Where does MS have images like those on downloaded templates?

[M Skabialka]

An Access 2007 database I downloaded from MS has forms where the background
is a picture called office.png. Where can I get a copy of that image to
place on other forms - I was unable to find it at Microsoft looking under
clip art. There are also tiny images for "Collect Data", "EMail list", "New
Project", "Employees" etc. Where can I get these? And yes I realize that I
can copy a form then change everything on it, or copy the button with the
icon on. I would like a library of these that I can choose from for my
database designs- it must be at MS somewhere.

Skabialka,
An easier method, and a handy utility to have, is one of many freeware
graphics "capture" programs.
I use MWSnap, but there should many available through SnapFiles, or
Download.com.
Most have a "capture a user defined area" where you can "lasso" a
graphic, and extract and save it to a file.

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

You can do the same thing to forms with command button pictures.
