Default Disabling Themes

Hi

I have an ACC2003 db and have notice display issues for users of ACC2007 due
to themes.

I have in my code at start up:

Application.SetOption "Themed Form Controls", False

But this does not seem to resolve the issue. However, if the user sets their
theme to Classic all is OK.
Is the above code correct or is it different in ACC2007?

Thanks

That looks right, Darren.

Does it work if you restart Access after setting this?

Hi, Allen long time no speak.

Apologies for the delay, just checked on the users machine and it still does
not work.

The routine that the code resides in definitely runs but it does not seem to
stop the XP theme taking effect in Acc2007 even after a restarting access.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Just in case I have the cause of the problem incorrect, the main offending
symptom is that tab controls, with the Back Style set to normal, seem to show
as having a transparent background.

..........However, this only seems to be an issue with Acc2007 with themes.

Hi Darren

I'm currently not able to follow up on that for the next week or two.

Sorry: perhaps someone else can follow up on this for you.
(Or post a new thread if they don't.)
