How do I change the default font in access 2002?

[Guest]

I want Verdana 10 point to be my default font in Access 2002. I can change
the default font in other Office applications, but I cannot find it in
Access. Thanks

Tools/Options/Datasheet.

Note that if you want to change the defaults for reports, forms, etc, then
you have to create a new template. while in design view for a form (or
report), click Format/AutoFormat... then select Customize to modify the
format for the current object. If you modify the "Standard" template, that
will be used by default.

That would only work for that particular database. What I want is when I
launch up the program, each and every keystroke is Verdana 10 point from the
get-go. It is the DEFAULT font of the program.

I don't think that is the answer that I am looking for. Using Excell as an
example, if yo go to Format>Style> and then go to font --- I set this to
Verdana 10 --- and no matter what I do in Excell, it is formatted in Verdana
10 point font. I did the same thing with Word.
If it is true I have to create a new template, how then do I do that? And
these templates must extend to all the obects in Access - not just reports
and forms. The whole program - everytime - with everything.

I don't think Access works that way.

That is kind of like saying I want a default for Windows. Well, do you want
the default for the active window title bar? The inactive window title bar?
Etc.

Access is a bit more complex than Word or Excel. You don't just have text
that you are entering. You are creating objects that have multiple types of
controls.

Yes, but ultimetly --- Access still presents it data as text with defined
fonts. And since this program is so advanced, refined, and granular, I see no
reason why specifying a default font is impossible. I'll post it when I find
out. Thanks for your help anyway.

Good luck.
