Form Background from a Picture

[Guest]

Dear Access People,

I am not sure if the Forms Coding is the right group in Access to ask this,
but here goes. I have some forms where the background is a certain color. I
would like to use a picture or something for the background instead of a
color so that the entire form background is that picture and the form buttons
are visible on top of the picture. How can this be done? Thanks in advance.

Set the Form's Picture Property to whatever picture you wish.
You may also have to set the Picture Tiling, Picture Type, and Picture
Alignment properties as well. All of these properties are on the Form
properties Format tab.
