Using the same format on all Forms

[dplove]

I have created a Form from a table. The form is formatted the way I would
like. I have several other tables that I would like to change to Forms but I
would like to use the same format from the 1st Form without having to
manually format it. Is there a way to use this format for all of the Forms I
create?

Thanks

See:
Default forms, reports and databases
at:

The article explains how to set this form as the Normal form (in A2007 or in
earlier versions), plus a few other tricks.

After looking @ the site its not what I was thinking about.

I only want this particular database to use the same Format for the forms.
I have about 4 more tables that I want to use the same format. Is there
another way?

Thanks

Perhaps you missed the start of the article:

Access provides a way to set up a form and a report, and nominate them as
the template for new forms and reports:

* in Access 1 - 2003: Tools | Options | Forms/Reports,
* in Access 2007: Office Button | Access Options | Object Designers.

That's useful, as it lets you create forms and reports quickly to your own
style.

However, these forms/reports do not inherit all properties and code. You
will get a better result if you ...
