    Database Customizing - Current Jobs List

    We have a database at my job and we would like to customize it to provide us with a "current" list of jobs we have in house. We want to be able to show this on a wall mounted monitor.
    It would need to pull the following info from the database to display on the monitor:



    Project Number
    Project Name
    Client Number
    Employee (Employee handling the project)
    Start Date
    Status (in Progress, On Hold, etc.)
    If job is on hold will need a field that can display reason for job on hold
    Color Coordinated (Green for 0-7 Days, Yellow for 8-14 Days and Red for 15+ Days

    I have attached a pdf of what it could look like.

    Is this possible to do?

    Thank You

    It could be done very easily with a db with the screen for your info the monitor would be linked to a pc just use the timer event to update the screen with current data.

    I could see a number of ways of doing it.

    Welcome to the forum....


    Sure, it is possible if the data is in the dB. Hard to be more specific without seeing the dB or knowing the design/structure of the tables.
    You do have the dB split... right?

    Create a query with the required data, create a form using the query and use conditional formatting for the status colors.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
