When opening a table, the back ground colour is dark grey
(I dont mean within the confines of the table, i mean
around it). how do i change it to someother color

I'm pretty sure you can't change the color of the Access background. If you
can, I'd think it would be one of the Windows color settings.

It's a Windows setting.
Click on the desktop.
Select Properties + Appearance + Advanced + Item
Select Application Background in the Item dropdown.

The above will affect all applications.

Use a Form for viewing or editing data. You can set the appearance of
the form however you like.

Table datasheets are of VERY limited utility for anything beyond
debugging and basic design.

That said... check out Tools... Options... Datasheet.
