I have sever forms and selecting a Theme Font work fine with all except one form.
The field is a Memo Field (I have other forms with different memo fields and they are fine) that just doesn't want to use the Theme Font(s). I have several Theme Fonts and it doesn't work with any of them.
So far I've deleted the control saved it and then put it back... no good. I even created a new form and the same thing happens.
I believe thats the proper word for it. Attached is a screenshot of a section of the database that I have started working on. It is to track placement for a college. Its my first ever and I am fairly good at making things look good, but as far as function - I am terrible.
I can change the raised box that the tab control sits on to a dark maroon when someone has a felony (so it notifies the user of this status)
Private Sub Form_Current()
If [Felony] = True Then
Felonybox.BackStyle = 1
Felonybox.BackColor = RGB(159, 19, 44)
Else
Felonybox.BackStyle = 1
Felonybox.BackColor = RGB(208, 207, 202)
End If
End Sub
I also have this done on After_Update.
I am trying to change the font on the Tab Control to Red when this occurs as well (only change the 'Criminal History CONFIDENTIAL' to red). I can not find this option anywhere, is this something that has been done or CAN be done?

I have two comboboxes on my form. When the value of the first combobox (SourceWH) changes it performs a requery on the second (DestWH) as the drop-down list needs to be filtered depending on the first value. I have this working fine but my problem arises when I need to be able to swap the values of each combobox. I have created a command button which stores the value of each combobox and then swaps them but my problem is that if I click the button the second combobox becomes blank. I guess this is something to do with the requery taking place after the value of the first combobox is updated but am unsure how to rectify this problem.
The first combobox has the following expression in the expression builder:
Action Argument
Requery DestWH
The command button has the following code:
Private Sub Swap_Btn_Click()
Dim SourceValue, DestValue As String
SourceValue = Me.SourceWH.Value
DestValue = Me.DestWH.Value
Me.DestWH.Value = SourceValue
Me.SourceWH.Value = DestValue
End Sub
When I change a font for a control, save it and then reopen it the font changes back to another font.
It's always the same font.
I'm trying to save it to Calibri but it reverts back to Constantia for some reason.
I've deleted the bound control and added it back but it did no good.
The only way I can change the font is to set it in the On Load of the form.
Is it possible in Access 2010 to change the theme for a single form? I do not want the theme for all my other forms to change, but only for 1 specific one.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am experiencing a problem in MS Access 2013. I have a form which was working just fine until now. It has form labels in Calibri font and their font colour is one shade lighter than black. Today, I changed the font colour of the form labels to be Automatic - black (shows as 'Text 1' colour in the form properties). I did this in Design view.
I find that when I switch to layout view, the font of the labels appears as Century Gothic. This is the font that appears in the Form view. So while the font colour is correctly changed, the font name is not what I had set in the Design view. When I go back to the Design view, and change the font colour back to the original colour which was one shade lighter than black (Text 1, Lighter 50%), the font is correct in the Layout view and the Form view (Calibri).
So it seems that there is some sort of binding between the font colour (black) and the font name (Century Gothic). When I change the font colour, the font also changes. When I restore the original colour (one shade lighter than black), the font Calibri is correctly retained.
I created a form that has about 200 fields and all the fields are utilized at a point depending on the work order assigned to us. I wanted to know if it's possible to put like a toggle box or a check box etc. next to the field so if it is checked it would be in a Dark color and the ones not utilized are in a shade of gray. All the fields are coming from the same table. Another thing it's an estimate worksheet so a row would have something like, Labor, QTY, HRs, Overtime, total as columns, so I would want a check box to have control over those but one for each row, EX contractor, locksmith.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a form that some fields have gray font instead of black. All of the properties seem to be the same as the other fields. The issue has to do with the 'Manage Sales Order' Form in the 'Products' Database.
Customer ID
Payment Type
I have an unbound list box that updates the data displayed on the form when a selection is made from the list.
