Outline Font
Jul 25, 2006
I think I already know what the answer is going to be, but is there a way of putting an outline around the text on a form so it stand out.
The problem I have is that I have our company Logo as the background and I want the font colour to be consistent. It is white, however there is a small area on the backround which is white. This causes the text to be unreadable.
I don't want to put a box around the field or change the background of the text box, or the colour of the text (Due to the look and feel of the form).
Does anyone know if this is possible.

I 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.

Another question.
One of my tables contains a date/time field format: dd/mm/yyyy;
in the format property of a table column usually (type: text) the indent can be set to left with "!" (without the " of course); however, i would like the date/time column to the left as well in stead of to the right, i can't seem to figure out how to do that.
Please advise
(in this case, my english isn't so good, sorry if you don't understand my question or find it quit cryptical)

I have a couple of command buttons on a form. They have embedded bitmaps as pictures with a caption below. For some reason when the forms loads (and also in design view), there is a narrow white outline / border around them. As if the button is drawn on a slightly larger white square?This border disappears as soon as I hover over the button (in form view) or click on the button (in design view).

I did some searching on changing the color of a font if you change the data. I found a few posts but they really don't fit the need.
I am using a continuous form (which makes this even more difficult) and when someone changes data in a field I want that forecolor to change from black to red.
Is there an easy way (I know not everything is easy) :) in the conditional formatting to create an event? I am thinking not but thought I would ask.
My GUESS is that I need some sort of temp table to verify the data against then return with the forecolor change.
I am using A2k.
Thanks RichB

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?

How do I change font withing a text string?
for example, to issue a message in which one word is bolded such as...
MsgBox "This macro will not work on Wednesdays"
where I would like to display the word "not" in bold, or even a different colour.

Is it possible to conditionally change a font name? Report field is set for Wingdings 2 so I can print a check mark if underlying value is true. Wanting to change back to calibri to print "X" if not true. Haven't been able change it in an if statement. A macro setvalue fieldname.fontname to "calibri" throws type mismatch error. Setproperty choices don't include fontname.

My client wants a company name that appears on multiple forms and reports to show as font name Garamond which is fine... however, he also want the font to appear as "Small caps". In Word and Outlook, under the Font submenu, I can check Small caps and get what he wants... lower case letters are shown as Small capital letters. Is there a way I can make the same settings on labels in Access without installing a new font on each workstation that runs the database.

I replied to a post about this already, but it was in the wrong section.
As you see in the screenshot, I'm having a weird problem.
I have tried re-installing Access but it didn't help. Any ideas?

I am using a special font called Interleaved 2of5. You have to have macros enabled and the font package installed to get this font package to work. I have everything working perfect, I can print reports directly out of Access with the bar code perfect.
Here is my question:
Can anyone figure out how to get this to work in a query?
We have a couple mail merge documents set up in Word and I would like this same bar code to be at the top of the page.
I cannot find a way to get the BarCode to work in a query, only the report. I do not know if this is possible. Here is a sample database that comes with the program.

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.

Hi all,
I have a couple of subforms on one particular PC where the data is showing in some strange font, WingDings or something like that. On my PC the data shows correctly.
Please see screenshot here: http://www.confetti.ie/screenshot1.jpg
I tried changing the Font Name for all the controls in the subform to common fonts Arial, Times etc but it still shows as WingDings.
I also tried changing the default font under Edit > Options to common fonts with no change. In the Options I tried changing font options on the Datasheet and Tables/Queries tab.
Thanks
Melt

Is there a font that comes installed by default in access(windows) that supports subscript? My subscript in access is showing up as a box. If I change it to a font that I have installed/purchased seperate from windows it gets displayed properly. The problem with this, is when it pulls this info displayed in that font to the website, it reverts it to a font that the user doesn't have installed and goes back to a box.
So need a default windows xp font installed in access/windows that supports subscript....
Thanks in advance!

(Simplified example)
On a form I have a combo box - let's call it cmboSickness. it has two options "flu" and "malaria". On the same form I have two command buttons - one ehich opens a malaria form and one which opens a flu form. If I select flu then I want the words on the flu command button to change to red. How do I do this and where do I put the code?
I have tried -
If me.cmbosickness=flu then
cmdflu.color=255
but this doesn't work...

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.

I have spent the better half of the afternoon researching how to accomplish controlling a bold font in a string I am building and sending to Excel.
Code:
' set text for safety hazards and controls
Concretetxt = "Concrete Demolition & vbCrLf & Hazards - dust, flying debris and skin Irritation. & vbCrLf & Control - Respirator, goggles, gloves, inspect equipment prior to use."
Excavationtxt = "Excavations & vbCrLf & Hazards - Damage to underground wires, collapse, falling materials/equipment. & vbCrLf & Control - Ensure utilities have been marked and hand dig when in close proximity, shore properly, Keep clear when lowering materials."
This is a sample of how the strings will build. I will select a task like Concrete Demolition and string it together with other tasks I would like "Concrete Demolition" in bold with the blurb following it then the next task would follow with a bold heading.
My thought is now that it may be easier to control by putting this data into a table instead of building the strings.

All I want to do is change the font color and weight of a couple of columns in a form. No conditions or change when button is pressed or anything like that. Just be blue and stay blue.
I've tried making it a memo, rich-text field and it didn't work.
It works fine in the "member details" form, but not the "member list" form.

Greetings,
Having got my database working, my manager has thrown a spanner in the works.
We have certain employees with the same grade as others "BUT" they have been given a "privilage".
I have put a true/false field in the table and in the report I would like, if the field is true, to print the last name in red or bold for instance.
My report is based on a query, from several tables.
If this can be achieved where to I do the code or whatever,
the table, query or report?
Have searched the forum but couldn't really find what I need.
Any help will be most appreciated.
Thanks,
Brian.
Zimbabwe.
