Multi-color In List/subform/...
Jul 10, 2006Hi all.
I have searched everywhere but I cannot find the anwser. I'll try to explane.
I have a table in ma database, to make it easier, let's call it Table1.
Table1:

If category = 2, then the backcolor of that record should be green.
Now the problem is, how can I get multicoloring in my list? or in a subform?

Queries :: Using Variable In A List Field Query - Getting Complete List On Initial View
Mar 28, 2014In my access form I provide the user a list of locations from various countries in a listbox . But the list is too long so I provide him a combobox for selecting a country. Selecting the country should update the listbox showing only the locations in that specific country.
So my SELECT from the listbox must cover the unselected state and show all entries and when a country is selected it must narrow the selection.
I tried to get this happen with the following SELECT statement containing a variable. Choosing a country in the Combobox results in a change of the variable and in a requery. This works after the first country is selected and for each country change, but the initial list is empty.
VBA in the loadform
'Application.TempVars.Add "varcountryselect", "*"
SELECT in the listbox "lstlocationsperproject"
SELECT tbllocations.locationID, tbllocations.country, tbllocations.localstreet, tbllocations.localcity FROM tbllocations WHERE ((tbllocations.country) Like [TempVar]![varcountryselect]);
VBA in the combobox
Application.TempVars("varcountryselect") = [Form]![kombcountryselect].Column(0)
Me.lstlocationsperproject.Requery
The values in [kombcountryselect].Column(0) are texts like "SPAIN", "MEXICO", etc.
Any hints, how I have to use the * for getting the complete list on the initial view ?
Create A Randomise List From A Table And Save The List For Each Month
Dec 14, 2006Hi All a newbie here so any help will be appreciated,
sorry for the long post but trying to give you all the information you might need.
I wrote a basic access database for my Church to aid in a paperwork audit for a charity food drop which we do monthly to give free food to the needy.
But each month it gets harder to find out who was in line first so I thought with all your help we may be able to randomize the names each month in a different order as to avoid confusion and also avoid people waiting in line as they turn up at 5am and we don't start until 9am.
So if this will work in access they can all come for 9am
I don't mind creating a new database and adding the additional information, if that's what it would take.
My Background I have created basic databases from scratch not using wizards, But I don't know much about code or how to implement it so any help in where code goes it would be very much appreciated.
Database details (Microsoft Access 2002 version)
Table Name = details
Field name = ID (auto-generated)
Field name = FirstName (text)
Field name = Surname (text)
If possible it would be nice to keep a record of the randomized lists (in the database somewhere ?) each month in case anyone wants to see it or disputes the lists, where I can just create a report to show the details.
There will be approximately 90 to 125 names.
Thank you in advance for all your help in this matter

Reports :: Exclude Individuals From False List If They Are In True List
Jul 15, 2013I have created my tables and form and am now trying to run reports to organize the data. I have figured out how to group the individuals by group and treatment, but can't figure out how exclude individuals from the final list if they are already in another. As background, some of the individuals are eventually excluded from the experiment, though I keep the initial data. When the exclude individual checkbox is checked ("True" on the report) I do not want the individual to be listed in the "False" list, even though there are entries for that individual when that checkbox wasn't checked (when it was "True"). This is so I can get an idea of the current totals in each group.
Implant Period
>Treatment
>>Exclude individual?
>>>Individual ID
I feel like this should be a fairly simple task, but I cannot figure it out... Maybe there is coding to exclude individuals from the "False" list if they are already listed in the "True" list?
Use Multi-select List Box To Filter A Report With Two List Boxes
Nov 20, 2013Allen Browne's "Use a multi-select list box to filter a report" solution, in particularly with two multi-select list boxes? The code works fine for me for either box so long as I code it for one box alone. Combining the two into one code results in a type mismatch error. I'm trying to use the code to pass the contents of both multi-select boxes as Where conditions to a report. Both boxes are based on number fields. To try to isolate the problem, I've removed Allen's setDescription and OpenArgs conditions. We're unfortunately still on Access 2003 as the company desires to squeeze every dime by using until end-of-life next year.
Code:
Private Sub cmdPreview_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Handler
'Purpose: Open the report filtered to the items selected in the list box.
Dim varItem As Variant 'Selected items