Private Sub List13_AfterUpdate()
' Find the record that matches the control.
Dim R As Recordset
Set R = Me.RecordsetClone
R.FindFirst "[HospitalID] = & '" & Me![List13] & _
"'"
Me.Bookmark = R.Bookmark
Me![List13].Requery
End Sub
I am having problems with this no longer working once I import the database objects into a secured database. I am encountering an error "Compile Error: Method or data member not found" with reference to the list box in the "findfirst" statement.
I have tried this many times before and after the security and the results are consistent.
I was otherwise ready to go with this new database. Any insight would be appreciated as always.
Thanks.
I am creating a form and I have some fields I don't want people being able to change so I selected to disable them in the datasheet but now the labels have a strange double text, it looks different than all the other labels and is driving me nuts. when I enable it the font on the label goes back to what the others are but once I change it to disabled it goes funky again. how do I fix this?
View 4 Replies View RelatedIt is a strange effect I get when switching among records.
In a form I have a TAB Control with some pages, when I open the form everything is ok:
But, when switching continuosly among records, the font becomes strange, looking like being bold.
It seems to happen only when using TAB control or, if you prefer, only on every TAB control's page except for the first one. Tried on different pc with different resolution.
I have a button that is using a theme. The words do not center.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a field in a table called [PostalCode]. It is a Text field.
I have a report that used the [PostalCode] field. This is a report in a template that I downloaded from Microsoft.
If I enter "1234" in the field in the table, it looks fine in the table.
If I use the field in the report, it display as "1234-"
If I enter "1234567890" in the field in the table, it looks fine in the table.
If I use the field in the report, it display as "23456-7890"
I do not want any mask whatsoever and just want the value to be displayed as the user enters it.
I have looked at the properties of the field and there is nothing setup, I looked at the properties of the Form that edits the field and there is nothing also.
If I look in the actual report I see the following bit of code ,it is the control source for the Text box that is used to display a number of fields including [PostalCode]:
=DLookUp("[Suburb/City]","My Company Information") & ", " & DLookUp("[State]","My Company Information") & " " & Format(DLookUp("[PostalCode]","My Company Information"),"!&&&&&-&&&&")
Using Access 2010, I have a subform in datasheet view and I want to set the font size to 10pt. Setting font sizes for datasheet fields in the Format tab does not change the font size displayed.
I understand that the font size can be set using VBA (for example: Me.DatasheetFontHeight=10). Where do I put this code for it to work in a) a single datasheet b) all datasheets in the db?
I would like to change the Font and background color based on dates.
-I have a text box (Training Event) on a form populated from a field (Training Dates) in a query.
- I need the font and/or the background in that text box to change to red when the date is 12 month past, yellow 11 months past, white 10 months past and green for 9 months past.
Hi.
Can anybody help?
I would like to create a custom theme for my INPUT page, however within Access 2003 I only have the option of about 20 predefined themes. I want to insert my companies' logo onto the INPUT PAGE.
What I would like is to save a template, like I have done in REPORTS, so that when I build a INPUT PAGE I can select my own theme to use, based upon my companies' logo, type face et al .,
Thanks and kind regards.

I would like to be able to change font color and appearance while entering data into a form (example: italicize a word). Is there any way to activate the font format while in a form?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI build MS Access databases for small businesses. Generating emails from within Access is no problem - I can even use Access VBA to select specific email accounts and email signatures. However, I have not been able to find a way to use Access VBA to select a Theme that was set up in Outlook. If I create a Theme using the Outlook 2010 menu selections: Options / Mail / Stationery and Fonts / Theme, that theme is present every time I generate a new email from within Outlook. But if I generate a new email via Access VBA, that theme is no longer present - the email that VBA generates has no Theme. What Access VBA code do I need to use to select an Outlook Theme - even just the default Outlook Theme?
