ACCESS: Change autoformat colour

[ryankeast]

Hi There,

I am using Access 2003 in creating myself an access database.

I have applied the "blends" autoformat to the form however I am having trouble finding out how to change the colour of the blue down the side of the form.

Any ideas on how I can achieve this?

Thanks

First, post Access questions in one of the six or so Access forums to get more responses.
Blends is a .gif
The following is for Access 2000, but you can look around to find the file for 2003.
Goto Design view of your form, select your form. Bring up the Property sheet and click the All tab. Scroll down to Picture. Click in the box next to it and click the button with the three dots. Browse to:
C:\Program File\Microsoft Office\Office\Bitmaps\Styles
You will see ACBLENDS.GIF this is Blends.

You can the use some paint program to change the colors.
Or create your own. Save it to the above directory. Then on your form, change the following: (this is for .gif's)
Picture to the path of the new file
Picture Size Mode to CLIP
Picture Alignment to TOP LEFT
Picture Type to EMBEDDED
Picture Tiling to YES
