Shading/color in printing/reports

[Sarab]

Hi, I am not a very sophisticated user but I'm the best we have at the small
company I work for. I am developing an info database in Access 2003 that will
need to be updated frequently. Users will print hardcopies for reference
whenever the DB is updated.

The reports are printing with shading in the background. I have been able to
change the actual user fields properties so they are now white, but can not
change the report background itself. (It is blue when I look at it onscreen,
too). I have tried to change the BackColor properties for each section and
nothing changes. The "Help" instructions suggest I should also change
ForeColor properties but I do not see that option when I look at the section
properties.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The color may be a colored picture in the report's Picture property.
Delete the picture. It will prompt to confirm the deletion. Click Yes.
The picture property should now read (None).
Next set the BackColor property of EACH report section (Header,
Detail, Footer) to what ever color you wish (White?).

I've already tried setting each of the sections to white. I do have a picture
(company logo) inserted in the Report Header next to the Report Name, but
when I look at the Report properties it says Picture (none) like you
suggested.

Any other ideas? I'm wondering if it might be related to the fact that that
part of the report is the same color blue as my Windows desktop settings?
(For instance it's the same color as my 3-D objects).
