Change color of forms caption bar

[Guest]

Is there a way to change the color of a forms caption bar without chaning the
overall look of Windows?

I have a form that I am creating for use on a classified system. I toyed
with changing the background color of the entire form to red, but this is
just too obnoxious. But I would like to change the background color of the
forms caption bar if possible.

As a work-around, I am adding a narrow rectangle to the top and bottoms of
my form, and setting its color to red.

AFAIK, Access gets it caption bar colour from Windows, so your work-around
would be the only way.

What you could do is create your own look alike captionbar.
Set your forms borderstyle to [none]. Create a formheader and fill that with
an appropriate color. Place a thin borderbox in the form header to top it off.

In such a case you do need a button to close the form because the controlbox
to close the form won't be visible..

Just a suggestion ;-)
