Print background colour (1 Viewer)

On print access is nice enough to waste lots of ink, on grey or whatever other colour your form happens to be. Anyone know how to make it print black data and labels et al on a white background instead.

I tried instructing it to print data only, however, this then misses labels and other identifiers.

Printing of forms is not a good idea use a report instead, but if you really want to then set the backround colour of your form to white and fonts to black

Here's a workaround I used once. If you like the background color of your form onscreen, but want only white for printed, do the following:

Create a box, size it to cover the entire form and set it's background color to the color you want. Set it's "display when" property to Screen Only. Then, with that box still selected, go the the Format menu and "Send to Back."

Now you have a colored background that won't display when you print.
