different form background color on one computer to another??

[jenn]

Does anyone know/how my forms' background colors are
different from one computer to another? The computers that
are showing the correct color are both XP and Access 2002
(one is a laptop and one is a desktop)... but then someone
else.. on a laptop (with XP and access 2002).. the forms'
background colors are not good (purple)... vs. blue on my
laptop and the desktop. Thanks!

Did you use a "system color" value? That will change with the appearance
settiings in Windows. These are (always I think) negative numbers when
looked at tin the property sheet.

no.. i didn't use a system color.. i set the backcolor in properties
(selected one from the palette).. and is not a negative #.. and strangely
enough i tested on another pc.. after my 1st post and that color is wrong too
(again purple).. so 2 computers right and 2 wrong.. any other ideas? thanks!
