Forms :: Use Conditional Formatting To Indicate Mismatch Between 2 Of Identical Fields

Nov 4, 2014

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?

Forms :: Conditional Formatting - Change Back Color Of Fields

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.

Aug 1, 2014

Need to confirm whether the Default formatting option in the Conditional formatting Dialog won't work in datasheet view of a form.

Reports :: Conditional Formatting On Row Of Fields

Apr 29, 2014

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.

General :: Conditional Formatting Of Report Fields

Dec 11, 2012

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??

Modules & VBA :: Conditional Formatting With Like - Colouring Fields Within A Form

Jul 5, 2014

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

Reports :: Conditional Formatting On Multiple Fields Based On Two Criteria

Sep 24, 2014

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.

Conditional Formatting Continuous Forms

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)

Conditional Formatting On Continuous Forms

Nov 7, 2005

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!

Forms :: Use Conditional Formatting With A Date?

Jul 11, 2013

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?

Forms :: Conditional Formatting For Checkbox?

Nov 24, 2013

I 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?

Forms :: Conditional Formatting On Continuous Subform?

Jan 4, 2015

I 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.

Forms :: Change Color With Conditional Formatting

Oct 18, 2013

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.

Forms :: Conditional Formatting For Choices And Printing In Color

Aug 23, 2013

I 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.

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.

Forms :: Conditional Formatting On A Lookup Field List

Mar 5, 2014

My 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.

Forms :: Conditional Formatting Based On Value In Targets Table

Oct 15, 2014

I have a form which basically has - employee, work done, hours and a calculated field (w/hour) of work done/hours

I can manually set the conditional formatting however as time changes targets will go up and it would be easier to update the targets in another 'admin form' (i can manage that part)

Its just referencing the other table to say the likes of :

if work per hour is greater than tbltargets.convtargetmid then vborange, if work per hour is greater than tbltargets.convtargethigh then vbgreen else vbred.
