Modules & VBA :: Conditional Formatting - Backcolor Determined By Color Value Stored In A Cell
Jul 21, 2015I 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.
Format Cell Color
Oct 19, 2004This is a very stupid question, I'm sure...
I want to get Access to find a cells that have a certain value and make them a particular colour so that they can easily be seen by database users. I could also make the font a different colour. I've tried getting the builder to do this in the query I run (for the column the fields appear in) but nothing seems to work. How and where do I enter formatting for colour / font colour based on data that is already in the cell... and what do I need to type?
Also would it be faster to get Access to do this before I run a query - so that the formatting is appllied to the whole table or would it be faster to do it during the query process?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Queries :: Change Background Color Of A Query Cell If Certain Criteria Met?
Aug 14, 2015Is it possible to run a query and have the background color of the query field be highlighted if a certain criteria is met?
I'd like to use the expresion builder if possible.
For example if the values in field A and field B do not match, then field C should be a yellow background.
If this is possible, how is it done?

Datasheet Form How To Change Single Row Color
Jan 14, 2007Hi
I am running Access 97 and I was wondering if it was possible to change the colour(background or text) of a single record based on an attribute
I was hoping that my subform viewing all of the records (datasheet) would look like this based on Task Des column
eg Condition = red, Awaiting = Blue
(Below is ment to look like an access datasheet view)
Property No | Task Des | MCU/ROL
PN1234/DA1 | Condtion | MCU
PN1235/DA2 | Condtion | ROL
PN1994/DA1 | Awaiting | MCU
I have read you can do this quiet easy in access 2007 but was wondering if possible in 97
Thanks heaps for your help
Thanks

Modules & VBA :: Retrieve Field Properties DAO Recordset
Jan 25, 2014Is it possible to retrieve the format of a field when looping through recordset.
e.g you can get the field type by using
Quote:
rs.Fields(y).Type
But the type for decimal or percentage is the same. It is the format that is different
I need to be able to see what is formatted as a percentage and what is formatted as fixed.
Modules & VBA :: Retrieve Outlook Data From Access
Feb 6, 2015It's been some time since I wrote the following, which takes a string made up of "Lastname Firstname Telephone" and writes it at a specific time in Outlook. It uses Late binding so it works across all Oulook versions.
Code:
Public Function funOutputAppointmentToOutlook(dtmDate As Date, strSubject As String)
Dim olApp As Object
Dim mNameSpace As Object
Const olFolderCalendar = 9
Const olAppointmentItem = 1
[Code] ....
I would like to first check the specific Outlook time slot whether the string exists already and only if it does not exist to write it.
Modules & VBA :: Display Cell (B1) Value In Sheet1 Of All Workbooks In Message Box
Feb 24, 2014I have a form and there is a command button on it. I want the code that will run when that commandbutton is pressed and it should check the first sheet "Sheet1" in all the workbooks in the folder C:FolderTemp.
And if the first sheet name is not "sheet1" then just ignore that workbook and move to next workbooks. If the first sheet name is "Sheet1" in a workbook then display the value present in cell B1 in a message box.
So if there are 5 workbooks in the folder C:FolderTemp and two of them hasn't got first sheet named "Sheet1" then display value of B1 in rest of the 3 sheets in a message box one by one.
Modules & VBA :: Autofill Cell Based On Previous Record Value
Aug 26, 2014I am trying to write some vba code to auto fill a cell's value based on the value of the cell in the previous record (In a datasheet form) i.e. if the value in record one was '1' and the down-arrow key was pressed then the value '2' should be entered into the new ext record
I have written some pseudo-code to show what I am trying to accomplish:
if keydown = down-arrow and current cell contents isnumeric then
Cval = current cell contents
if current record = last record then
create new record
move down 1 record
set cell value of new record to cval+1
else
move down 1 record
if cell value = null then set cell value of record to cval+1
end if
end if
Modules & VBA :: Concatenate Data In One Cell In A Report / Query
Mar 27, 2014Watch the below tables.
I have a large ACCESS list as per the left one and I would like to make it as per right.
The problem is that I want to concatenate the "invoices" in one record separated with a coma , .
This is the only way I can compact the long list into a short one and make it comprehensible.
The invoices , in one cell, very rarely are more than 4 or 5 items.
So room for 6 is just perfect.
Modules & VBA :: Retrieve Count Of Emails In Outlook Subfolders
Jun 28, 2014I need to retrieve the count of emails in a shared exchange mailbox in Outlook 2010.

Is there anyway to drill down just one more level?

