Reports :: Alternate Back Color Not Printing Correctly
Sep 25, 2013
This is re-statement for clarity of earlier thread deleted.
In Access 2010 I have a Report with a Detail Section that shows a record and a Sub-report that shows the many records of a one-to-many relationship.
The Report Detail Section Property Sheet specifies a Back Color and a different Alternate Back Color.
Report View alternates the Detail Section background colors correctly.
Print View and Printing DO NOT correctly alternate the background colors. Back color and Alternate Back Color appear in irregular sequences.
how to fix it?

Using Access 10 I am unable to turn off the alternate row color function for my report. The icon is on the toolbar, but is grayed out so I am unable to select it.

I have a lovely report that includes a small color photograph. I'm sending the report to print on my HP Color LaserJet, but it is printing in black and white.
I can't find anything in the Properties that specifies whether this prints in color or black & white.
How to print this in color?

Is there a way to permanently set the alternate row color in access, so that whenever you create a form it will always be what I want.I know that I can make a template and always use the template, but I would prefer to just change the access settings if that is an option.I checked the access settings but couldn't see an option to do this.Also if you can set sub-form's to always have a transparent border, so that you don't have to change it every time you add a sub-form to a form.

I'm a bit new to Access but have managed to build a very simple database.
I have a main table which I need to add 4 columns onto the end of, the data for which comes from 4 tables linked to it. Below is how they are linked.
Main table------> Table 1
Main table------> Table 2
Main table------> Table 3
Main table------> Table 4
All 4 relationships have a join type of 2 (Include ALL records from 'Main table' and only those records from 'Table1/2/3/4' where the joined fields are equal)
However, 3 of them pull back the correct data when I refresh the Main table, but the 4th one doesn't - which appears to be to be set up in the exact same way. It does bring back data, but it's the wrong data or in the wrong order.
For example, if the related field in the Main table is "Sarah" - It needs to bring back "Programme", but some Sarah's pull through Programme, some are blank and some are another option altogether. Table 4 has no duplicates or typos etc and I've tried deleting it, loading it in again and creating a new relationship but nothing seems to work.

Quick question here I hope.
I've got a little box covering up a drop down arrow on a combo control that resides on a tab control. The problem is that, since the Back Color property isn't available for a tab control, I have no idea what color it is...which is what the color of my box object (rectangle technically) needs to be so as to blend in. It looks a little garrish with it standing out there...
Any ideas what the default color of the tab page background is? Using Access 2003.
Thanks

Hi all,
Using Access 2003, WinXP SP2.
I have a form with the standard light grey background. I insert a tab control, and the default back color is white. I set the BackStyle to Transparent, and it still displays as white.
Am I missing something here, I want the back color of the tab control to be the same as my form.
Now, what's really odd, is in this project it creates tab controls as white, but if I open an old project of mine, it creates tab controls with the same light grey back ground of the form.
Any help?
TIA
Hammy

I have a CONTINUOUS form that shows all my records. I want it to change the back color of a field when it is a certain value. so far i get it to change back color when the very first record in the list is a certain value, but then it will change the back color for every value and not just one value.
can i fix this?

I am working on a report and I am having issues changing the coloring of the rows in the report. If possible, I would like the first column to be completely white with no alternating color because there is only data in one cell at the top of each grouping. So the column with "Aggregates", "Attachments", etc would have no alternating color rows below them.
In addition to this, I am having difficulty changing the alternating row color for the other columns. I'd like to use colors with more contrast. I have tried changing the color in both design and layout view, but the options for formatting row color is also greyed out, and not available for me to use. In other words, the alternate row color button on the home tab is unclickable, for lack of a better word.

Is it possible to use combo boxes in reports? I have a report built but was wanting to use a look up box to retrieve alternate data while looking at the report.

Is there a way to change the back color of an active field in a form? Meaning, when I tab through my form and the field I tab to becomes active, the field turns white. This poses a problem because my form back color is black and my field text is white. When the field is active, I can't see the value in the field due to the back color defaulting to white. Does this make sense? Is there a way to change it?

