    Color Coding Report Detal

    Ah yes, good point! The conditionas are straightforward. When a field field is populated with text, it needs to be colored. That is simple enough, however the colors need to vary. If, for example, fields for Name1, Name2 and Name3 are all populated, the color of all three shouldbe the same...

    Rich Text in Memo Field- Question

    The ability to apply rich text formatting to memo fields (in Access 2007/2010) is quite helpful for me, however I wonder if there is a way to apply the same RTF formatting to multiple memo records (all at the same time)? As it is now, I need to go to each individual record and change the...

    Print a "Continued" message in Repeating Group Header Section

    I have a report with multiple columns. The REPEAT SECTION property of the Group Header is set to "Yes" (so it repeats when there are more detail records than there is space in the column). This is a nice feature but I am constantly replying to complaints from report users who claim data is...

    Column Values to Rows?

    Hi Ken- Thanks for the hint. I looked at the sample DB and I might be able to make this work (in a convoluted sort of way). The only problem is, I can't seem to find where the code is that makes this work. What am I missing? Rick

    Thanks for the reply- I have attached a pdf file showing what the "report" looks like now and what I want it to look like when it is properly formatted. I've not included a copy of the datbase because it is close to 50 GB. If you can make sense out of all this, some advice would be very much...

    Thanks for the info- that looks like it makes more sense than what I was trying to do. Since I posted my first question, another issue has arisen. I placed an unbound combo box on my form so I can look up a specific word in the database. It works OK, but what I would like to do is have it...
