Hi guys,
I'm using a subform to display a list of values from a single table.
The form is showing the values in "continuous forms" view and there
will only ever be two different values for the form. The form show 2
fields, 1 is a number and the second is a calculated field that says
either "Valid" or "Invalid" based on the first fields contents. What
I need to do is if the value is Invalid then I'd either like the text
or the actual field to be red so it stands out from the other fields
but if the value is Valid then I want the field to be standard (i.e.
white background, black text.).
Could anyone help me to work this out as it's probably very simple but
I've been pulling my hair out this morning (and there isn't very much
to begin with.).
Many thanks, Dean...

Access 2000 or newer?
You can use the control's Conditional Formatting.
In Form Design View, select the calculated control.
Click on Format + Conditional Formatting.
Set Condition1 to
Field Value Is equal to
write
"Invalid"
in the next box.
Select the appropriate backcolor/forecolor color you wish.
Save the change.

I have a parameter query that asks the user to input the 'slip reference'
based on the accounting period. This has now changed slightly so that the
slip reference number is based on the date, so for instance if the date is
as follows, the slip reference is as follows:
J12345 21/08/2003
J12346 22/08/2003
J12347 23/08/2003

I want to create two buttons on a form. One would allow the user to
Copy the contents of the current records memo field, the other would
allow them to print. I set up a report based on the memo field, and
it works. But, it seems wrong since I had to create a huge text box to
accommodate memo fields with a lot of text.
Thanks for any help,

Hi:
I have a form which is based on a query, and is being used to update a table. It all works
well, except for one thing. I have a number of unbound calculation fields (total value,
Labor Value, etc) which are based on the contents of the records. Within the records
themselves there are also calculated fields (Line item value). When I change a critical
field (price per unit), and do a Refresh (through a macro linked to the after...

What I am trying to do is essentially 'flip' the bits, when the user
clicks in the checkbox. For example, if the CheckBox appears checked,
and the user un-checks it, I want the underlying data field to change
from a "1" to a "0" (and vica versa).
I have the bindings worked out, I just can't figure out how to do the
update.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp
Here is the code in...

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,...
