Default Forms Color Question

I though there was an "acounting" style color for forms. Sort of a greenish
blue - but I don't see it in Access 2007 - it seems to be more blue now? Or
am imagining things?

Default Forms Color Question

Hi John,

I'm not sure what color you are looking for, but try this:

turn on the Properties --
right-click in the detail section that doesn't have a control and choose
Properties from the shortcut menu

click on the Format tab in the property sheet

click in the BackColor property

on the right, you will see the Builder button [...]
-- click on it

click on the 'Define Custom Colors' command button

now you can pick anything you want -- just start clicking in the colored
area -- you can also put in the Red, Green, Blue values you want (if you
happen to know them)

there is a slider you can move up to make the shade lighter and down to
make it darker



Warm Regards,
