They are the small green rectangular things underneath a users number of posts. In most forums they are used as a ranking system judged by a users number of posts.
Here's (http://www.lebans.com/tabcolors.htm) a dynamite site with an A97 dowload with code for "colored tabs" which I stumbled onto. I converted the A97 code to A2K and it ran.
Many of you will be able to put this to good use.:)
This is one of those postings about a world-shaking discovery on my part that was boringly obvious to everone else. But here it is.
To make a colored button, create a button like rectangle or, if you want a label, a Label, and overlay it with a Button. Set the Button's Visible Property to No.
im responding to the code you submitted to draw lines on a form. I am trying to change it a bit to only draw dots. I have x and y cordinates that I want to draw on the MS form kinda like a scatter graph. So I want to pass values from a table into the function LineX. Then have the function create dots that draw on the for to corespond to the x and y Cordinates. I was wondering if you could help. thanks in advance
here is the original code Option Compare Database Option Explicit
Private Declare Function LineTo Lib "gdi32" (ByVal hdc As Long, ByVal X As Long, _ ByVal Y As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function MoveToEx Lib "gdi32" (ByVal hdc As Long, ByVal X As Long, _ ByVal Y As Long, lpPoint As Any) As Long
Private Declare Function apiGetDC Lib "user32" Alias "GetDC" _ (ByVal hWnd As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function apiGetFocus Lib "user32" _ Alias "GetFocus" _ () As Long
Public Function LineX(Ctrl As Control, X As Long, Y As Long, cx As Long, cy As Long) Dim DC As Long 'device context Dim hWndCtrl As Long 'bounding control handle hWndCtrl = fhWnd(Ctrl) 'get control handle DC = apiGetDC(hWndCtrl) 'get control DC MoveToEx DC, X, Y, ByVal 0& 'set starting point LineTo DC, cx, cy 'draw line from starting point to cx, cy End Function
Private Function fhWnd(ctl As Control) As Long 'use getfocus to retrieve ctrl handle On Error Resume Next ctl.SetFocus If Err Then fhWnd = 0 Else fhWnd = apiGetFocus End If On Error GoTo 0 End Function
I have imported a data sheet into Access that had certain columns a different color...green...they were colored so that the end user would know which columns were to have input. (visually) Is there anyway that I can keep this format or color the columns in Access? Also the end result is from a Query...does that make a difference ?
Is there a way to have alternating colored records so it is easier to read in a report..Is there a way to have a line around each record to set it aside from other records so they don't blend together.
I have a series of records that I would like organised into groups.For example everyone with the surname Jones who lives in Wales and is between 18-30 years old.I would like a Combobox that has that group sorting visible in some way, possibly with colours.for Example if i had the records:
First Name Surname Country Age
Dave Jones Wales 24 Bob Jones England 28 Fred Jones Wales 19 Jim Jones Wales 22 Ian Jones England 29 Frank Smith Scotland 32
I would like a Combo box that shows the names Dave , Fred and Jim with a background colour of Red then Bob and Ian with a background colour of white and Frank with a background colour of blue.how I group (maybe you can add spaces between the names Dave , Fred & Jim and bob & Ian).
I have a database where I have a number from a client. We copy/paste it from a pdf file. The number has dots in it (1.00.00.000). I would like to create a solution that when I paste the number in the field and go to the next field, it will take out the dots from the number.
I've been using MS access to lift some text files for a number of years
I have now got an issue where by the new machinary is very clever and has alittle server to collect the data. Machine1_127.0.0.1, Machine2_127.0.0.1
Previously I picked them up via ftp and downloaded the data into a text file called Machine1.txt
Now I can run a server where by the Machine1_.txt is created locally on the processing machine
however the software included ( which I can't change) just creates text files like so Machine1_127.0.0.1 and now the link doesn't work when I create the link access throw this:
"Microsoft Jet Database engine could not find the object c:Path to fileMachine1_127.0.0.1.txt. Make sure the object exists and name and Path are correct"
If I manually copy the file and rename it to machine1.txt all is good
Any offers/thoughts or suggestions, the path is quite deep at present and that could be changed.
