hi Tim,

Is there a way to set the windows desktop wallpaper/background?

Set the corresponding registry values, use GetSetting/SaveSetting:

--
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
"TileWallpaper"="0"
"Wallpaper"="C:\\WINDOWS\\planet_47_fall.bmp"
"WallpaperStyle"="0"
--

This is a newsgroup for Microsoft Access, a relational database program.
Such questions as yours are better asked in a Windows newsgroup, but you
should be able to do what you need by right-clicking the desktop and
selecting Properties.

This is an MS access question. I would like to change the windows desktop
wallpaper from code in access.

Thanks anyway for the concern.

You didn't specify Access. Even if you can change Windows settings such as
background by way of Access code, you should not mess with a user's settings
unless they specifically ask that you do so.

 

[Tim J La Fazia]

Didn't know I needed to specify. I thought it was understood that this is a
MS Access newsgroup.

In this case I am the developer and user.

Again, thanks for the concern!

It is not always understood as clearly as one might hope that this is an
Access newsgroup. Many items get posted here that belong elsewhere. Some
like yours seem to belong elsewhere (it could have been a general Windows
question that had wandered into the wrong group).
Good luck with the project.
