    Conditional formatting based on the values in another table

    Yes, a calendar view is much better. The only problem is how to incorporate such complexity as in my rota in one form. I think I though about Union query and tried to build it at the beginning but I failed and instead someone on this forum advised and helped me to use concatenate function to...

    Conditional formatting based on the values in another table

    Thanks a lot Bib Fitz. The messaging system works. The only thing is it shows a message when it should not. I understand you coded that a message displays when a consultant is allocated some activities on another day. Actually I meant that there was no overlap of Activities with MDTs or PMs on...

    Conditional formatting based on the values in another table

    Many thanks MajP. It works! Now I will write similar functions to use it when I allocate MDTs and PMs.

    Conditional formatting based on the values in another table

    Actually Activities, MDTs, PMs are quite similar in hierarchy. First I usually allocate MDTs, then PMs, then Activities. But later I can edit records of any of them and I wanted to be prompted if there is an overlap.

    Conditional formatting based on the values in another table

    You are absolutely right. It's too complex for me. I will read about DLookup () and Count(). I'd very much appreciate if you show me how to do this in one form so that I can do it in the others.

    Conditional formatting based on the values in another table

    But the thing the data is in different tables. For example, I allocated 1 Cutup to TM on 28/12. And made sure she is not allocated anything else on that day. But later, I had to swap MDTs (data stored in different table) so that TM got Gynae MDT. I don't want it and it happened only because I...

    Conditional formatting based on the values in another table

    Because I don't want access to prevent validation. There will be situations when we are short of staff and I will need to allocate two activities on the same day. I just want this is highlighted and then make my own decision keep it or change it. For the same reason unique indexes will not help me.

    Conditional formatting based on the values in another table

    Hello I would appreciate any advice. I have a form showing dates and within it several subforms showing data from other child tables all related by dates. When I write a rota, I am struggling with errors like I allocate someone for an activity when they are already are allocated to another...

    Error message out of the blue

    I think this may be the problem. I actually added one consultant and may be after that the problem arose. But then I tried multiple things. I even deleted all data for the last several days. But it didn’t help. One think is clear - it is concatrelated function which causes the problem.

    Error message out of the blue

    I solved the problem for now. I realised (too slowly of course) that on my google drive there should be many previous versions in trash. So I took one two weeks ago version and manually added all data for those two weeks table to table. Now everything works. But still to me it's a mystery what...

    Thank you very much The_Doc_Man. I’ll keep trying to do something although it seems very complicated. I am just puzzled why it happened. It worked fine for many months. I didn’t make any changes, only added data. And all of a sudden the glitch started. I am frustrated about how unstable ms...

    How do I put a breakpoint? I am not very sophisticated In this. I constructed this db year ago and since then Becaus€ everything worked fine and didn’t require tuning I forgot most of the plot.

    Error message out of the blue

    What is interesting, when I switch to design view and then back to form view this message is gone. But after I close the form and open it, it's back again.