One thought is that if someone knows the keyboard shortcuts to select an Outlook Theme, I can do the rest. I can use SendKeys. But if there is a more sophisticated way of making the Theme appear on emails generated by Access VBA, I am eager to learn.
I am using Access 2010, by the way.
On the Windows 7 Developer desktop, the Windows Theme is set to Windows 7.On the Citrix server (for users) the Windows Theme appears to be Windows 95. It is low graphics.The boxes are square instead of rounded. The selected Form Tabs just barely highlight with a thin line while on Windows 7, the selected Tab completely changes color. A basic Message box in Windows 95 looks square and flat. The title bar is very low graphics as one would expect when graphics were not great. Is there a VBA call that can display the OS Theme that affects MS Access? URL...
View 2 Replies View RelatedNot a very important question and is just for aesthetics however is there a way to make every form, every command button the same colour, font, size etc?
I have selected a theme however it does not change all forms, labels, text boxes, etc
I don't really want to have to go change them all one by one
For example I would like to get rid of all the navigation on all my forms can you change it over whole database or just individually?

I am currently in the process of creating a pop-up menu to allow my users to do some simple text formatting.I have used the following code to do so:
Code:
Dim cmbShortcutMenu As Office.CommandBar
' Create the new pop-up menu instance
Set cmbShortcutMenu = CommandBars.Add("popupFormatMenu", msoBarPopup, False, True)
' Add the bold button
[code]....
The problem is that I now want to add the FontColor picker control and I keep getting an error.I think the problem lies in the type of control I want to add. According to the Microsoft support files I downloaded the fontColor control is of type Gallery and ID = 11949, so the code should look something like this:
Code:
cmbShortcutMenu.Controls.Add Type:=msoControlButton, id:=11949
I need to replace msoControlButton with something else.
In my Access 2010 database there is a form with a large number of checkboxes enabling me to select/deselect certain record details.
Each click on one of the checkboxes triggers a VBA routine setting true/false values in one of several tables linked to the main table.
A query over all records is filtered by the true/false values of the linked tables and the resulting set of records is displayed in the (continuous) form.
The header of the form contains a text field with the value "=GetRecCount()" displaying (correctly, but randomly fast) the number of records selected:
Code:
Function GetRecCount() As String
Dim NumRecs As Long
Dim rs As Object
On Error Resume Next
Set rs = Forms![Super Search].RecordsetClone
rs.MoveLast
NumRecs = rs.RecordCount
Set rs = Nothing
GetRecCount = Format(NumRecs, "##,###")
End Function
Now, the funny thing is that each click on one of the boxes results in 1 call of the VBA routine setting table values, but 21 calls (!) of the text field "=GetRecCount()" in the form. I have established this by incrementing a public variable at each pass.
Why a field in a form is updated 21 times when a filter is applied?
I added a new field to one of my tables and query, but when I try to add a control for that field into my form it is not recognising it and the field isn't appearing in the sources for the form, even though the table is sourced to the form? Or am I going to have to do the usual and redo the entire form because I made a minor adjustment?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a form with a tab control, inside the tab control I placed an ActiveX control (Microsoft Web Browser). These are at the bottom of the form.
Everything displays fine if the entire form fit on the screen but if the form is too long and I scroll down the browser control is getting obscured by the tab control and getting chopped off (the contents are covered). It is as if the browser control is staying in space where it was and moving behind the tab control as I scroll.
This problem does not occur if I place the browser control directly on the form. Also I note that the browser control is sitting correctly within the tab control.
I have been through all the settings and properties of both controls and haven't been able to fix it. I searched all over the web but no one has previously stumbled across this one by the look of it.

I have created a table for installer invoicing, and have a field for invoice amount. I have created a user input form that allows a user to fill in certain pay rates for different aspects of installation, and would like to know how to make the invoice amount a calculated control that will auto update the field InvoiceAmt in my table. I can't figure out how to do this in the property sheet.
