Been using the new Weekly Agenda for a few days now and I just
wanted to reiterate how happy I am with the results of your assistance.
Looks like it took a lot of time and effort for you to get this to work the way I would like.

Thanks again,
James

That will likely be as the date control is still there?
Remember, all Colin did was make the colour the same, so it was pretty much invisible, not remove it?

 

[JamesJoey]

Seems like alot of code for just setting the forecolor so they are invisible.

That statement tells me you have no idea as to how it was done?

 

[JamesJoey]

Actually, no I don't.

 

[isladogs]

The subquery I used in post #19 was the most important part of the solution as it allowed grouping by date. It may be worth studying that in detail.
Once that was used, a mixture of conditional formatting and hiding certain controls was used to layout the subform approximately as you had in your original subreport

I was only responding to the CF for setting the fore colour.

I'll give this a try and hopefully this will work for me. Thanks for keeping us posted. Will give updates too!

Hi Colin,
I realise that, but OP just commented on 'a lot of code for just setting the forecolor so they are invisible. ', when all it was, was a simple CF statement.
Admittedly a fair bit of work to get some sort of order to enable CF to be used. Neat though.
FWIW I tweaked your DB to have them in time order per day as well, so any new entries occupied the (what is to me) the correct position.?

You know, sometimes I wish I was still using Access for some serious purpose, just for the mental stimulant.

Good idea to sort by time as well as date....

I do still enjoy the mental stimulus of finding solutions to problems e.g. using a subquery in this case.
The advantage to me is that I can then sometimes adapt solutions for use in my own applications

 

[JamesJoey]

Sounds good.
Haven't done much in Conditional Formatting.
But this all works the way I want.

Conditional formatting works best for me in identifying financial errors in my report. It quickly highlight cells that contain values greater or lesser than a specified value.
