Modules & VBA :: Conditional Formatting After Page Break
Jan 13, 2014
Is it possible to do conditional formating after a page break?
I have been given someone elses mess to clean up. It is a massive procedure which runs dozens of queries, then formats the results and pastes them into a word file at given bookmarks
For most tables there is one record for each lake. However there are several where many entries per lake. The logic being applied is that the font colour for the column is made white, then for each first instance of a lake name the font colour for that cell is made black again.
The problem is there are many times were the first row of data on a new page is not the first record for a particular lake making the reader have to flip back to the previous page to double check which lake they are looking at data for.
So what I want to do is leave the existing logic, and just add turning additional cell's (Column 1, after a page break) font colour back to black.
I created a form that applies conditional formats depending on a field. It works fine, until you enter data into one of the conditionally formatted fields, then all hell breaks loose. Conditional formats totally go away and the cells go to #error.
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
I have a folder that .csv files which are connected to my database are updating in. Once the .csv that i specify updates I want a color box to turn green. Is there a way to do this? Maybe just use when the linked text file updates?
Hey, I tried searching for this one, but I'm not really sure what to search for.
I am running a report that is double sided. However, I do not want the start of the next group, on the same physical page. I also do not want a starting blank page (as I thought about inserting a blank page after the section).
Any way to do this?
Maybe I have to write a function or something? Depending on if the page is an even or odd number? I honestly have no idea.
I am trying to page break my report to have it where the first name and surname of the employee has a separate page with the details of each appointment.
I have tried to do it via format on properties but it does not work..
I have attached an image of how the report appears.
Need to confirm whether the Default formatting option in the Conditional formatting Dialog won't work in datasheet view of a form. Please note that all conditional criteria are working fine but not the Default Formatting option - only in the Datasheet view (In Single Form view the default formatting is working fine)
I created a report that would generate, among others, a listbox on monthly payments. How do I make it spill-over to the next page when its contents have already exceeded that of a single paper?
I have been working on this for over a week in Access 2010 and I know that I am almost there, but need getting over this last hurdle as I have a severe case of tunnel vision on this while I am trying to get it to work.
I have a Main Report based on my Element table and a subreport based on my OTC table. There is a one-to-many relationship between the Element and the OTC table.My Master / Child Fields between the two reports are as follows: ElementID;GroupNum
My SQL for the Main report is:
Code: SELECT Val(DCount("*","Element","ElementID=" & [ElementID] & " AND Step <" & [Step]))2 AS GroupNum, Element.ElementID, Element.ProcessID, Element.ModelID, Element.Step, Element.ElementDescription, Element.RevDate, Element.GPCFS, Element.TrainingGate FROM Element
[code]...
As an example in testing this report, I am looking at a specific Element with 33 records and a total of 72 OTC records. Each of the 33 records can have 1 or 2 or 3 or up to 4 OTC records but the report is only 17 pages which tells me that the page break is occuring based on the ElementID and not on the OTC records....
I have a report which is grouped by employee number - each group can have one or many records displayed - it works fine, but can look untidy sometimes when there are more records than will fit without wrapping onto another page; this is particularly prevalent when there are two or three groups - the third one may run over onto the next page, without group headers.
Is there anyway to force a page break at the bottom of a group if that group is not going to fit on the current page in its entirety?
I am writing a book, using MS Access 2007 (seemed like a good idea at the time I started, and the report that creates the formatted book content works quite well).
The book content is "per paragraph" which gives me total flexibility to move content to whatever spot in the book I might wish, simply by changing the paragraph number (free field, not auto-number primary).
To save paper (or pages) in printing (or viewing) the book, I have the report printing off para by para (as many whole paras as will fit to a page). This is fine but I want each new chapter to start at a forced new page, for "presentation"/appearance sake.
The relevant fields for the purposes of this post are:
paranumber paratext chapternumber forcepageifticked (a Yes/No box), which goes with each paragraph and which I thought might come in handy, I had in mind to link it to a page break control at the top of the "detail" part of the report in design view, and which would be "invisible" except if the report formatting process had got to the start of any chapter, and the Yes/no box was ticked.
I've created a report based on a query that shows me the jobs that have been added to tblJobs between two selected dates.
The report works fine and displays all the information I need, however other than being sorted by day of the week i.e. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday etc. The records just run on one after another.
I want to create a page break, so that a full week is shown on a single page before then forcing a new page when it moves in to the next week.
I've a question and I hope you can help me out....... I'm trying to use Conditional Formatting Options on a Text box called "Date". I'd like that this box become Red if its value is between value1 from Text box "Start Date" and value2 from Text box "End Date" or Green otherwise (in this way the color change dynamically every time I change the values of Text Boxes "Start Date " and "End Date"). How can I do that? What I need to type in the Conditional Formatting Windows?
On my Database I have used Conditional Formattion to change the colour of the qty to highlight when the qty is getting low however its not as good as I would hope as there are different type of definition of quantity (D of Q) e.g. Each (single items such as a screw) and Roll (such as cord and tape)
Conditional formatting doesnt work well because if I have it as less than 10 the qty is in red, its ok for the each items however not the roll as 10 rolls of tape is more than we would need.
I am just wondering if anyone knows what the code would be to change the colour depending on the qty and the D of Q
All i have got so far is: If me.qty <10 and DofQ = EA then
Does anyone know if there is a way in a report to display an entire row in a different color? I'm running a report based on a query and I need specific information to come up in RED. I read about conditional formatting but you can only apply it to a field in a report, but not to an entire row. Let's say I have a group of managers and I need to know the ones that are making more than $50,000 a year. I don't just want the salary to come in RED, I need the entire row (like name, last name, title, date of hire, salary, etc). Any ideas?
I have 2 subforms on a main form. I would like to compare the value in field 1 og subform 1 to field 1 of subform 2. I can't seem to get the conditional foramtting between the 2 subforms to work. Any ideas?
Good afternoon everyone I am new to this forum. I have not done access development for about 6 years so I appologise for my rustiness. I have created a form based on a query. The form is of type Datasheet. I have assigned Conditional formatting to the grid fields based on an expression evaluating a check box. This works fine and when I open the form the conditional formatting works great.
However, I am now trying to add this form as a subform in A.N Other form. The parent form has no datasource and is purely there to display some text values linked to unbound controls. I did this because apparently you cannot show form header for a datasheet view. When I insert my child form into the parent there is no logical link. The behaviour of the form and subform works fine but the conditional formatting does not appear in the subform grid. Why is this and how can I best sort this? Any help would be appreciated, but please be aware I am not fluent in VB as I have been away for quite some time.
Hello! I am stuck with a problem in my database. I got a table that is looking like this: On_Time 95% 96,88% 100% 100% 97,56%
There is more data there but this is the field i want to use. I got a form where i want a little box or something to be coloured in red if the average of all those percentages are below 95%. If its above 95% it should be green. Can anyone help?
Hi. I have a problem with my conditional formatting. I have two fields field 1 (hours worked) and field 2 (hours per task). Field 1 shows the hours worked based on the difference between a start and finish time and field 2 shows the hours per tasked based on values assigned to the 10 task fields. I set the formatting of field 1 to show up in red if it did not match the value of field 2, which works fine most of the time. However, for certain values i.e. 5 or 6 field 1 still shows up in red even though field 2 has the same value i.e. both equal 6.
Could someone explain to me why this happens and offer a solution if possible.
I have an Access form that is used for traffic counts. I have a total of 8 lanes of data entry rows (4 lanes each way).I have two text boxes that show the number of lanes in each direction for a specific location. I need the input forms to enable ONLY the number of rows displayed on the text box and disable the rest. I dont have a clue on how to do it. Tried conditional formatting. But the conditions overlap.
Hi, I would like to format a report containg a PASS/FAIL field (electrical test results) so that the "Fail's" are printed in bold text, however when I use conditonal formatting #Name? is diplayed on the report instead of either Pass or Fail. Any suggestions?
