Placing an image in teh Access Window 1

[Wantabie]

Is there a way, one can put an image in the background area of MsAccess?

Instead of the background being grayed out. I would like to place an image there.
However, i am not that versed in Access to accomplish this.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

In your Form settings there is a Picture property. Just change it to a picture that you want the background to be.

Works well with the form background. How about the Access Window background?

um.. now why do you want to change that? I have no idea how to change that one.

Wantabie,

I've never tried this, but I'm going to later tonight. What if you make a startup form that is maximized. Set the form picture to whatever you want. Leave this form open all of the time, with no code or anything. Then open the actual forms that you'll be using on top of this one. If the startup one is maximized, and the others are smaller, and centered, it might be a good looking effect.

Let me know if this will work for you.

Have already got this accommplished. I use the startup form as a background picture, but also, run code in it's module for maintenance reasons. I was just wondering if one can place a picture in the Access windoow itself.

Let me run this question by you guys.
Is it possible to create a form, such as this one, where it will automatically, size itself to the Desktop resolution, but not loose any of its pixels or deform itself?

The code is something to behold.
