Look on the property sheet for the form's Detail section (and its Form
Header and Form Footer sections, if you use them), not the form itself.

I've had the same problem. When I created one of my forms (which is now a
sub form), I used the Form Wizard and applied a theme to the form. I
decided to design the balance of the database without the theme and now I'm
having trouble deleting the background on the sub form - it's retaining the
original theme for backgrounds, fonts, etc.

I'm beginning to think I'm going to have to delete the form and re-create
it without the theme.

Your question has been answered several times already. have you been
reading the newsgroup? you don't change the "form's" background, you change
the individual sections such as the headers and details sections.
