If NULL Then Change Background Colour

Aug 26, 2004

Im trying to change the background colour of some fields if the value is null or missing, but I'm not quite sure how to handle the coding. The fields in question are title, given name and surname, and if they are empty I want to change the background colour to highlight to users that they need to collect this information.
Any help that you can provide would be great!

Change Background Colour !

Jan 24, 2007

Hi,

I'm currently using MS Access 2002.

I use forms to display client info and i would like to know if the following is possible, and if so, how ?

When a clients installation date is older than 6months old (date is in a text box) i would like the form's background to change colour for that paticular client.

eg/ if the clients installation date was 7 months ago, the form's background would change red - but only to that client.

Kinds Regards
Chris

Tab Background Colour

Apr 26, 2006

This should be an easy one for somebody. I'm a newbie to access and I'm experimenting with a tabbed form. My problem is if I create a new form with (say) two tabs, the area to the right of the tabs(where more tabs would be inserted) is white and I don't know how to change it to blend in with the rest of the page. Hope I'm making myself clear.:(

Background Colour

Oct 18, 2006

Hi
We have created some forms using (in some cases) the form wizard.
As you may know you have to select a "Background Style" when using the wizard.
Now we want to change the background from one of these styles to a colour - but when we select it in Properties and try to apply it, it seems to flicker but does not seem to have any effect.
Can anybody help us out please ?
many thanks

Tab Control Background Colour

Apr 17, 2007

Hi all,

I have been searching for a setting that enables me to change the background colour of a tab control on a form. It may be something obvious that I have missed.

Changing the type to 'transparent' and setting the form background colour does not seem to work.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Rob

Changing Field Background Colour

Mar 31, 2006

I'm opening a form in snapshot view and would like the background colour of all the fields in the form to be a dark colour to show that it is in snapshot. the user then clicks Amend and the background colour would change to something lighter to show they can amend the record. Is there any way of on the OnClick event of the Amend button change all the fields (and there's lots) at once without having to name them all individually, ie:

Me.text1.background = whatever
me.text2.background = whatever

Thanks

Unbound Subform Background Colour

Jun 27, 2006

Hi guys,

Something that's been bothering me. I have a unbound subform which acts as a placeholder for other subforms rotating on it (by changing the SourceObject), that way all the relevant subforms appear in the right place when required. It works great except, it's this great big white box and there's no option to change the background colour anywhere. I would like it to be either transparent or have an option to change it to the same colour as my main form it sits on.

Any way to do this?

General :: Remove Background Colour When Outputting To PDF

Mar 20, 2014

I have a form with subform that uses colour as background colour for all fields on the form, and also a very light background for the whole form. This outputs very well to PDF, retaining all of the layout etc.

However, consisting of over 100 pages I do not want any colour at all in the printed report, no do I want the colour converted to black or grey. Inkjet cartridges are just too expensive!

Is there an easy way to remove all colour before printing or do I have to design another report?

Forms :: Changing Background Colour Automatically

Jun 16, 2014

Here, what I am trying to learn, that background of the form change its colour automatically after sometime let say 1 min or after 2 min

I find the link on the web where more than 500 colour code are available, but not sure, how I can use [URL] ....

I can put this command on form_load()
Me.Detail.BackColor = ?????????
but question is how i can bring other colour into loop

Plus, if the user want to do any work on the same form, will this loop also allow the user to do any work, I mean form should not be stuck up in the loop of changing a colour...

Change Label Colour

Nov 3, 2006

Ok what I would like to do is have a switchboard with a number of command buttons on, each button opens to a form with a few fields within them.

Is it possible for the initial switchboard labels to be 'red', then as the related form is opened and populated the switchboard label turns 'amber' and once the form is complete the switchboard label is 'green'. See example piccie attached, to get a better understanding!

This is to enable multiple users to see at a glance the status of various jobs.

If anyone knows how I can go about this or suggest any alternatives, I'm open to suggestion.

Thanks in advance

Change The Font Colour For The Whole Form?

Jan 17, 2006

I've been working on a database for quite a while now, and i've now given it out for testing, and i've come across a little problem. One of the users is colour blind, and the colour theme i've used throughout this database is causing him problems.

I have a function that can single him out when he logs in, question is, is there a way i can change the font colour for the whole database in one go through code??

I have around 12 forms with many controls and labels, i'm kind of hoping i don't have to name each control and label separately to change the font colour.

Please tell me that there’s some clever piece of code that can change the font colour on a form in one hit…..


Regards

Darren.

Change Colour Dependant On Field Value

Jun 28, 2006

Hello,

First please accept my apologies if this has been done before. In the attached database I am going to have a form which is continous what I am looking to do is change the colour of the box which is in the background to the associated colour from the quote table for example

if they choose water then it will look at the TBLQuoteType and change the box colour to the colour which has been assigned to that value.

Hope this explains it ok I will continue to try and figure it out but I thought I could also use your expert knowledge.

I have some code here that is changing the color of a txt box in my form based on the value in the text box. Everything is working great. The only problem is that I have a sub form with many tabs and many, many txt boxes. I would have to replicate this code hundreds of times....

I just want a general statement that targets the entire form

CODE:


Private Sub Lower_Level_Concession_Inside_COUNTERS_AfterUpdate ()
If Lower_Level_Concession_Inside_COUNTERS = "2" Then
Me.Lower_Level_Concession_Inside_COUNTERS.ForeColo r = 255 'The New color.

Change The Colour Of A TextBox / Field Depending On It's Value?

Jun 7, 2006

Hello fellow programmers, I have a tricky one for you. We have decided to split our local City up into different zones. Giving each zone a number and assigning it a colour. I have a form with all the customers who want jobs done in different parts of the city. This form has a text box on it called: Zone - (which has a 3 digit number it it). I want the colour of the text box to change depending on the Zone number, in the continuous Form view. So all the customers living in Zone=111, will have a Red background colour (color), all living in Zone=222 will have a Green background colour. I know conditional formatting through the properties of the Form can be used, but it only allows me to select 3 different situations. I have many more than 3 colours that I want to assign. I am working on a VB module to define what colour numbers from the MS Access Colour Map will be assigned to each Zone number. How can I now apply this module to the form, so when it opens, all the customers who live in Zone=111 will have a Red coloured background, those living in Zone=222 will have a green colour background, etc?

If it is possible to change the format properties of a menu/toolbar could someone please point me in the direction of some guidance/ let me know how to go about it I would appreciate it.
