Is there a way to have alternating colored records so it is easier to read in a report..Is there a way to have a line around each record to set it aside from other records so they don't blend together.
Here's (http://www.lebans.com/tabcolors.htm) a dynamite site with an A97 dowload with code for "colored tabs" which I stumbled onto. I converted the A97 code to A2K and it ran.
Many of you will be able to put this to good use.:)
This is one of those postings about a world-shaking discovery on my part that was boringly obvious to everone else. But here it is.
To make a colored button, create a button like rectangle or, if you want a label, a Label, and overlay it with a Button. Set the Button's Visible Property to No.
I have imported a data sheet into Access that had certain columns a different color...green...they were colored so that the end user would know which columns were to have input. (visually) Is there anyway that I can keep this format or color the columns in Access? Also the end result is from a Query...does that make a difference ?
I have a series of records that I would like organised into groups.For example everyone with the surname Jones who lives in Wales and is between 18-30 years old.I would like a Combobox that has that group sorting visible in some way, possibly with colours.for Example if i had the records:
First Name Surname Country Age
Dave Jones Wales 24 Bob Jones England 28 Fred Jones Wales 19 Jim Jones Wales 22 Ian Jones England 29 Frank Smith Scotland 32
I would like a Combo box that shows the names Dave , Fred and Jim with a background colour of Red then Bob and Ian with a background colour of white and Frank with a background colour of blue.how I group (maybe you can add spaces between the names Dave , Fred & Jim and bob & Ian).
I am creating a table in access and I would like to color code some of the fields if it is possible. There would be multiple green fields to represent it has usable data, Yellow to represent the data is in process and Red to represent bad data. I do not want to color code fields using queries, forms or reports I want to color code the fields in the tables only.
I have a report where I would like to count the records. I can do this in a typical way to count the records but I'm a little stuck on this scenerio.
In my report I pick a date range of 04/01/2013 to 04/30/2013 it displays all my records. I have 3 records for 04/01/2013 what I would like is for that to count 1, not 3. So on and so forth - so it will show me at the end of the report how many times a week they worked. Is there a way to do that?
The highlighting shows what records are duplicates. Those are the only records that need to change. Not every field of the record is a duplicate, and I don't want some of the fields that are duplicates to be combined.
If the result I want is not possible, or way too complicated for me is there a way to just have this: [URL] ....
Basically, I'm just getting rid of the sum within the merged record.
Note: I want this information to show up in a report. I put the information in the images into excel just to make it easier to show. Also, if you end up testing this yourself could you provide me with your Access document.
Greetings, I will try to explain briefly my problem.
My database is for our job card analysis. The problem being sometimes a job card invoiced for the previous month is only entered in the DB after reports have been generated/printed.
My thought was that if I could put a true/false check box in the record table to somehow mark it as true after printing month end reports. Hence late entries will reflect in the following months reports.
Is there a way of marking all the records as "reported" (True) after printing the report?
Maybe I am thinking along the wrong lines. Any suggestions?
I'm currently working on a report to show the differences between two records (in this case, Documents). Each Document contains a number of paragraphs which are separate objects within my database. The purpose of this is to narrow down which paragraphs require reading (i.e. remove/highlight which are duplicates).
I've set up the report to show only the paragraphs from two selected documents (I don't think there is need for more than two, but how to select two or more documents for the query), and currently I have set the 'Hide duplicates' which kind of works but not the result I was hoping for - it only hides the related field and leaves the original in tact.
I am looking for a method that hides both duplicate records (not just the duplicated fields) if possible, failing that a method that will conditionally format the remaining duplicate or all duplicates.
Looks like the Hide Duplicates hasn't quite worked either - I have two fields which are clearly different and it has hidden the longer one. Likewise another later paragraph is not duplicated and it has hidden another which isn't duplicated. If it makes any difference the field is of type 'Memo'
I am using Access 2007.I have a report that has 2 subreports within it.One of the sub reports input is from a table (Work Order Parts) whose records have a field called "DisplayOrder". This is a numeric field that I use to enable the user to specify the exact order that they want the records to be displayed in a form or report...well that's the plan anyway.
I can't seem to get the subreport to sort on the "DisplayOrder" field.
I have tried to set the Property value "Display Order" to "[Workorder Parts].DisplayOrder" but this doesn't seem to make a difference. The "Order By on Load" is set to "Yes".
Here is the "Record Source" value : SELECT DISTINCTROW [Workorder Parts].*, Parts.PartName, [Workorder Parts].Notes FROM Parts INNER JOIN [Workorder Parts] ON Parts.PartID = [Workorder Parts].PartID;
I have a subform to select which Managers will get a Corrective Action Report based on a single Non-Conformance ID. The queried information looks like:
I have a button on a report that I want to use to confirm if the contents of a field were prepared or not. Below is the button vba:
Private Sub Command60_Click() 'retrieve the records Static Count As Integer Count = Count + 1 ' Select Case Count
[Code] ....
The problem with this is that it changes the text and background for every button in the report. I want the button to change its text etc for individual records in the report. and not all at one time. In other words I want each record to have a button, and each button associated with each record.
Need a sequential number on report. Have an unbound text box and set it to list a running sum over group. The twist is that I'd like to have it start with an assigned starting number [Starting Number] and then add 1 to each subsequent record. It works for the first record but then the next record is last value + [Starting Number]. Basically it is a check run where I would list the starting number and the report would do the rest.
In Access 2010 I am previewing a customer report. I also try to give users the choice of seeing history sub records for any given customer. I have a selection dropdown box where they can chose ALL, 5, 10 or 15 in a report. To this end I set the record source in the "Open" event for the subreport. if I want all records it works fine, but as soon as I put in "SELECT TOP 5" the subreport goes invisible. I have tested the query directly and it works fine. I'm sure this worked in Access 2007
I have a bunch of records that are assigned to categories which are problem tickets. I would like to print the report showing not just the categories that have records open in them now, but also ones that don't have any records in them. So say I have these three categories. Power, Circuit, Hardware failure..If I have a few open tickets in circuit and hardware failures and none in power. Power will show show up on the report but with no records listed underneath it.
This probably is a very stupid question but I am a new user and have been pulling my hair out for a week over this. I have created a report and linked it to my table but it generates a list of all of the values in my table on the report. What I want is a way to generate a report page for every row in my database table grouped on a key record that is unique to each data row. If anyone has any advice it will be much appreciated, thanks.
I have a report having data from query i have taken only 4 fields from query in detail section of report in design view.
What i want is that the report to print for single record single page means currently it is printing one more record on one page which i don't want and i want the report to show or print like all four fields for one record on one page how to do this...
I am creating a report that is organized by project. The detail lines are to list payments applied to the project. How can I skip the detail section (or print a single blank line) if there are no payments in the separate payment table that match the project ID? Is there a way to tell that there were no matching payments and format accordingly? I currently get multiple blank lines.