I was having trouble just setting each report with a particular print method - for some reason they just kept forgetting their individual settings and resorting to default on the machine.
This meant reports were printing on the wrong paper, or the wrong size paper, the wrong orientation and some times refusing to print if it couldn't find the paper (which is useful in runtime as it doesn't display error messages)
So I used Reports(rpt).printer properties (I forgot where I found this) to hard code the printer properties into each print command... this meant I had to use another function to insert the variables.
So all I had to do was say:
Code:
PrintMe("Invoice","InvoiceID",iID)
and a report would print to exactly how I wanted... but it's just too slow!
See attached for full code, I have a niggling feeling it may be the function: PrinterOK, to make sure the printer exists or not.
Code:
Function PrinterOK(sPrinterName As String) As Boolean
Dim MyPrinter As Printer
PrinterOK = False
For Each MyPrinter In Printers
If MyPrinter.DeviceName = sPrinterName Then
PrinterOK = True
Exit Function
End If
Next
End Function
I know it's the printing code, because if I stop the printing and just preview then it shows up almost instantly.

I have images in my form, say, Image1 and Image2 . The default background color for all of them are white. If the user click image1, the background color has to be red. If the user click image2, the background has to change to red and the image1 retains its default color ( White ).
I have six images to loop through these. Image1 to image6.

Code:
'Pacer frame set to proper background
If Me.FrmPacer.Value = 1 Then
Me.LblPacer.BackColor = vbGreen
ElseIf Me.FrmPacer.Value = 2 Then
Me.LblPacer.BackColor = vbYellow
ElseIf Me.FrmPacer.Value = 3 Then
Me.LblPacer.BackColor = vbRed
[code]...
I have multiple frames on one subform that when selected sets a unassociated labels back color. Then when cancelled by undo code the back color stays on the color that it was changed to on afterupdate event from the frame with option controls. I would like to loop thru but could not come up with the proper method if it is even possible.the above code works after refreshed, but just wondering if there is a shorter or more efficient method.

I have an access form that has a dropdown box list of 10 choices.
For example:
The form states please choose 1, 2, 3 or 4 then the choice should print in BLUE.
They choose 5, 6, 7 or 8 Then it need to print in RED.
So forth and so on.
I am sure there is a code I need to type in the conditional formatting area that would reflect if [1], [2], [3], [4] then I choose the red color.
I do not know how to use VBL or coding.

I have a form in datasheet with the fields "Date In" and "Date out" among other.
I want to be able to Change the backcolour of the "Date In" to red, yellow, or green depending on the length of time elapsed between current date and date in. This works fine on the conditional formatting, but now I only want to apply this formatting IF the "Date Out" is empty.
Access 2007.

I'm using Access 2010
What I want to be able to do is to assign a back colour to a control from VBA. There are many colours and what I thought would be an easy process was to choose a suitable colour to be assigned using the colour picker for a control, note the hex number then in my vba code would be
if... then me.mycontrol.backcolor=&HF0AD34
This compiles OK, but produces a completely different colour - I'm expecting an orange colour but getting blue and in another example a pale blue is coming out a brown.
Research indicates adding an ampersand to the end changes the value from integer to long but if I type
if... then me.mycontrol.backcolor=&HF0AD34&
The second ampersand disappears. In the immediate window
?&HF0AD34
?&HF0AD34&
?Val("&HF0AD34")
?clng("&HF0AD34")
?Val("&HF0AD34&")
?clng("&HF0AD34&")
All produce the same value of 15772980, which if I copy back to the control backcolour property produces the blue colour and not the required orange - which if i debug.print me.mycontrol.backcolor give me 3452400 - the correct number for orange.
The problem seems to be converting the hex number to a long.
Also how to modify the properties window to show the decimal value rather than the hex value, but can't see anywhere to do this.

How do I conditionally change the Back Color and Alternate Back Color based on the value of notes.FollowUpDate? I have a continuous form using the following code:
Code:
Private Sub b_all_past_Click()
Me.resultsFrame.SourceObject = "FollowUp_bystaff"
Me.resultsFrame.Form.RecordSource = "SELECT * From notes WHERE (((Notes.FollowUpDate) < Date()+1) And ((Notes.followup_person_id) = GetCurrentUserId()))ORDER BY notes.priority,(notes.FollowUpDate) DESC;" '
End Sub

My report generates base on 2 date inputs(from textboxes) namely, ProcStartDate & ProcEndDate & a combobox(cmbRptSupplier) to select the supplier:
Code:
Private Sub btnReport_Click()
Dim strDocName, strWHERECondition As String
strWHERECondition = ""
If Me.cmbRptSupplier = "" Or IsNull(Me.cmbRptSupplier) = True Then
[Code].....
When I leave my cmbRptSupplier blank (so that I can leave supplier out of my criteria), & fill in 1/2/2013 for ProcStartDate, 14/3/2013 for ProcEndDate, I get ALL the invoices displayed in return for my report. Even with those before 1/2/2013.
