Adding a colour picker to a Field in an MS Access 2007 Table? Ask Question 0. I'm hoping to add a Color Picker to a field in an Access database table, instead of having to type in numbers manually. Sorry - my knowledge of Access is almost non-existent. I still can't see how I can achieve what I want with a Datasheet though, if that's what.
Colour Picker Jan 31, 2006 Im using a colour picker to change the colour of a text box on click. I need to store the colour in the text box. At the moment it changes the colour of the text box in every record. How can I overcome this? Similar Messages:. ADVERTISEMENT May 1, 2013 I've been updating the look of some of my db's and am trying to access the new style colour picker per Office 2007/10.
Up to now I have been using Private Declare Function ChooseColorAPI Lib 'comdlg32.dll' Alias 'ChooseColorA' (pCHOOSECOLOR As ChooseColor) As Long which displays the pre 2007 style. I've looked all over the web but cannot find anything relating to the current style (other than using it from the ribbon or control properties), so not sure if I should be looking for a different function or a change to the ChooseColor type values. All db's are running 32bit access and at the moment 32bit OS but will no doubt have OS upgrades to 64bit soon. Apr 6, 2006 After Searching the Web, I couldn't find anything that did something as simple as this, choose a color. So here is one! Waste not, want not.please feel free to use it! Aug 16, 2004 I've been trying to get a datepicker working in Access, unfortunately Access doesn't really seem to support it very well.
I suppose I could make my own if I had to. I miss VB.NET. VB.NET had built in date functions that allowed you to do a lot of things with dates. VB 6.0 has hardly any such functionality. What I'd like to do though, is to be able to figure out which day of the week any given date is on. I don't want to write code like that myself, it feels like it would be too much work.
Does anyone know of any code that would help out with a solution like this? Jul 26, 2007 I want to let the user to select the date and time by showing a control/screen fot this. I used the MS access control: Microsoft Date and Time Picker Control 6.0. However, this doesnt show the date properly. Is there any Fully Free software that I can use to show a screen to allow the user to pick the date and time? Thanks, Aug 27, 2007 Hi I'm using the activeX control Date and Time Picker which work fine. I'm having trouble though to set the MaxDate and MinDate from VBA.
For instance me.DateTimepicker12.MaxDate=' returns an error 'Invalid date.' I have tried many different formats for the date, but not the right one. Is there someone who can shed some light on this? Thanks in advance Sep 10, 2006 I must be missing something obvious. It would be nice to have a date picker, to reduce input errors. I'm trying to get a combo box datepicker to work from a popup form. I've looked at fontstuff's version (but it has the date on the main form (as do the examples I've found using search).
I have to run two queries to get the data I need, and the best way is to have them called at the same time from a macro - hence the popup form. If I use a text box txtDate formatted as a date box forms!GetDate!txtDate works fine. How do I get the variabe txtDate to accept the results of the three combo boxes as a single date value? Mar 18, 2005 Here is what i need help with i have the basic lay out but i just need someone to help me figure out the rest of this.

Attached is a sample database with what i am trying to do. If someone would be so kind to help me figure this out that would be great. Thanks chad Mar 3, 2006 in access xp, there was a handy active x DTP. It doesn't seem to be available in access 2003.
Is calendar control 11 there only option here?? It really isn't as convenient as the DTP.
Maybe there's a way I can make the calendar control operate in a similar way to the DTP?? Or maybe there is a DTP but its called another name in the active x list. Any ideas are appreciated. Oct 12, 2006 Well this is bizzare, I am using the microsoft date picker in my form. I have made it non editable (i.e. Editable=false) when the form loads.
I am making it editable on the click of a button. Seems all so simple huh. But my problem is that when I click the button, the date picker is displaced at the top of the form. When I move the slide bar of the form, it again comes back to its original position. Can anyone explain this?? And how to make it simple?
Mar 8, 2007 Hi I am using the Date Time Picker in MS Access. When I transfer my database to another computer the control shows as a blank white box. I have already done regsvr32 to register the relevant ocx and ticked the Microsoft Windows Common Controls -2 6.0 (SP6) in the reference box.
Is there any other way to repair this control without having to reinstall the whole thing. Thanks - Rob Nov 27, 2007 Hi All, I know there are several examples of calendar date and time pickers about so I thought I would offer mine up for critique. No modules, very little code, code used is simple and can be called from subforms as well as forms. I used these forms in an application where the users find filling in date and times in the correct format difficult with limited keyboard skills. If it can be improved let me know.:) Garry PS I think the contributions Banana has been making to this forum are invaluable.
Keep up the good work. May 15, 2006 How do I change the ms date/time picker control 6 to have a default null value? Nov 13, 2006 Hi All, Is it possible to change the format of a date picker, for instance once i have selected a date, its is visible as, can this be edited to just the month and the year 11/2006. Oct 11, 2004 I have a form with a date picker control. I am not able to set the default value of the picker to the current date. For example say If I set the default value to 'Today', i.e 11 Oct, Even tomorrow it will retain the same value '11 Oct' and not '12 Oct'. Is there any way that I can set the default value to current date?
Oct 13, 2006 Hello, I solved my last problem by not using the ActiveX date picker. Now the date picker which I am using is really good. But my new problem is that my date picker has a format of dd/mm/yyyyy. Also the format in my database is the same. But when I try to store to store the date value through the querry, the format stored in the database is mm/dd/yyyy.
I dont understand this cos I checked the the date picker passes the correct format. I am totally confused!!! (as always) Does anyone know how to store the correct format in the database.??

The Microsoft Access Date Picker Database is a sample database that shows you how to implement a custom date picker form inside your own Access Database. An on-screen date picker can be very helpful when deploying an Access Database on a device that has a touch screen like a Surface Pro, Asus Vivo Tab with Windows 8, Dell Venue, or other similar device. This provides users with large buttons to touch to enter values into a field in a Microsoft Access form.
Please learn more about the Microsoft Access Numeric Keypad for a keypad version of this template, and the Microsoft Access Keyboard for a keyboard version of this template. Please note that this is a template database. If it does not meet your needs 100%, and you are unable to customize it yourself, let WSI know and we will provide a quote to develop the customizations you need to get you exactly what you want in your Access Date Picker Database System. A demo version for free to test!
The demo version is in Access 2007, which will work on either Access 2007, 2010, 2013 or 2016. If you need a previous version of Access to try, please. Please note that the demo version of the software is fully functional, but is in a compiled state that prevents it from being implemented in your database; the full version of the software, available for purchase, gives you full access to all the code to modify it for you own needs. This includes, but is not limited to, the ability to implement the Date Picker system right into your own database. The full version of the database is a standard Access Database file. You will have full access to the database window, all design objects, the visual basic project code, and you will be able to modify or add to the design in any way you wish (this does not apply to the run-time/compiled versions). If you lack the time to integrate this database into your system, please and we will be glad to help with your integration process.
If you like the basics of what you see in the database, but need enhancements to make the system functional for your business, please and we will develop a quote for you to implement the additional features and enhancements that you require.

Steve Da Silva Manager – Customer Support Toronto Ontario Canada On October 5, 2015 I was working on an Access database program, and needed assistance to get it in use quickly. I found Winning Solutions via google/chat now, they contacted me with their programmer Andres Dominicci the next day.
With the expertise of Andres the database was put in the store for use just 4 days later. The efficiency of his programming and the added benefit of video to refer back to in case of small adjustments brought what seemed like a daunting task into reality very quickly.
