Modules & VBA :: Change Form BackColor With CMD Button
Mar 2, 2015I am trying to change form backcolor with a cmd button via VBA.
View RepliesI am trying to change form backcolor with a cmd button via VBA.
View RepliesI wish to change the backcolor of a field on a current record being dispalyed in a 'multiple items' form. However when using me.A.backcolor = makes refrence to all fields called A on the 'multiple items' form and therefore all fields change colour not just the current record.
View 2 Replies View RelatedA user requested a change that would change the form header and detail back ground color to white when they click the button print record and then change the color back all in one click after the record prints. I keeping getting a run time error, type mismatch on the line where to code is to be changed. The colors are numbers not vbColors. I am using Access 2007.
Code:
Me.FormHeader.BackColor = "#FFFFFF"
Me.Detail.BackColor = "#FFFFFF"
I have a randomized table named tblRandomBoxes with the following data:
ID RandomID
1 4
2 5
3 2
4 6
5 1
6 3
I have 6 command buttons named command1,command2,command3, etc. and 6 Labels named Label1,Label2, Label3, etc. On Click of each command button, I want to lookup the ID based on the RandomID and set the backcolor of that label number to a different color.
ie) on command1 click me.Label4.backcolor = 39835
How can I 'build' the label number with the lookup? Here's the code I'm trying, but it doesn't recognize my 'built' label number:
Private Sub command1_Click()
Dim ctl As Control
ctl = "Label" & DLookup("ID", "tblRandomBoxes", "RandomID = 1")
Me.ctl.BackColor = 39835
End Sub
Thanks,

Hi all,
Is it possible to change the Background color of a command button?
Whan I right click in the properties of the command button I cannot see a BackColor property. Further, when I programatically try to change the BackColor property in VBA I get an error message.
Thanks in advance

I have a subform with two fields [status] and [process], i am trying to get the backcolor of procces to change to red if the status field contains the text "expired".
I have tried vba. plced on the after update
if me.status = "expired" then
me.process.backcolor = vbred
else me.process backcolor = vbwhite
end if
this
Changes the color of the field [process] but also all process field colors to red even if the status field does not contain "expired".
I think conditional formatting is the way to go but i think i need an expression to complete this.
I would like to change color of border button on mouseover event. How it to do?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm using a label as a button so it looks nicer, but if I press it without officially exiting the last text field I was in, then that text field doesn't update, so the vba believes it's blank or whatever it was.
I could manually setfocus to a couple different fields or have a teeny field thats hard to see to set focus to, but these both seem roundabout.
I would like to know if this is possible using VBA ( or other method)
I want to determine the back color o a cell based on a color value stored in another cell in other word
backcolor of cell A = the value of cell B
So if I change the numbers of cell B (which is color codes) , backcolor of cells A change accordingly and it will have the color specified in cell B.
Newbie here. Just trying to make a characteristic (e.g., color) of a button change based upon contents of a form field. Can anyone please adivise. All help is greatly appreciated.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have created a form in Access 2010 that opens in view only mode. I do this as I do not want data being changed in error. There are times when the user may need to edit some data on the form.
Any way to place an "Edit" button on the form that allows the user to edit the current record? I thought about creating two sepasrate forms, but I really don't want to maintain two of them.
I have a main form and four subforms all of which were created from the tables without queries. The main form pulls employees personal data (never changes). The subforms pull Events attended, Lodging at the event, Family that attended the event and Employee minutia which changes per event. I'd like to have a button on the main form that changes the records in view for all of the subforms at once. This way it is easier for the users and I know that I am view all the pertainent info for event A instead of viewing event A's lodging info with event B's family info.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to change the button color on a subform if a related form data changes.Main form is products with a continuous subform with serial numbers of products i.e, serial number, location, price and a button to add addtional issues if there are any for this particular serial number (this will open up another form related to the serial number so I can add an issues if there are any).The reason I would like the button to be a different color is so I can quickly see if there are any additional notes been added to the serial number. Just in case you may ask why not add the field to the continuos form is that the issues and be quite lengthy and there may be lots of serial numbers on the form

