Highlighting a datetime field on an Access 2016 form when it is close to current time.
ccapital asked on
I have 6-7 fields displayed on an Access 2016 form. Each field contains a datetime value (only a time) and I would like to highlight the field that is nearest to the present time (BUT ahead of the current time). i.e. the next time to occur.
For example:
The fields are 02:00 06:00 10:00 14:00 18:00 22:00
The time is now 9:35AM and so the field which will be highlighted will be the 10:00 field. It is the next time to occur.
When the current time moves to 10:01AM then the 10:00 field would no longer be highlighted and the 14:00 one would be.
'Highlighting' will be by meaning of changing the text box's Back Color property.
