The users of the database need to know which staff are Restricted and be able
to enter names of nonrestricted staff.
The field in the main table is called Filled By and attached as a lookup is
tblRestrictedStaff and a Form created. I need the tblRestrictedStaff
information to display in the Form in a different colour when the users try
to input any name on the list as these staff cannot be utilized. I have tried
to change the colour of the tblRestrictedStaff through Format [Red], did not
work; through Format Font, does not transfer to Form;created a query in red,
again colour did not tranfer to Form; changed Form colour to red hoping that
the lookup list would stay black; did not work.
Can the colour be changed in the Form?
If not, my next solution would be to create a error message that if the user
tries to enter a name in the field from the tblRestricedStaff an error
message will appear. Unfortunately, I do not have a great deal of experience
creating code and may require assistance.
Thank you for any assistance that you can provide.