I created one normal method query of ACCESS "QueryEQ" on that table , but every time I want to change any criteria I have to edit manual direct to query design .
What I need to do now is to create a form with one combo box showing all "model" and after select any mode I have to press command bottom to change the criteria of the model of the existing query "QueryEQ" and run it and show the result in a subform in same form.
I'm working with a form someone else created and am adding a delete button. I've managed to add the button and get some code working which will delete a record from a table. The problem I'm having is that after the delete operation occurs all fields in the form, and the corresponding items below the form, show #Deleted in all fields. How can I force a refresh using code?
View 11 Replies View RelatedI have a form where customer data is entered. one field serves as a criteria for a query. If, for example, A is selected in the form the query uses the criteria "A" in the X field f query. However, if B is selected in the form, the query uses the criteria "B" in Y field of query.
I can easily do this by setting up two queries and having criteria A run in X field of query and similarly for B. However, it seems as if there should be a way for me to have one query and simply use the criteria in a different field.So, is there VBA that will update a given query's SQL to use one criteria in one case and another critiera in another case?
I have a form (Form4) which has a a list box (list11) that allows multi select. When I select on the records I need I hit a button that opens a form up with the selected records. This form is a continuous form. I have an unbound combo box (Combo55). Its values come from a specific table. I want to hit a button and change the field "Assigned" on all the records showing to the value that I selected in Combo55.
The problem is it only changes the value of the currently selected record. How Do I get it to change the value of all records that are showing?
I am only testing this idea with default field names. Before I implement the database I have to get a working model and present it. So I am building this and naming at the moment isnt important.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI currently use code in a module and code on each form in the on_load event to change the icon of the form.. the code i use is as follows..
in a module:
Code:
Private Declare PtrSafe Function GetSystemMetrics Lib "user32" (ByVal nIndex As Long) As Long
Private Const WM_SETICON = &H80
Private Const IMAGE_ICON = 1
Private Const LR_LOADFROMFILE = &H10
Private Const SM_CXSMICON As Long = 49
Private Const SM_CYSMICON As Long = 50
[Code] ....
And on each form on load:
Code:
SetFormIcon Me.hWnd, "k: est directoryhsicon.ico"
What I am wondering is would it be possible to store the .ico file within the DB file itself (i know access can store bitmaps) and reference the .ico in the form load event code?
Overtime the db file will probably move to its own dedicated storage so using a direct reference to the file wont work..
I have tried the following but get an error (it tries to reference the .ico file as to being in the root directory of the db file)
Code:
SetFormIcon Me.hWnd, Left(CurrentDb.Name, Len(CurrentDb.Name) - Len(Dir(CurrentDb.Name))) & "hsicon.ico"
I have a button on a form which calls a module to show a calendar form. The user picks date and time, and saves it. The calendar form closes and adds the date and time to a text box on the initial form.I want to save the record so that the underlying table/query is updated, but it's not working. The record is not saved until the initial form is closed.Here's the form vba...
Code:
Option Compare Database
Option Explicit
Private blnFlag As Boolean, blnSaveIt As Boolean
Private Sub btnDelete_Click()

I tried this code to change the label to display the full name of the state on the form. Is there a shorter way than putting 49 more states after the if?

lblTxtSt = txtState

lblTxtSt.BackColor = 15658720
lblTxtSt.Visible = True

Had a combobox so the user could choose between two data entry formats.They don't want the combobox, they want the user to enter data into one or the other textbox - and that choice to trigger the format.Two groups of text box - group 1 has a single text box - group 2 has three text box. When the user selects a text box and types the first character into it. This triggers locking out the other group choice and enables the <Validate and Edit> command button.
If the user backs out (deletes) the text in a text box.It basically makes both groups available again and it disables the <Validate and Edit> command button.Basically, if the text box Change event counts a character, it changes the text box Tag to "Bust". Then it calls a common routine that checks both text boxes.The choice won't take place if the textbox gets focus. It changes if a text box has 1 or more character typed in.
Code:
Sub WhosOnFirst()
' two groups of Required field - if one textbox in a group has a character entered first
' that group becomes the Format - enables the <Validate and Accept> button that will take the next setp

I have been trying to create a login form that allows the user to change his/her temporary password logging it to the proper table along with timestamp and who done it info.But, after spending the morning trying to find the proper syntax I am flummoxed.
I can get everything to work accept the update of the fields. I can get the command to work (writes to the location) but it does the pop-up what is the parameter thing when it works. I have all the information just need to get it in so the command recognizes it.
DoCmd.SetWarnings False
DoCmd.RunSQL "UPDATE lut_TeamList SET Pass = txt_Password.value WHERE TeamListID = Me.cbo_UserName.Value"
DoCmd.RunSQL "UPDATE lut_TeamList SET UpdatedBy = Me.cbo_UserName.Value WHERE TeamListID = Me.cbo_UserName.Value"
DoCmd.RunSQL "UPDATE lut_TeamList SET UpdatedWhen = Now() WHERE TeamListID = Me.cbo_UserName.Value
DoCmd.SetWarnings True
I have a continuous form with a text field that says "Select". There are two other fields, one of which is Brand. When the Brand Combo box has nothing in it I want the text box to appear (instructing the user to select a Brand) But once the user selects a Brand and goes to the next records, I would like the "Select" in only that record to become not visible. I tried conditional formatting but can't apply that to an unbound control ( or at least it is grayed out when I select the text box) and any other possible solutions I have found changes all of the selects - not only the one in the changed record.
