Default Change background of a form?

Using the wizard to start me off on a form, I accidently picked the wrong
"style". I just want standard - plain vanilla.
Can I change it or export the layout & fields to another form that matches
the other data entry forms in my database?

Thanks for your time!

Open the form in Design View.
On the Form's property sheet, click on Format.
Find the Picture property.
Highlight and delete whatever picture is there. You will be asked if
you really want to delete the picture. Click Yes (or OK, I don't
remember which).
When done, the picture property should read (none).
Then set the back color of each form section (the Detail and Headers)
to whatever color you wish. If you don't have a particular color, try
-2147483633.
That should be all you need do.
