[AccessD] Backcolor Problem

[Paul Hartland]

This one threw me a little, I may be reading it wrong, the last bit says
you want to change the backcolor of a continuous form but the piece above
it says you changed it from a datasheet to a continuous and it worked and
you don't want to change everything to continuous.  So I am assuming that
you have datasheets and you want the backcolor changed, does it not work
when changing the property DataSheetBackColor.
