[AccessD] Open all forms

Bob:

I'm using conditional formatting and what I found out was that you CAN do
multiple controls but they all have to be of the same type. If you select
both text boxes and combo boxes for example, you get an obscure error.

The pale yellow from the conditional formatting is OK.  But your solution
would be more flexible.  The conditional formatting colors are a bit
limited.

In my Utility Functions module, I have two functions defined:

Function cbfGotFocus()
    Me.ActiveControl.BackColor = 8454143 End Function

Function cbfLostFocus()
    Me.ActiveControl.BackColor = vbWhite End Function 

Then, in each control, I have the Got Focus event = "=cbfGotFocus()" and the
Lost Focus event = "=cbfLostFocus()". You should be able to set these
variables too during your control looping.

This is a rather bright yellow; you'll probably want to a softer color.

Bob Gajewski

Andy:

Worked perfectly.  Now I'm going to cycle through al the controls and change
the font name.  Which I think I can do.

But I'd like to add conditional formatting to each text box so that it shows
pale yellow background when it has the focus.  Apparently you can only do
this manually one control at a time - won't do multiple selections. So that
could be tedious.

Any ideas how to do that while I've got the form open in design mode?

Hi Rocky

This might do what you're after

Dim dbs As Database
Dim Ctr As Container
Dim Doc As Document

  Set dbs = CurrentDb
  Set Ctr = dbs.Containers!Forms
  ' Enumerate through Documents collection of Forms container.
  For Each Doc In Ctr.Documents
    DoCmd.OpenForm Doc.Name, acDesign
    Forms(0).CloseButton = False
    DoCmd.Close acForm, Doc.Name
  Next Doc


Then set stuff to Nothing at the end.
