[AccessD] Backcolor Problem

[Rocky Smolin]

Dear List:

I am working with a legacy db that I have done a lot of work on over the
years. My contact there called yesterday and said they wanted to set up a
second database and change the backcolor of the forms from green to blue.
So they'd have an unmistakable clue as to which database they were in.

I ran into a problem when tried to modify the backcolor of the first form.
I changed the backcolor of the header and detail sections to blue, and
changed the backcolor of the fields to blue. But when I opened it up the
color was still green.

After looking every place I could think of where the color might be
changing (code, conditional formatting, etc.) I tried changing the format
from datasheet to continuous form and got the blue color I wanted/expected.
But there are a lot of forms and I don't want to reformat them
to continuous if I can avoid it..

There's some secret about how to set the backcolor of a continuous form
that I'm missing.

Does anyone know?
