Hello,

Some of out products are available in several (about 12) colour options,
with names such as 'skyscape' , 'cornfield' etc etc. I would like to be
able to display/choose/select the various colour options for our products on
a form, perhaps using a combo box, and showing the actual colours (as near
as possible) either in a simple box or as a colour photo. I have no idea how
to go about this and would welcome any ideas or pointers.

Thanks

hi,
You can use the RGB function to create your own colors.
unfortunately Access doesn't have a way to do this. but
excel does.
In excel goto tool>Options>Color tab> Modify button>custom
tab. here you can creat your custom colors and use the
color codes in access. for example:
RGB(186, 186, 186)= gray
RGB(255, 255, 255) = white
RGB(1, 1, 1) = black
RGB(256, 121, 107)= red(sort of)
RGB(256, 256, 90) = yellow (1 shade at least)
RGB(185, 172, 256) = blue (well close)
the RGB letters identfy the numbers. the first number is
red(r), the second is green (g) and the last is blue(b)
hence RGB()
i have use the excel custom color creator to get custom
color to use in access.
If you have custom colors to create, will it might take
some work and play with the excel custom color creator.
good luck
regards
Frank
 
The Northwind Database Sample (that comes with Access) has a table and
form that uses embedded bitmpas.
Look at the "CATEGORIES" Table and Form in the database.
