I posted a two questions yesterday concerning the colours of buttons on a
control tab and command buttons and had various useful suggestions as to
what I might do. However I think my problem is more fundamental. I have
designed a number of forms for my database which will be used by a number of
users. I have taken time to ensure the forms look aesthetically good, as
well as functional, with the use of coloured backgrounds. I now realise
though that the colour of tabcontrol buttons, command buttons and scroll
bars (and there may be other things) are dependent upon the colour scheme
that the user has on their machine. For example my forms which are
predominantly grey looked great in the classic windows style or XP silver
but if I switch to XP default which is blue all the aforementioned items are
beige which completely destroys the look of the forms. Is there any way to
force a particular style, say Windows Classic, when the data base opens?
I know I could use any of the suggestions that have been mentioned but this
would involve redesigning some 30 forms and 10 subforms and wouldn't I don't
think solve the scroll bar issue.
Thanks
