Formatting question in form header

[BrookieOU]

OK, this is probably are really easy question with a really easy fix, but I
have been trying for 3 hours now and cannot get it. I downloaded the Time
and Billing database to import some of the features into my database to use.
I have done that and everything works great. My problem is simple
formatting. I would like to make the form headers on all my forms consistent
with the "Project List" in the Time and Billing database. I have copied
every single attribute in the format section of the properties to no avail.
There seems to be some sort of gradient background over the top of the
regular background and I can't get the lighter part like where the buttons
are.

I know this is a stupid, anal retentive question....but can some please help
me before it drives me insane!!!!!!!!!

Thanks,
Brooke

I am using Access 2007 and downloaded the Time and Billing Template from the
Office website.

Thanks,
Brooke

P.S. The Tremors franchise is great!

Brooke,

Okay hold on going to get that one because I don't have it to see what you
are talking about to tell you what to fix.

Brooke,

Click on the Form Header bar and check the Properties there... See if that
gives you what you want.

That's not it either. I compare the properties between the forms and they
are exactly the same. This is killing me!!!! To see what I'm talking about
create a blank form and apply the same formatting on the form header as the
"Project List" form. The back color is set to "Background Light Header" on
both of them. But then you can tell some sort of gradient something is over
the top of the project list header and also they did something to get the
lighter bar that has the buttons on it. I am going insane!!!!!!

Don't go crazy... I'm going to take a look at it!

It is the office.png background that is creating that look. I can find it
if I use the the wizard but if you do a search onyour machine you can
probably locate where it is.

I would ignore Gina, her answer is to use Jet, no matter how
applicable.

I'd just move to SQL Server
