I was creating a access web app for my company and want to create a data for its product. Each product will have multiple colors and different material are used for each color. The number of colorways for a product varies.
We want to be able to select a product and a lookup field will appears for us to choose its colorway.
Question 1:
I am attempting to make a macro to pull information based on a clicked button to provide information to another form. While my example below will be rudimentary, I am attempting to create so that it can be applied to 450 buttons, hence the need for it to be a macro and not simply code per button.
For example if I have 3 buttons, captioned: red, green and blue. If I click on the blue button, it will open another form with a text-box that will say 'blue'. Likewise, if I click the red button the text-box will be changed to 'red'.
In the code below the section that I need to change is: Command1.Caption. Using this data I can pull from the one button to create the value, but I need it to be based on an OnClick or something in order to pull the value from the right button.
Example:
Function Macro1()
On Error GoTo Macro1_Err
DoCmd.OpenForm "Form2", acNormal, "", "", , acNormal
Forms!Form2!Text0.Text = Forms!Form1!Label0.Caption
DoCmd.GoToControl "[Text2]"
Forms!Form2!Text2.Text = Forms!Form1!Command1.Caption
[code]...
Question 2:
I am trying to use a query to change button colour on the basis of values stored in a table.What I want to do is change the button background after comparing the button name to the same variable in a table, and determining another variable.
IE:
Button1, Button2. In table: Button1, Val = Y, and Button 2, Val = Z
Pseudo Code:
Array: From Button1 to Button2
Query for Button1 against table
If Val = Y, Button1.background = red
Else if Val = Z, Button1.background = blue
Else Button1.background = black
End if
I've got an order detail form which has
product id, product description, customer, quantity and below the form a Total quantity
When I enter the same product id, and when i press the button to update, the table of stock quantity deducts from total quantity
If I use different product ids, it doesn't work, but updates only the current product id, where the mouse current record is set by mouse.
By the way i use dlookup to check if the stockquantity has enough items.
Hi!
I need to create a database of the info of a few hundred companies. Each company (food producers) specializes in various product categories, not just one. This is my problem/question: each company entry should then have a possibility to have as many product categories as needed. How can I do this without using "free text" fields? The website user should obviously also be able to search the db - by clicking checkboxes with the categories maybe?
(+Also: When the admin user needs to add the info of a new company (with, say, 9 product types) into the database, what kind of an SQL clause I need to INSERT INTO the db? For example if the product categories where laid out as checkboxes, and the user would just click the ones he wants.)
I am looking for a way to have different prices saved for each individual client.
I would have one main price list but i want to set certain items to have special prices for different clients. How is this possible in Access in excel its so simple.
I have a transactions table which records a qty number (- or +) and references particular location details (location, room, rack, shelf etc). My question is how do I sum the qty for the same product at different locations. So my user sees that product A has a qty of X in location C and qty Y in location D. I can sum the transactions table qty which does give me a sum based on a single location but each location has multiple racks, shelves etc. I need to know the sum of transactions for the same product for exactly the same location, room rack etc
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhat I have is a table that contains plant info (plants that produce a product not vegetation plants). I also have a table that contains all the fields related to the products themselves. Finally I have a third table that contains the constituent items that make up products (think raw ingredients if you will). I have various junction tables set up to define relationships between all these.
What I'm trying to do is create a way of inputting a product and having an option on the form to send that product information to multiple plants. I don't know why but I cannot visualize an approach to doing this.
I have the following form and subform combination:
The subform is linked to the main form by way of the "ProductID" control. (It's hidden in the subform).
Basically, each product (the finished article) is made up of many components.
What I would like to do is this:
1. Increase the stock of a "Product".
2. The Stock level control on the main form will then increment as much as selected
3. Contrary to that, I would like each component to decrement the relevant amount based on how much of the component is used up to make the product.
E.g. If I have Product A and it contains 2 components of which component A is used once per product but component B is used twice, then when I increase stock of product by 1, then component A goes down by 1 and component B goes down by 2. But If I put two of a product in to stock, I would obviously need component A to go down by 2 but component B to go down by 4.
I am thinking I need some way to loop through each record in the sub form for the current form, such as "Do While Not", or a "For Each". And then stick an Update query within the loop, but to be honest I can't think of how I need to address it!
When I opened my database today, all the tables had turned blue??
Does that signafies anything? How can I reset the table in plain white??
Any help is appreciated!

