[AccessD] Fisher Find & Replace

Thanks for the quick response.

The changes are only to form header and detail colors.  I suppose I could
write code to do this but I hoped it would already be within Rick's tool.

Otherwise it may be quicker just to make the changes manually to each form
(about 100).

Regards

David

Hi David. I don't know about that program's capabilities but would you not
be able to do this somewhat simply with VBA?..

With a form open, identify all controls in that Section, check that TypeName
= "Textbox", and set the background color and / or however that theme
manifests, to whatever value(s) look right in a control you have manually
set. The parent hierarchy is

Docmd.open acform, theformname, acDesigh (I think.... can't test from where
I am now)

This is air code and I might not have the correct index for header section.

For each ctrl in Screen.ActiveForm.sections (0).controls
     With curl
...

      End with
Next


At least this is how I would go about trying to do it anyway. Shame there is
no Macro recorder in Access!
