Changing the background format style of a form
I have created a form but now want to change the 'look' the background choice
that I made when I used the wizzard. I would rather NOT have to recreate the form since I have spent alot of time on the positioning, etc. of data elements. But want to change the style.....the wizzard gives choices but I have searched and I do not see where I can change after creating.....??? |

There is no real "undo" to this other than just going into the form and changing the properties to whatever you like. The most often question is how to get rid of the "background" picture. It is really easy. it is contained in the picture property of the form. just clear this field out and the form defaults to the color which you can then change (in each section). as for the fonts, you can just select all the controls and change the font or the color or the style etc... |

Thanks but not following. I think I chose "rice paper" as choice for
background or style....I will be entering alot of data and this is just not going to work...and I would rather have 'corporate' or whatever the choice for more contrast is......so I don't have a picture. I went into properties and there are several choices for picture...Can you elaborate on your reponse or if I clarified my question, readdress it...Thanks so much.

I thought you wanted to get rid of any theme totally. If you want to change the layout. you probably should create a new blank form using the theme of your choice, then with the original form open, just select all the controls and paste them onto the new form. the fonts might not match but then that is a simple matter to correct also. |