Queries :: Return List Of Records From Original List
Apr 23, 2013I'm looking to move an excel sheet to access because the row counts are too much.The main thing it does is compare the supplied data against a list I hold in the sheet.There are not duplicate records, however..Some data is a direct lookup for a full match, but much of it is a count to see how many records contain a certain string.
I have 500 keywords which have a countif function in using wildcards.I need to create a query/report which will return a list of records from the original list which contains each keyword featured and how many times it features.I was going to do it in PHPmysql but the time it took to parse a million records for every keyword made it pointless.
eg:
keywords:
look
billy
magic
list:
"have a look and see"
"spanish dave"
"who is billy brag"
"looky looky I go hooky"
"who's the man from argentina"
"could it be magic now"
my spreadsheet would return a 1 next to ""billy" and "magic" and would put a 2 next to "look".
the sheet has the keyword in each row and next to the column:
=COUNTIF(list,CONCATENATE("*@",B13))
where "list" is the external data.

Apr 18, 2006Hi everybody,
I'm trying to make the backround color of a text box "prova" (short date value) changing according to the values of other two different text boxes "StartDate" and "EndDate" (both are short date values).
I'd like the backround of prova to be blue if its value is between StartDate value and EndDate value.
So in the code builder I made this function:
Private Sub prova_AfterUpdate()
If Me.prova.Value > Me.StartDate.Value & Me.prova.Value < Me.EndDate.Value Then
Me.[prova].BackColor = vbBlue
Else
Me.[prova].BackColor = vbWhite
End If
End Sub
Is that correct?
Thank a slot for your help :confused:
About MS Access And Color Codes
May 11, 2006Sometimes the simplest of questions can be the hardest to find the answer to. I have spent the last 2 hours searching for the answer to this one. I'm sure it's on this site somewhere but the search is running way to slow for me to be of any use.
What exactly does the numeric color codes in VBA represent? I have downloaded a score of color pickers. utilities and none use these numbers in the way Access does. Ideally, I'd like to find a utility that will allow me to specify a particular color and then give me the corresponding code for that color.
TIA
Color Code From Hex To Long Int
Mar 19, 2008I am using Access 2007 and trying to set the BackColor property of a text
box on a form using VBA Code in the Form_Open event with code like this:
Me.txtName.BackColor = <some global variable>
Here's the thing: In order to get the correct color numer, I first pick my
desired color from the palette to see its value. In this case, a very bright
red comes up as #ED1C24.
In Access 2003 and earlier, this value would be represented as a long
integer, not a Hex. So, my question is how to get the HEX value converted to a long integer??
The BackColor property is supposed to be a long integer data type, but that is NOT what the design interface is presenting to me!
Why did Microsoft change the BackColor property of form and report objects from long integer representation to Hex?
CONFUSED!!
Format Cell Color
Oct 19, 2004This is a very stupid question, I'm sure...
I want to get Access to find a cells that have a certain value and make them a particular colour so that they can easily be seen by database users. I could also make the font a different colour. I've tried getting the builder to do this in the query I run (for the column the fields appear in) but nothing seems to work. How and where do I enter formatting for colour / font colour based on data that is already in the cell... and what do I need to type?
Also would it be faster to get Access to do this before I run a query - so that the formatting is appllied to the whole table or would it be faster to do it during the query process?
Any help would be much appreciated.

View 2 Replies View RelatedChanging Color In IIf Statement?

It works just fine, but I was wondering if there'd be a way to change the text color of the <<true>> statement based on what it is? i.e. "Outstanding" and "Very Good" would be green, "Effective" could be yellow, "Marginal could be brown and "Unacceptable" could be red. How would I implement that into this expression, if that's even possible? Thanx for your assistance!
