I want to format the background of my forms but I don't like the standard
ones in the program. I would like to apply a solid color of my chioce. How
do I do this? Thank you, Candice

Two ways.
1) Create a one color of your choice "picture" using MSPaint or any
other similar program.
Save the picture as a .bmp file

Open the Form in design view. Set the form's Picture property to this
..bmp file. Set the Picture size to stretch.

2) Or.. right-click in one section of the form (in design view).
Select Properties.
Click on the BackColor property. Click on the button with the 3 dots
that will appear. Select one of the Custom Color boxes at the bottom
of the color palette. Click on Define Custom Colors. Create your own
color. Save it. Set the Form section backcolor to that color. Set each
of the other form sections backcolor to that color.
