We’re running an MS Access application in Windows 2000 on a machine that’s limited to 256 colors. (It's a Windows 2000-based Citrix MF1.8 server and is limited to 256 colors without purchasing an upgrade.) When Windows is set to 256 colors, Access seems able to display only about 40 colors. A graphic that looks ok displayed in, say, MS Photo Editor, looks terrible when displayed in Access.

The Access Help text suggests that I can change the "Palette Source" in my form in order to support more colors, but I can’t figure out how to make this work. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks!