Set objOutlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set objNamespace = objOutlook.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set objInbox = objNamespace.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox)

Modules & VBA :: Passing Excel Cell Date To Access Query
May 1, 2014I'm having a rough time trying to figure out how to pass a date to an SQL statement that Excel VBA macro will run. The date is in a cell (A1) formatted as 'm/d/yyyy'. Let's say it's 2/1/2014. I want to run an SQL statement that retrieves data from a table where a field is greater than 'A1'. The table field is a date/time field and has values formatted as 'mm/dd/yyyy'.
I've tried various syntax on the Where but cannot get it to work.
sd = Range("A1")
SELECT [tn].[Date Submitted]
FROM[tn]
WHERE tn.[Date Submitted] > """ & sd & """
This results in the following where clause that does not work.
WHERE tn.[Date Submitted] > "2/1/2014"
Modules & VBA :: Excel File Export Auto Cell Width?
Jun 26, 2014I have the following code to export a query into a excel file:
Code:
Dim outputFileName As String
outputFileName = "C:AccountSpreadsheet est.xls"
DoCmd.TransferSpreadsheet acExport, acSpreadsheetTypeExcel9, "Q_Search_Invoices", outputFileName, True
Dim xlApp As Object
Set xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
xlApp.Visible = True
xlApp.Workbooks.Open "C:AccountSpreadsheet est.xls", True, False
Set xlApp = Nothing
This works almost exactly how I want it to work.
The only thing wrong is that the columns are all the same width and they are all to narrow.
Is there a way to make the columns automatically become the width of the longest text within them (exactly what happens when you double click on the side of a squashed column in excel)?
Modules & VBA :: Editing Sleep API To Lookup Cell For Length Of Pause
Nov 8, 2013I am creating an Electronic Medical Records database (well, a fake one, for medical simulation purposes). The way it works, you select a patient from a drop-down on the "Selection" form, and click a command button to bring you to a "Patient information" report. From that report you can view EKG's , Lab results or Imaging reports.This database is to be used for medical simulation for medical students. So for i have command buttons for each report, and a check box to "order tests".
When a test is ordered , i have the command buttons linked to go to a different report that appears the same except it has a subreport with the "new" test results in it. If this were an actual hospital , results would not be instantaneous, so i have the sleep api in for the "on load" for the reports with the "new" results.
I would like it so I could enter how long of a delay i want for the loading of a particular report in the dataentry form i have. But I am not the best at VBA, and I cannot seem to figure out how to get the sleep api to get the value for the number of seconds i want to wait from my table.
Modules & VBA :: SQL String Does Not Retrieve Primary Key Newly Added Record
Jul 2, 2014I have an Access 2010-form which inserts a record in a MS SQL 2008-database by using an ADODB-connection. I need to retrieve the primary key of the newly added record.
With code at the bottom I create a SQL-string which is stored in variable strSQL. If I execute the SQL-string directly in a MS SQL 2008 Query Window, the record is inserted and the MS SQL 2008-result pane shows a column "ID" with the primary key of the newly added record.
If I execute same SQL-string in MS Access 2010 the record is inserted. However, the code fails on Debug.Print rs![ID] with error "Item cannot be found in the collection corresponding to the requested name or ordinal". Same error appears if I use Debug.Print rs.Fields(0). I've enable the reference "Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.8 Library". It looks as the recordset rs is closed as soon the command "Set rs = cn.Execute(strSQL)" finished.
Why I can't retrieve the Primary Key with VBA-code below?
Code:
Private Sub cmdSave_Click()
dim cn As ADODB.Connection
dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
set cn=New ADODB.Connection
[Code] .....
Modules & VBA :: Trimming White-space After Pulling Data From Excel Cell?
Apr 15, 2014I've got a piece of VBA scripting which runs as an event linked to a button on my MS Access form.
I maintain a database of members of staff at my organisation. It's pretty outdated...
I'm basically wanting to pull in their updated data (extracted from on our payroll system) from a spreadsheet, into a form, when clicking a button on a particular person's record.
This is what I have so far.
Code:
start = Forms!frm_main2!txt_start_row.Value - 1
conv = DDEInitiate("EXCEL", "Staff List.xlsx")
cell_employee_number = "R" & start & "C1"
cell_surname = "R" & start & "C2"
[Code] ....
The function "CStr(DDERequest())" converts the cell number into the readable data, however I seem to have whitespace below the value.
What would I need to do to strip out this whitespace? Would I use strtrim? If so, I am unsure of the syntax... how would I incorporate strtrim into the above?
Modules & VBA :: Open Excel Workbook From Access - Clear Cell Contents
Dec 5, 2013I would like to open an Excel workbook from MS Access and clear cell contents, or just delete some records in a specific worksheet.
If you open the test workbook, cell contents in RAW need to be deleted by calling from Access.
I have produced some code but it's partially working.
Code:
Sub TestFileOpened()
' Test to see if the file is open.
If IsFileOpen("test.xls") Then
' Display a message stating the file in use.
MsgBox "File already in use!"
[Code] ....
If you put this in a standard module in access, the function works, but the part that doesn't work is where it says "activesheet". It somehow tries to recognize it as a variable, but it's not going to be a variable.
