Setting background for subforms

J

joelamartin

I have two subforms within a form. All three have basic backgrounds.
The first subform I created used the same background as the main form,
the default blue fading to white. The second subform decided to use the
rock background, and I can't seem to change this to match the other
one. All it says in the "Picture" property is "(bitmap)". Any way to
get to the right bitmap to match the other?

Make a copy of your form first.

If you delete the picture property (click on that property and press
delete. Answer OK when prompted) the form will display whatever
BackColors you have in the Form Header/Footer and Detail sections.

If that is not what you want, then click again on the Picture property
and browse to

c:\Program Files + Microsoft Office + Office10 + Bitmaps + Styles

Click and display each one of the styles. Perhaps one is the one you
are looking for. I suspect it might be ACBLENDS.GIF

Note: The location of the above Styles folder may be different on your
computer.
