font question microsoft access

Question

I have a field that will use say calibri but that same may need dimensional fonts from a font we have called cybermetricsgdt. I would like to have a check off on my form which will dictate what font it will use on the report for that particular record. I got it to change on the form from different fonts didnt how to do it on the report.

Answer 1

its random. Sometime the we have a print call-out (GD&T) and other times it may be a note from the drawing which says Note 5: Visual Inspection at 10X no cracks. The problem is on the report if I just keep the font as cybermetricsgdt then when its just word it looks terrible. If I do the opposite it shows just squares. I wanted to see if the report can change to either font based on if the checkbox if checked. Hope that makes sense.

Answer 2

I wasn't very clear, was I?

I was interested in the reason because that could be possibly used to automatically trigger the font change if it is reliably available.

What tells the guy, or what signals to him or her, "Check the font change"? Is it the presence of a specific word or phrase like "geometry blue print call outs"? Or is there a different way to know which font is appropriate? If it's random, then I can see the need for the check box, of course, but then how would the user know to check it?

Answer 3

Basically the guy would check a box which would trigger the different fonts for that record.

The reason for this is that cybermetricsgdt is its own font just for dimensional tolerances (geometry blue print call outs). But there are times when you just say in the same field visual inspection. The problem is cybermetrics gdt displays it poorly if its just words.

Answer 4

Out of curiosity, why does the font choice occur? What triggers the change? Is it related to specific content?

Given that reports can show multiple records in the detail section, would this font change be applied to the entire detail section, or to each record, one and a time, in the detail section?

You want a "check off" on form to dictate which font to use. How does the user decide they want to make the font change?Is there a criteria that they user?

Dear respected John Benander,

Good day! Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community. We are happy to help you.

As per your description, I think you may open your form in Design View and add a checkbox control to your form.

Besides, I would like to invite community members and MVPs in the forum to share their knowledge and insight on this topic.

Appreciate your patience and understanding and thank you for your time and cooperation.

Sincerely,

Waqas Muhammad
