<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>....OK - I see that if you set the a
form object's object color using the RGB function then it works, but is that the
only way?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I am using the RGB values on the
site Bob (very kindly) posted to give me a number which I can use for an
Access form object (or form back colour). eg. <FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff>RGB(255,153,0) gives me the no. 39423. But if use that no. as
the form back colour, I still don't get a clear colour (Same with several I
have tried). </FONT></FONT></DIV>

Re: [AccessD] Form custom back colours<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Sounds like good advice. But
what *are* those 256 Windows colors in terms of Access? The Access grid
offers a 6 x 8 grid of basic colours, giving a total of 48. Anything else
created within that window is a 'custom' colour and in my experience, will
not display clearly while the Windows setting remains at 256 colours. Why
is that? And what do you other developers do with your form colour?
