no colour in PDF reports from MS Access 2003

1 New Member
Hi All,

I created some MS Access 2003 reports with a nice colour scheme. When I click on the PDF button, the report is converted but none of the colours show.

Any ideas why this is happening?

Thanks

What PDF program are you using? I've had some problems using Adobe's PDF Suite. While trying to print from Access 2003, the functionality of the PDF printer is very sporatic. Sometimes it works. Usually, it would cause the Access to crash. I ended up using CutePDF. It's free and it hasn't given me any problems with colors.

I would swear that when I developed in A97, I could change the back colour of a form. However, in Windows XP, on both A97 and A2003, there no longer is a property showing in the format tab for form properties for a back colour. I think the themed control idea is pretty good in that a developer can really go out on a limb if s/he chooses all kinds of fancy background colours for his/her app since colours selection is a very subjective...

I'm working with a database developed by an untrained person over several years - and on a network that has recently been upgraded with a new server installed and MS office upgraded from 2K (I think - it might have been XP) to 2003. The database is impressive, both in what it does and the obtuse and inconsistent ways it works. There are several hundred queries, for example, with no indication of where they are used or if they are in fact...

Greetings: I have a converted Access 2000 database that got replaced not converted to a Access 2003 Database file. Now the reports in Access 2003 Database will not open. I tried removing Access 2003 and then loading Access 2000. In Access 2000 it allows me to open the reports but it will not allow me to create a new report.

Hi all, I'm using Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET 2003 against a fixed Access database with a fixed database-level password, using OLEDB. I designed the reports just fine, but I'm not finding a way to actually use them from code. Is there really no way to either embed the fixed connection info in the report or somehow get the string "Jet OLEDB:Database Password=password" into the OLEDB connection string from code? If not, my...

I use Terry Kreft's & Stephen Lebans colour dialog procedures for users to pick colours for various control properties in certain apps. Is there a way to take the colour code that is displayed in a backcolor/forecolor/etc property and calculate the "reverse colour"? In other words, If a user picks 255 (red) for a control backcolor, I'd like to be able to calculate the opposite or negative of that colour and assign the control's...

In the last 1-3 weeks, we have had numerous users of Task Manager 2007 (www.orbisoft.com) complain that they can no longer export certain reports (Task Manager 2007 uses a Sagekey.com Access 97 runtime) to Excel 2003 or Word 2003 format. They say they get an error message then both Task Manager 2007 and Office 2003 shut down. Any ideas why this is happening?

Hi! We have a VB application using Crystal Reports 6 that has worked successfully on hundreds of systems for over 10 years. Now, on one network, the application and access database does not close.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. 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,...
