interesting vba/access question: color rectangles according to data
- by every_answer_gets_a_point
i have a datasheet that looks like this:
ID name_ 1 2 3 4
1 name1 x 0 0 0
2 name2 0 x 0 0
3 name3 0 0 x 0
4 name4 0 0 0 x
i have rectangles on a report that correspond to this datasheet.
when the report opens, i need the rectangles to be colored RED according to the data. for example where name1 and there is an x in the 1 column, i need the specific rectangle corresponding to this (name1, 1) to be colored red. here is the result that i will need:
x
x
x
x
(where x is a rectangle that is RED)
perhaps the best place to place this code would be in ON LOAD event of the report, but i am not sure exactly.
can you please suggest to me some code that would turn the specified rectangles RED according to the data?
