Datasheet Form Colors
Is there anyway to change the colors of the datasheet form? I know that
access has the option to change the background color of the text, the gridlines and the font color. But I want to change stuff like the background color of the column headings (I hate to see that dull gray), the little gray boxes that appear on the far left of the form, the colors of columns and maybe even the scroll bars (I know the scroll bars is a little over the top but I would not mind learning to do that if it can be done). I know that you change the cell colors with Conditional Formatting but I hate to see how it shows the default color (white) before the formatting kicks in. ..::Kay-Dija::. |

Kay,
You can create a "regular" continuous form, and make it look just like a datasheet view, but then you can control every aspect of your controls "display. (Font Color, BkGrd, etc) Also, continous forms would allow you to use "conditional formatting" of your controls/colors (2K and above I think) hth Al Camp ".::Kay-Dija::." wrote in message ...
