Change Colour Dependant On Field Value

Jun 28, 2006

Hello,

First please accept my apologies if this has been done before. In the attached database I am going to have a form which is continous what I am looking to do is change the colour of the box which is in the background to the associated colour from the quote table for example

if they choose water then it will look at the TBLQuoteType and change the box colour to the colour which has been assigned to that value.

Hope this explains it ok I will continue to try and figure it out but I thought I could also use your expert knowledge.

Thanks again

Change The Colour Of A TextBox / Field Depending On It's Value?

Jun 7, 2006

Hello fellow programmers, I have a tricky one for you. We have decided to split our local City up into different zones. Giving each zone a number and assigning it a colour. I have a form with all the customers who want jobs done in different parts of the city. This form has a text box on it called: Zone - (which has a 3 digit number it it). I want the colour of the text box to change depending on the Zone number, in the continuous Form view. So all the customers living in Zone=111, will have a Red background colour (color), all living in Zone=222 will have a Green background colour. I know conditional formatting through the properties of the Form can be used, but it only allows me to select 3 different situations. I have many more than 3 colours that I want to assign. I am working on a VB module to define what colour numbers from the MS Access Colour Map will be assigned to each Zone number. How can I now apply this module to the form, so when it opens, all the customers who live in Zone=111 will have a Red coloured background, those living in Zone=222 will have a green colour background, etc?

Change Background Colour !

Jan 24, 2007

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.

Change Label Colour

Nov 3, 2006

Ok what I would like to do is have a switchboard with a number of command buttons on, each button opens to a form with a few fields within them.

Is it possible for the initial switchboard labels to be 'red', then as the related form is opened and populated the switchboard label turns 'amber' and once the form is complete the switchboard label is 'green'. See example piccie attached, to get a better understanding!

This is to enable multiple users to see at a glance the status of various jobs.

If anyone knows how I can go about this or suggest any alternatives, I'm open to suggestion.

Thanks in advance

Change The Font Colour For The Whole Form?

Jan 17, 2006

I've been working on a database for quite a while now, and i've now given it out for testing, and i've come across a little problem. One of the users is colour blind, and the colour theme i've used throughout this database is causing him problems.

I have a function that can single him out when he logs in, question is, is there a way i can change the font colour for the whole database in one go through code??

I have around 12 forms with many controls and labels, i'm kind of hoping i don't have to name each control and label separately to change the font colour.

Please tell me that there’s some clever piece of code that can change the font colour on a form in one hit…..


Regards

Darren.

Change Colour Of ALL Labels In Database

Feb 6, 2006

Hi

I have a problem where the user has certain contraints in colour.

I am trying to change all the colours of labels in the database to purple.

Is there any way to declare it once in the database and all label statements will pick up the new colour. Saves me going through every form. Also there are other users who want to use the database with black.

???:rolleyes:

General :: Using A Toggle Button To Change A Label Colour?

Feb 27, 2014

Is it possible to use a toggle button to change the colour of a label?

I assume the code should be something like this:

Code:
If Me.ToggleButton = 1 Then
Label.BackColor = RGB(0, 255, 0)
ElseIf Me.ToggleButton = 0 Then
Label.BackColor = RGB(255, 255, 255)
End If

But I've tried it in the "On Click" sections and it doesn't work.

Change Colour Of Entry To Differentiate Between Students And Parents Results?

Oct 7, 2011

I have a large database of students and parents which charts their weight, waist circ., lifestyle etc. When I then create reports, is it possible to change the colour of the entry so that I can differentiate between students and parents results? In other words, can I have all student entries in red and all parents in black, for example? At the moment, when I try to change the colour of one of these, the entire column changes to that colour and I don't know how to amend my reports to do this. Please see attached.

Lookup Field Row Dependant

Mar 18, 2005

Hi Everyone,

I have a question about lookup fields. I have the tables below. The main table is [vid] and i reference other tables like [manufacturer], [model].. etc. to fill in [vid]. I have pull down lookups for all of [vid] but it is showing all models, makes, etc. I need helping making the lookup row dependant. For example when I am in [vid] and click on the [model] combo box for vid=1, I only want to see the models for that manufacturer(Ford), so it will only show mustang, escape, and navigator; not all of the models. For vid=2, when I click the pull down for model I only want to see Gm Models, corvette and cavalier. So this is what i mean be row dependant. Is this possible?

Thanks so much in advanced,
Michael

[vid]
vid,year,mft, make, model, submodel, ...
1,2005,ford,ford,Mustang,GT
2,2005,GM,Chevrolet,Cavalier, LS
3,2005,dcx,Jeep,Wrangler,base
...
30,2005,ford,Lincoln,Navigator, base

[manufacturer]

Forms :: Lookup Value Dependant On Previous Field Entry - Requery?

Jun 21, 2015

I'm creating a database which contains information for keeping dog grooming clients. It has 3 tables, table 1 is customer, table 2 is dog, and table 3 is booking.I want to be able to choose the customer table and within that you can see the pet linked to that customer and within the dog table you can see any bookings with that dog.What I have done is linked the pet and booking table to the customer details via mobile no. being the primary key.

I want a form called appointments which contains fields *ID, date, mobile, dog name, grooming stlye and other. What i want to happen is this, once the mobile number is entered, i then when it to lookup the mobile number in the dog table and pull the pet name from that, then in the dog name box it will then provide a drop down of dogs related to that mobile number.

I understand a query needs to be made in the dog name field, so in that field i created a query to look up the mobile no. in the appointment table, and to then lookup the pet name in the pets table. This kind of works. The two problems are this, the drop down in the dog name field shows all of the dogs in the database not just the ones assigned to the mobile no. in the field before. If i choose one of the dogs not related to that mobile it changes the mobile number in the field before to the relevant one (but i don't want to be able to see the dogs which arent related to the mobile no. in the field before.The other issue is that on one of the customers there are two dogs, now on the drop down you can see both dogs, but it will only allow you to select the dog that was entered first into the database. If i select the other dog it simply chooses the data for the one first entered.

I have read about doing Requeries on the afterupdate of the field and attempted this by choosing the dog name field and in the afterupdate telling it to requery pet name (I've also tried mobile), this hasn't worked. I have a feeling I'm getting a bit confused by which fields i'm supposed to use etc.

Change Colour Of Navigation Buttons And Command Buttons?

Mar 17, 2006

Is this possible? I can't seem to find this q anywhere here so I thought I'd post.

I changed the colour of my form to white, but the Navigation Buttons at the bottom and the command buttons that I 've added stay at the default grey.

Is there anyway to change this? I right-clicked and tried changing it to white through the properties but there's nothing there that does this.

:confused:
