Form templates

Hi,
I don't know if the template is a prober word for this... if so, I'm sorry.
I started to work with my database and ever since used the same 'layout' to
do my forms that the wizard suggested. No I'm kind of bored to the looks of
my forms and reports.
Is there any way to change them all at once or do I really have to go
through them manually??

Thanks

You will have to go through them one at a time but it isn't as bad as it
sounds. Fix one so you like the background and control properties and save
it. Then go to Tools/autoformat and press the customize button. Choose the
first option which is to create a new format based on the current form. You
can then apply this format to other forms to change everything all at once.
It may even be possible to apply the format with code but you'll need to
search for it. Unless you have more than 30 or so forms, it probably isn't
worth your while to find the code and implement it.
