Forms and reports. The tables in this section provide examples of expressions that calculate a value in a control located on a form or report. To create a calculated control, you enter an expression in the ControlSource property of the control, instead of in a table field or query. From Excel 2010, there’s a way to automatically highlight upcoming and past due dates. For example, if you have expiry dates for stock in a spreadsheet, it’s possible to highlight the stock that has expired as well as the stock that will expire within 30 days. This is achievable with conditional formatting. Access' conditional formatting feature is just as comprehensive, flexible, and powerful as Excel's, but many users aren't aware it exists. Many Access users would like to highlight report.

I have a table of clearances and their expiry dates. If a clearance has expired I would like it to be red, if it expires within 6 months I want it to be amber, if it expires in more than 6 months green and if it is yet to be granted (hence doesn't yet have an expiry date) then black.

I have got the text to default as black and then have

RED

AMBER

GREEN

This seems to have a few different problems, the red works fine from what I can tell. But the other two seem to be handled poorly, for example a clearance with 06 Sep 2015 is amber (today is 03 July 2014 so this should be green). Similar for 05 Mar 2017, I think it is just looking at the month regardless of the year, but I'm not too sure how to handle this better.

Not sure if it might be easier to default as green and perhaps write something like

But this didn't seem to do anything and everything was coming up as green even when there was a blank date. Similar for single quotations.

Any suggestions appreciated..

The way you have it written this is happening (i'm substituting #06/Sept/2015# for [C_ExpiryDate] to keep with your example)

Red?

Amber?

Pmd file reader download free. Try closing all applications on your PC before attempting to open your PageMaker Document. If you've tried all of the steps above, and your PMD file still won't open, you might be due for a hardware upgrade. This is quite common if your computer hardware is older, and you are using a much newer operating system.This issue can occur when your computer is having a hard time keeping up because the operating system (and other services running in the background) might be consuming too many resources for your PMD file to open. Freeing up all of the available resources on your computer provides the best environment for attempting to open your PMD file.

The problem is that you have the greater date first and the lesser date last. Switch them.

Or alternatively, since you are checking [C_ExpiryDate]>Now() anyway you can take the absolute value of them and not worry about order.

You have no equal to 6 months condition though. Something for you to think about.
