Path to Form Wizard/AutoFormat Background Pictures

P

PanamaEd

I created a database in Access 2007. It has several input, search and display
forms. Later, while experimenting with Arrange > AutoFormat, I noticed the
various header styles/pictures available (e.g.,
Apex...Equity...Module...Office, etc.) and want to apply a slight variation
of one of them for my existing forms.

The property sheet of course only states that there is an embedded picture.
It does not provide a path to the image.

I have spent several hours looking for those pictures/images in the MS
Office 12 folder on my PC without success. I have also searched the various
online forums and tried every Google combination I could think of for a clue
as to where those particular images are stored. No Luck.

Can anyone here tell me where those images are stored?

Thanks,

Here is the "Sweet, lesser known Access 2007 tip of the day."

1. Take your form (a test form is fine) and apply an AutoFormat that you
like
2. Save and close the form
3. Right-click on the form in the Navigation Pane and select Export >> XML
4. On the first page of the wizard, select a destination to drop some files
(Desktop is fine)
5. A small dialog will then appear with three check boxes
6. Select the first option (Data) and third option (Presentation) and then
click OK
7. Click the Close button on the last page of the wizard after the export is
complete
8. Navigate to where you dropped the files and among other things you'll
find a new folder called Images
9. Open that folder to claim your prize
