Change colour of a field
Hi Guys,
Are you able to change the colour of a field dependant on the fields current value in datasheet view. When the output from a query is opened, I want to be able to have differeent colours for different values. Ie when the value in a field is hertz I want the datsheet view to be green, yet when the value is Custom Fleet I want the colour to be Green... Am I able to do this from the Datasheet view (output from a query)?? many thanks in advance ?? Cheers, |

Change colour of a field
Hi Daryl,
Thanks for your responce but Ihave to ask how do you do conditional formatting?? Is there code you need to develop to set the colours for opartciulars values... how do you do it?? many thanks for your input!!

You are limited in the number of options you have, but it can do what you want. -- Daryl S "DontKnow" wrote: Hi Guys, Are you able to change the colour of a field dependant on the fields current value in datasheet view.

Hi John,
Its not a form that I require help, its the output from a QBE which is only a datasheet view, can you do conditional formatting from the output from a query? I don't think that you can. I have no problems in conditional formatting whilst the output is in a form, but the output from a query (datasheet view) I am not sure if this is even possible? many thnaks for input!!

This is one of a great many reasons to routinely use Forms for all output, and not allow users to even know that query/table datasheets *exist*. -- John W. Vinson [MVP] |

You should do this in a form, then you can use the datasheet view of the
form... -- Daryl S "DontKnow" wrote: Hi John, Its not a form that I require help, its the output from a QBE which is only a datasheet view, can you do conditional formatting from the output from a query?
