Modules & VBA :: Combo Box Does Not Want To Change Background Color
Mar 1, 2015
I have some code to check a combo box if a date field is filled in, then the combo box can't be empty.I can make the error message appear, but the combo box does not want to change color and it does not recognize any other than value..This is the code that I have, and it does not work like I wish it could.(I took the database over from some one else and need to make improvements on it. the field names where not created by me).
Code:
Private Sub cmbCurrentStatus_AfterUpdate() '<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Working on >>>>>>>>>>>>>
If IsNull(Me.[STEP 1 4 check current status]) And Not IsNull(Me.[Checked__date_]) Then
MsgBox "Checked (date) can't be empty if Current Status is filled in!", , "Incomplete Form!"
Me.[STEP 1 4 check current status].Value = RGB(255, 0, 0)
Else
Me.[STEP 1 4 check current status].BackColor = RGB(255, 255, 255)
End If
End Sub

In my table (tbl_data) I have a field named Rating. This can be anything from 1 - 10.
On my form (frm_input) I have a textbox (created using the wizard so at the moment I'll call it txt_Rating).
What I would like to know how to do is:
If the value in the textbox is 0-5 leave the background colour of the textbox white with black font. If the value in the textbox is 6-7 turn the background colour pale yellow with black font. If the value in the textbox is greater than 7.1 turn the background colour Red with white font.
I have a listbox and whenever I clicked on a row it will highlight black background and white font color. How can I disable this or change the formatting?
I would like to change the Font and background color based on dates.
-I have a text box (Training Event) on a form populated from a field (Training Dates) in a query.

I am using a continuous form and would like my users to be able to change a field background color to a light red by double-clicking. The user would also be able to change it back to white by double-clicking again.
The code I am using (below) changes the field background color for all records. I need my code to only change the field color of the current record and cannot seem to find how to do that. The field name is [System_CurrentStatus].
Private Sub System_CurrentStatus_DblClick(Cancel As Integer) If Me.System_CurrentStatus.Backcolor = vbWhite Then Me.System_CurrentStatus.Backcolor = RGB(234, 154, 160) ElseIf Me.System_CurrentStatus.Backcolor = RGB(234, 154, 160) Then Me.System_CurrentStatus.Backcolor = vbwhite End If End Sub
I would like to change the background color of a field that is the result of a Unique Values query. I am trying to get a list of invoices where all the line items are approved. I can't seem to get it to work the way I want because if even one invoice line item is approved it will show up as approved.
Is there a way to change the background color of the invoice field to red if ANY of the Approved line items are = False
in a continuous form i want to click on one record and have the one field change the background colour to highlight it. When I use the code: Field. BackColor = vbYellow it changes the background on all the records. Is there a code to say only for the record with focus?
I have a report card program that I use in my classroom. The program calculates letter grades for various sub categories.
For example, under the Primary Category Math, the computer will calculate a letter grade based on assignment scores and place the grade into a combo box for the sub category "Able to use a graphing calculator."
If I override the grade the program calculated for a student, I would like the text in the combo box to change to red for that student only. Then I can go back and quickly see which grades I have manually changed.
I just cannot seem to figure out the logic to use VBA that would check to see if a user has changed individual combo boxes.
What I want is in the combo box, I have a couple of options, say 1,2 and 3. And I want the combo box to come up with different color when different option is selected.
I thought I have found out a way, with the following code to onClick:
If me.field.text = "1" Then me.field.backcolor = 255
The problem is, it's being shown on a continuous form. And it changes the color on all the records. not just the one I am on.
I have two forms sourced from one table. if the address of a client has changed then there is a Command button that opens a form to enter the previous address.
What I want is for the text on the command button to change to red if there is a previous address filled in. I have seen it done but cannot copy the code. What I have is on the OnCurrent event of the (main form)
Dim InColor As Integer InColor=255
Me.[Command126].Forecolor=(And what I want to say here is "If the field previousaddress is not null then ...)*255
Any ideas??? (I wanted to have the database completed before the New Year (less than 12 hours to go!!!)
i have an application and the user was asking me to give him the ability to change the backcolor of the main form i had done that with one color option.
but now he wants to mix two colors together any one can help me with that , if code or sample would be posted, that would be appreciated .
I'm using Access 2010. I'm passing a string into the OpenArgs of my report - works fine. In the report there are 3 rich text fields which may contain the text I passed in, and if so I want to change the color of that text to red so it stands out.
The value passed to the report changes so I'll need to use VBA in the detail's format section to check each of the 3 rich text fields.
How do I change the background color of a tab or can you? The form that I am looking at has a tab button, but it looks like a normal form for the background. It has the grid and has a color for the background. I have designed a new form and added a tab control. But the background is grey and I would like to change it. Please help, if you can. Thanks.
I want to change the background color to a plain white color. So I used the coloring bucket to fill it in. The problem is that it does not have any effect. In the picture you can see that the greyish color with the white dots remain.
This is some kind of standard template. Is there anyway I can remove it so I can fill in plain colors?
When I set the background color of a "rectangular box" to Normal (not transparaent), there are some fields that do not display - they are hidden behind the box. If I move the box, delete the hidden fields and add them back in, they appear fine. Is there a way to set the box color to allow all fields appear in front without having to delete and re-add all fields?
I have design a form using the tab control. I need to add in color to make it more professional. Is there a way I can do it. I realised the filled /Back color icon is faded in color in design view.