I can't import the files either? unless I rename them and at the moment I am doing this through the interface
I am creating a table in access and I would like to color code some of the fields if it is possible. There would be multiple green fields to represent it has usable data, Yellow to represent the data is in process and Red to represent bad data. I do not want to color code fields using queries, forms or reports I want to color code the fields in the tables only.
I have a table that is linked to SQL server In this table I have a field that has thepath to an image C:TempImagexxx.pdf What I want to do is have a dropdown that the user can select a Notice Number and then have its image pop up in the form.
I have a Notice Number field and a Path field.
Do I create a Query to query the two fields. Create a Drop Down box and assign the query to the drop down box.
But then how do I get the image to popup...and in what and unbound object frame?
Database is the MS Contacts Template with minor adjustments.
1. Trying to insert a link to an image using a bound OLE object in my form. Now I've got it top work. However, the link appears normal size in the centre of the object box. Problem is when I resize the oject box so that llink text just fits fine. The text resizes with the box and you need a microscope to read it.
2. I want to be able to cerate merged letter but I cant select Tools>Merge it with MS word fro some reason (i've aslo tried with with DB's we use in work with same problem) but publish with Word is available.:confused:
I am by no means an expert with Access so please, please post replies in lamens terms.
I did a cursory search of the forum and didn't find anything (probably more my search than the content). I also think I know the answer to this, but I want to clear it up once and for all.
Is it true that I cannot insert an image into an Access Table in a way that it treats the image like data (e.g., it comes up on reports as entered).
If so, and I suspect it is so, what would be the best way to associate a row with a certain image in Access? Here's what I'm hoping to do: I have a list of projects and all of them have a status. Right now the "status" column includes the text "Green," "Yellow," or "Red." I would rather have this text display as green, yellow, or red color rather than text. Is this possible?
I got a questions and maybe you prof. can help me out
I got a table with all employees in it
Example
John Doil Mina Lizo Sholly Nopi
etc.
Its has 250 records.
I also got all the pictues of them But the pictures have the following name
John_Doil_.jpg Mina_Lizo_.jpg Sholly_Nopi_.jpg
Also i still have pictues from ex employees.
I have all the filepaths of the jpg in a table.
Is there a way to link the 2 tables based on first name Or make a extra cell and in a query take the names for the _ that takes out and put it in that cell.
Sorry for my bad english if you got question plz ask
Before you ask, yes I did search, but no it didn't help...
OK, database is storing members, so each member record needs to have a picture of them. I've made a field in the members table for the path of the image. I've followed the example here - http://www.utteraccess.com/candace/candace/picture/picture.zip , but I keep getting the error 'You can't reference a property or method for a control unless the control has the focus.' When I've tried to set the focus to it I get the error '# can't move the focus to the control MemberImage.'
I have a DB that has a table called tblproductList. In the table i have a field called Image. I have made this field a Text Field. I have entered product details and have entered ghd.jpg in the Image field. this reflects the image i have stored in the same directory as the DB. I have a form and i want to call the image into the form. How is this done?
I have created a report in access 2000. What I wish to do is insert a signature on this report and as I scroll through the report, the signatures change. The fields on the report are name, major and dean.
The signatures reside on the "c" drive on the computer. This report is based on a query. I wish to link the signatures to a specific field(dean) so as I scroll through the report the signatures changes with the report.
I have searched the forums for a solution, but I am having difficulty.
Is it possible to efficiently store images in an Access database without having to install custom COM files and the like on your server?
I know it's possible to store them using OLE objects but I've heard this adds a significant amount of data to the image when storing. Is this correct?
Does anyone know how I could get around this? I'm interfacing the DB via the web, unfortunately I have to use an access DB for the task and can't tinker with the server.
I've embedded images in my table, OLE embedded.When i create a report i can add a bound frame but when i preview the report all i get is the generic image icon (its a jpg), the filename and the words (command line).
