How do I get the Bar to the left side of form to go away?

[Guest]

There is a bar that appears on all my forms to the left of the data entry
area with a pointer to the right.

It is never the color of the background grid or form. How do I get that to
turn off, or at least change the color to that of my form...

Set the form's RecordSelector property to No.

It's on the Format tab of the Properties box, when looking at the properties
of the form.

There are a couple of uses for this thing though:
- Its icon becomes a pencil when you start editing a record, until your
edits are saved.
- You can click it and press Del to delete record.

Is there a way to get it to match the color of the form? I see the use, I did
not understand that function. But I have for example a light blue form and
the bar is brown, it apperars that the form is not in sync, for apperance
reasons...

I don't believe you can set the color of the RecordSelector in Access.

AFAIK, it's color is defined by the Windows color scheme.
