Creating a more professional looking form.

[Guest]

At the top of each form in my application I have a label and a caption with
the name of each form. In this section of the form's background color I would
like to use a gradient and not just a solid color. I would like the color to
go form darker to lighter from top left to bottom right. Is it possible to do
this?

Joe,
I can't speak for 2007, but in all other versions... not through Access itself.
Create a graphic image using a graphics editing program, and place it on your form.
You could just do a gradient background graphic, and place the caption on top of that.

Stephan has a cool gradient fill for a form...

You can find it here:

The results of this fill are vary nice.....

However, I dont' know if you use it to "just" fill the forms heading.....

I use Stephans fill, and here is a screen shot that shows the results:
