Hi
I am looking at being able to run a query but would like the results not to be displayed. Ie I would like the query to run in the background. I open the query using a command button from a form.
thanks for any help

Facing a small little problem -I have searched the forum but to no avail...I have designed a macro which runs a two separate OpenQueries, Save and Close statement based on a timer in an attempt to mimick the running of a silent 'SELECT QUERY' in my Access 2003 database project.Is there a cleaner way to silently run this 'SELECT QUERY' in the Background and thus without the using the Open and Close query commands, to prevent the as my screen slicing effect as a result of this.Thanks.
View 4 Replies View RelatedIs it possible to run a query and have the background color of the query field be highlighted if a certain criteria is met?
I'd like to use the expresion builder if possible.
For example if the values in field A and field B do not match, then field C should be a yellow background.
If this is possible, how is it done?
I have several queries that perform an audit on data. I want to create a form that has two buttons, multiple labels and textboxes. When the first button is pressed, it runs all queries and returns a count of the records within each query into the corresponding textbox. Then I want a a button that will clear all textboxes. I don't want to see the queries, I just want them to run in the background and the count results to be populated in the textboxes.
So for example, it would return:
Check1: 3
Check2: 6
Check3: 2
Check4: 0
I would like to change the background color of a field that is the result of a Unique Values query. I am trying to get a list of invoices where all the line items are approved. I can't seem to get it to work the way I want because if even one invoice line item is approved it will show up as approved.
Is there a way to change the background color of the invoice field to red if ANY of the Approved line items are = False
Hi
I have a form, which users print out. On the screen, it has a light grey background, but I do not want this to be printed as it is just a waste of ink
Is there anyway of making the background colour "screen only"?

hello friends
if anyone of the access gurus here had a chance to download and use the Form demo from Microsoft website you would have notieced that the background is actually a bmp picutes of cloudes. Can anyone tell mehow they manage to put that pictures in the foms. i tried using the autoformat but the autoformat has specific formats and not the one i saw in Forms Demo from Microsoft webiste.
Please tell me how to include pictures like these in the form.
I would like to change the color of the actual access database background. I've done my forum searching and found many many threads explaining how to do this but i cant open any of the sample DB's. Access says the file is readonly and you need to be able to edit upon the first opening or something to that affect. I assume its becuse the sample is a newer or older access than im running(XP)
Sorry to rehash old threads but i cant get the info from them.
Can anyone help..Grey sucks ha
thanks
I want to run a pop up message "invisibly".
I have a flash file that jerks when run in access

Without using minimize.
I am trying to put a jpg of a logo onto the top of a form and no matter what I do, it is imported with a white background! I have put it on a transparent canvas in Adobe photoshop, which usually works when I import it into word and other programs, but not access. I have tried looking at the properties of the image in access, but it says that the background is transparent. Help!
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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.
I have a .gif I set up as the background, but it doesn't stretch for the full length of the form. As you can see in the picture, at the bottom where the record selector/scrollbar would be, my background picture is not filling.
Any help would be appreciated.
HI

thank you

This should be an easy one for somebody. I'm a newbie to access and I'm experimenting with a tabbed form. My problem is if I create a new form with (say) two tabs, the area to the right of the tabs(where more tabs would be inserted) is white and I don't know how to change it to blend in with the rest of the page. Hope I'm making myself clear.:(

Hi
We have created some forms using (in some cases) the form wizard.
As you may know you have to select a "Background Style" when using the wizard.
Now we want to change the background from one of these styles to a colour - but when we select it in Properties and try to apply it, it seems to flicker but does not seem to have any effect.
Can anybody help us out please ?
many thanks

I have a master form with a picture as the background with a timer event that fires every 5 minutes. I have a subform (a clock) with a timer event every second to update the text. How do I make the sub form background transparent so that I see the master form back ground?
I did it this way so I didnt have to update the master form data every second.
help would be much appreciated.

I have some code here that is changing the color of a txt box in my form based on the value in the text box. Everything is working great. The only problem is that I have a sub form with many tabs and many, many txt boxes. I would have to replicate this code hundreds of times....
Does anyone know a better (LESS CODE) way to look in the form and change the color of a txtbox based on a value. Something more generic. RIght now I am targeting specific txt boxes...
I just want a general statement that targets the entire form
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR HELP.....THIS IS A GREAT FORUM AND LEARNING TOOL....
CODE:
Private Sub Lower_Level_Concession_Inside_COUNTERS_AfterUpdate ()

Me.Lower_Level_Concession_Inside_COUNTERS.FontBold = True
Me.Lower_Level_Concession_Inside_COUNTERS.BackColo r = 65535
ElseIf Lower_Level_Concession_Inside_COUNTERS = "1" Then

Hi,
I'm currently using MS Access 2002.
I use forms to display client info and i would like to know if the following is possible, and if so, how ?
When a clients installation date is older than 6months old (date is in a text box) i would like the form's background to change colour for that paticular client.
eg/ if the clients installation date was 7 months ago, the form's background would change red - but only to that client.

Hi all,
I have been searching for a setting that enables me to change the background colour of a tab control on a form. It may be something obvious that I have missed.
Changing the type to 'transparent' and setting the form background colour does not seem to work.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Rob
I was wondering if it would be posible to add a wallpaper to the background of the MS access program.
I am ussing Access 97
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.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have created a db with a picture linked to every form as a background.
The mdb file and the jpeg file are on the server but if it is open and someone else tries to open it it will give an error and the bg won't be linked to the forms.
If the picture is embedded the db becomes sooo large (from 700 kb to 43 mb!!!!) so that's also not the solution.
Hope that someone can help.

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>
