How do I set control defaults? I thought I just had to insert a control and
format it the way I want new controls to be!?

Hmmn.  Did you remember to set the Control Defaults for that textbox on
the Normal form?  Otherwise, it won't be applied.  If you do set it, it
works in XP on my machine.

Just tested it on another machine:

1. Created a new form
2. Created a text box with a label. Set the label font color to blue and
the border style to transparent 3. Save the new form as 'Normal' 4.
Created a new form and inserted a text box -> it is not formatted as the
one on 'Normal'

(Under options, the name of the template form is 'Normal')

Since it does not work on two machines, is there anything else needed to
be turned on?

I haven't tried it with backcolor, but it certainly works for other
kinds of control properties, but only on new forms created after the
"normal" version is saved.  That's the way it has always worked.  Were
you trying to do something else?

Dear group,

recently I wanted to demonstrate the use or forms/report named 'Normal'
in Access 2K. From what I know, a developer can created these
forms/reports to defined format defaults for controls. In the Access
options one can even define the name for those format templates. The
only problem is that it does not seem to work anymore!

I thinkg it worked in A97: a form named 'Normal' containing a text box
with green back color would cause all newly created text boxes on other
forms to have the same green back color.

How does this feature work in A2K?

TIA,

Michael