Anyone know how to convert a color code from something like:
#E1E1E2
To something that Access will recognize?
Thanks,

I have a subform that returns a bunch of records. Each of the records returned has a LANE_ID, so in this example, there are 10 records returned, 5 with LANE_ID = 11111and 5 with LANE_ID = 22222. Is it possible to alternate the backgrond color for each of these groupings?
I have found examples of how to change the color of alternate rows, but I can't find anything that would tell me if what I want to do is possible.
How I can do a form whit a list box whit different colors for each record ?
Thank you
Hi, All...
Can someone tell me how to change the color (back and fore) within a combo box? I have set both in the properties window and it works fine but, as you scroll through the list within the box, the colors of the active line (back and fore) change to something completely different.
Any assist would be greatly appreciated!
Thanx ;<)

Hello everyone,
Does anyone know how to translate the background colors used in Access to RGB?
Thank you.
I built a really good database and now I want to dress it up a bit. Does anyone know how to change the color of a command button ? (access 2003)
Thanks:rolleyes:
reading code behind form and came across:
&HFHEFEF, and &HFFEFFE and the like relating to certain colors: where is this magical "chart/table" of equivalents? Need soon..thanks..teball20 (teddy)
Hi
Is there a way to have alternating colors in a form?
I would like every record to alternate between Grey and White.
Thanks!
I am trying to see if it is possible to store colors in a form or table and then reference them while in VBA. What I am hoping to do is when I write all my code for command buttons to change On Got Focus, instead of writing xxx.backcolor = RGB (255,255,255) i could do something like xxx.backcolor = Forms!HiddenColors!Command That way if i want to ever change the color scheme of the db, I can change it in one place rather than hunt lines of code.
View 6 Replies View RelatedA couple of days ago I was looking to change a form button color in a new database I was working on, I could not. I changed the Back Color to #22B14C but it stayed the same grey color. I could not make the change in that form in that database.
Then I went into a different database that I built and I noticed that the Command Buttons within the form was blue, I changed it to #22B14C and it turned green. What the difference is. I copied the button to the first stated database and in that form and the color stayed to grey even though the Back Color was set at #22B14C. I noticed that the database that the form that I could change the color had Hover and Press color options whereas the first database does not. I copied the form that I could change the button colors to the first database and I could change the colors but they had changed from the second database to the first, I could change the colors but the Hover and Press options were gone.
how I get the first form to change colors and what is the difference between the two databases?
I have a simple form with 3 check boxes. I want to write a vb code that will change the color of a box if a box is selected.
Table Name: tbl_main
Form Name: frm_color
Field Names: [check_red] [check_blue] [check_yellow]
Box Names: 'box_red' 'box_blue' 'box_yellow' (all currently translucent)
If someone checks the [check_red] field I want the 'box_red' to go from translucent background to a red background, and when unchecked to go back to translucent. Same with the Blue & Yellow boxes.
I have made a simple database and attached it for an example. Thank you all.
Hi everyone,
The problem I'm having is I need to have the background of a field change color depending on what's contained within the field. There's only three possible entries in the field: active, inactive, and a blank entry. I need it to show green if the field contains "active", red if the field is "inactive" or is blank (I also want the blank fields to show inactive, but that's niether here or there right now.)
I've been trying to get it to work with an if then statement, and setoption to change the background. I've had no luck with any of it, though.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Is there any way to change the color of a field based on the value of a field.
I know how to do this for a single form but I need to do it for a Continuous Form
(each line may be a different value and have a different color.)
Is there some event that happens before each line displays???
Thanks
I have one color scheme I want to use all through the database I am developing. The next examples have just one color defined, to make it simpler (a dark blue, that I would call B1)
Code:
private sub setlabel()
Dim B1
B1 = RGB (0,52,105)
me.label1.forecolor = B1
end sub
... however this means I have to repeat the color definition every sub, so I thought would be neater to define a function to set my color codes (I have 20 colors).
Code:
Function SetColor()
Dim B1
B1 = RGB (0,52,105)
End function
My objective, is when I'm working in forms, Iwould (ideally) call this function "setcolor" and just write my code for the blue. I tried the examples below:
Code:
Private sub setlabel()
SetColor()
me.label1.forecolor = B1
end sub
[code]...
Again, this is probably some definition of arguments or dimensions that I am not aware oh. How to predefine the colors in a function to give them a "short" code which I can call in any sub in the database?
1. Can we have the cells within access table change color when their input changes as in excel? For Ex:
If the input for a cell inside Column "Status" says "Pending" then the cell color is orange.If it says "Completed" then color is green?
Is this possible on Access?
2. Also is it possible to change the color of Column headings?
I tried changing the color but found that the entire table changed colors with alternate rows.
I have a report that contains game and its rating, the rating goes from -10 to +10, I would like to highlight the games that have a rating 1 or more with green color, rating 0 with yellow, and -1...-10 with red color, allso I would like to make a link on the game, so that when I click on it, it will open a form where that game is registered, for example it I want to change rating.

Suppose the following data entry form (continuous) is to fill in spouse name, while name and marital status is already prepared in a different table. If the marital status is Married, then the spouse name textbox's background color will be Yellow. The standard background color is white.
Name Marital Status Spouse Name
-------------------------------------
xxxx Married (Yellow)
xxxx Unknown (White)
xxxx Not married (White)
xxxx Married (Yellow)
