],0))
This calculates correctly, however when I put the following calculated field in the Group footer section of the report, I receive a "statement too complex" error message:
=1800-Avg(Iif([BREAK]>1200 AND [LUNCH]<>0),1800-[BREAK],IIF([BREAK]<>0,900-[BREAK],0))
The calculation for the Group footer works in Access 97 so I know that syntactically the statement is correct.
Can anyone tell me why this will not work in Access 2003 and provide a work around so I can get the Average of the calculated Detail section field.
Thank you.
I have a form that pulls in open project information that has a datetime field called "Duetime". What I'm attempting to do is that when this datetime field is less than 1 hour away, to turn the field background orange. Also, if less than 30 minutes to actually being past due, then it would be red.
