Myi forms need to look better...

[David L. Kistner]

We use several forms in our Access application. The forms we now use
are functional, but I wish they looked more professional. I've tried
and tried to make them look better, but I have to admit they just don't
look very professional. Are there any 3rd party software packages that
would help me design better looking input forms? Thanks in advance for
your help.

You can make those forms quite well look how you want.

I guess much of this is a "taste" thing..and to what some think looks
good...others think they look horrible.

I don't have any real tips..but you can spend some taking a look at some of
my screens here..and you will get some ideas:

I usually just look at some nice commercial programs..and then try to
"emulate" their look and feel. Often, this also makes software easier to
use...
