256 color problem

[Guest]

My database is running on Terminal Server (using 256 colors).

I need to change the form colors to use solid colors only from the 256 color
palette.

I know how to change the colors, I need to know what colors numbers will
produce solid colors in 256 color mode.

thanks in Advance

My recommendation would be to set your display for 256 colors, open the form
in design mode and go to the back color property, then click the ... button
to open the color picker window. You should then be able to see the colors
that look ok in 256 color mode. Once you pick one of those, the number for
that color will be entered in the property box and you can use it for the
rest of the forms.

Nice idea, but I'm using a flat screen and my laptoo video doesn't support 256.

I don't want to just fumble about trying to find a solid color. I need to
know what the valuies are. I need to use quite a few different colors, so it
would be useful to see all 256 colors in the Palette and then choose from
them. When creating colors using the Custom color builder I don't think
there are 256 solid colors in there.
