How do I change the background colors and text formatting in all of the reports in one database at the same time? If this is not possible, is there an easier way to change the report formatting without going through every report?
View RepliesHi,
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.
Appreciate any help in this. Thanks.
I am rebuilding a file that deals with a lot of active and inactive accounts. I would like to change the inactive record to a yellow or red when a check box is marked. It has been about 15 years since I have written any macros or VB functions.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to create a report that has certain rows filled with a background color. In excel, the fill color is complete across the row. That is, there are no gaps between cells. In Access, each individual "cell" or field is filled with the color but inbetween each cell/field there is white space. I tried changing the control padding to "narrow" but there is still too much white space. Changing control padding to "none" changes the alignment of the cells to look off. They aren't exactly lined up in a row anymore. It looks terrible.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a report. In this report I have a start date and an end date. I also have a date that is going to be checked. The report checks to see if the date the user entered on a different form is between the start and end date of an individual. if it is, a txt box at the end of the line will turn red. If it isn't the box will stay default of green.
What I would like to do is not even show the lines that have a green box. I want to just show the lines that have boxes as red.
I looked into If statements but I'm not quite sure what event I should put them on, nor am I certain I have the syntax right.
I had it:
If (lblAvailability.BackColor = "#CCB13D" Then
txt1.Visible = False
and so on... making all the txt fields invisible. I would rather have them not even show up because I'm pretty sure invisible things still take up room.
End If
I need to change the background colour of a text box after a change to the field has been made?
ie.
Make: IBM (Background Color Grey - Default)
User makes a change to Make ..
Make: Toshiba - (Background Color changes to Yellow )
I'm trying to code this with the OnChange option on the TextBox but can't see to find the right code.
I was using Application.SetOption"Background", colour value with no success
In Access 2007 (or 2010 , 2013), in a continuous form, I want to change the background colour of a text box depending on its value. Obviously, for each record, the color can be different.
View 1 Replies View RelatedThis is very close to the label question that I also have posted. I am trying to get my report to have the back ground of some text boxes turn yellow if they are populated. I can get them to turn yellow, but they turn yellow whether they are populated or not. I have the code in the Report Open event. Here is some of the code that I have.
If Not IsNull(MMSJob) Then
MMSJob.BackColor = 65535
Else
MMSJob.BackColor = vbWhite
End If
Can anyone help me?

I have about 25 text boxes on my form that use the dcount or count functions to obtain a number. (Text boxes are labeled 'Text1' through 'Text25')
When the value of the textbox is 0, I would like to have the color of the text box turn red.
Is there a way I can do this using a for loop? Or a with statement?
Checking each one individually just seems like poor programming.
Any thoughts? Ideas?
Thank you.
I have three labels that I can't change the text color. I must have them locked or something. What should I check?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a calculated field in a report, which is as follows:
=IIf(IsNull([POI_E1A]),(([TodaysDate]-[EADDate])/365)/3,[A1]+[T2]+[A3]+[T4]+[A5]+[T6]+[A7]+[A8])
The calculation works fine; however, I only want to show the whole number (not rounded up; not rounded down). In other words, if the result is 0.9967, then I want 0 to appear.
I cannot figure out how to make this happen. In the properties section I ensured the format was "general number" with 0 decimal places but this didn't change the result. I tried changing the format in the calculated field, again, I wasn't successful.
How to get this expression to work? It works by changing the numbers to correct date format, however, if the field is null, I want a blank to appear instead of "type"
=IIf([DATE_APPLIED_X] Is Null,"""",CDate(Mid([DATE_APPLIED_X],5,2) & "/" & Right([DATE_APPLIED_X],2) & "/" & Left([DATE_APPLIED_X],4)))

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?
I have a Data Access Page that I need some help with some of the code.
I need to do a comparison to see if the TimeStamp Control is less than one hour old. If it is, it should have the background turn red. If not it should stay white.
Form = BLine_Messaging
Control = TimeStamp
Code:<SCRIPT language=vbscript event=onload or=window><!--If (BLine_Messaging.TimeStamp.value > DateAdd("H", -1, Date)) THEN BLine_Messaging.style.backgroundColor="white"else BLine_Messaging.style.backgroundColor="red"end if --></SCRIPT>

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a report which I would like to change the text of a field blue if a certain condition is met. What I want to happen on this report is if a specific field has an "Active" - then it will be in Blue text, otherwise it is in black text.
I have gone into the report ->in the Details section -> put a procedure in the On Format event. The code I have been trying is:
-----
If Analysis_Status = Active Then
Me.Analysis_Status.ForeColor = vbBlue
Else
Me.Analysis_Status.ForeColor = vbBlack
End If
End Sub

:confused: <b>Hi all, can Access highlight the selected rows in table just like the spreadsheet in Excel??
Many thanks,
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?
Thanks,

In an effort to refine the looks of my database, I was wondering if anyone could tell me a way of setting the Background Color of a control to Translucent, i.e. Textbox, Label, or Rectangle.
I want it to be partially transparent so I could then overlay it on top of an imported picture. I would then place the description of the photo on top of this translucent overlay.
Another possible solution may be to use an image as the background if someone knows how to make an imported image translucent.
So far as I can see, my only options in Access are tranparent or opaque. Any way to do something programmatically
Any thoughts would be great,
Thanks,
Scott
I don't want to get fancy with changing the colour of tab controls (a la S. Lebans), I'd just like to be able to duplicate the default gray color. Does anyone know the numeric expression to enter in the tab control's Background Color box?
Many thanks.
Does anyone know/how my forms' background colors are different from one computer to another? The computers that are showing the correct color are both XP and Access 2002 (one is a laptop and one is a desktop)... but then someone else.. on a laptop (with XP and access 2002).. the forms' background colors are not good (purple)... vs. blue on my laptop and the desktop. Thanks!
