Set "backcolor" property in form with macro that holds

6 New Member
I am trying to set the "backcolor" property in fields in a form. It sets okay using a macro (setvalue). But when I close the form, the property settings revert back to what they were before I closed the form. So when I reopen the form, the settings are not changed. If I manually change the settings while not in Design mode (using the "fill with" icon), the settings hold. If I change the settings while in Design mode, the settings do not hold.
My goal is to have a form that indicates the status of individual "units" determined by the backcolor of each field that refers to a unit. I want to have a macro that will automatically set the backcolor of the field when the status of the unit changes.

Thanks in advance for your expert opinion.

Is this a continuous form or sinle view? You might want to take a look at Conditional Formatting if you're running Access 2000 or later.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
