thats perfect thank you so much your a star!

Ive worked it out and now have the perfect colour.

Hi everyone, I want to change the colour of my form to a pink, something between white and pink so its quite suttle. However the colour i am looking for isnt in the fill back colour menu. In other programs there is an advance feature for colours and opens like a colour spec and you pick the...

Thats perfect, i did yest however have a read through the whole thread and tried again which it then worked (obviously did something wrong the first time) all i am trying to do now is work out how i can have the tab names displayed in the header so it clearly states what form/tab you are looking...

No its not, where the fields are Company, Address etc the background of that, where the order status is on the right i want that to be the same with the other info.

I did that and it didnt change anything.

the general form, its the first one to open on the db, where the order status part is and blue i want the whole form like that.

As you can probably see there is a small part on the right which worked, this was the first attempt. When i then tried the general part it didn't. Thanks for your help

sorry may have been a bit hasty there, i have a tabbed form with 5 tabs, on one of those is a subform with more tabs, so a tab form inside another, that however is not the one i am trying to change. On one of my threads has my db attached it is the first form that opens that i am trying to change.

it is yes.

I have followed what Gemma-The-Husky advised but the problem still persists??

it is a tabbed form so on opening the db it opens the general tab (there are another four tabs after that) the caption is general. General is displayed only in the tab name.

i no the caption of the form but not the status bar.

all the text boxes were set to normal but the labels were all transparent which i have changes to normal, however the problem still persists, if i select the back colour i want it changes the colour but you can no longer see the fields both in design & normal view.

Sorry what do you mean click this? my fields have boxes around them in design view but my form doesnt have any rectangles, if i fill the back colour its colouring in the area behind the tabbed form not the actual form???

If that will work that would be great but i am not entirely sure what you mean.

at the moment my form is just plain white, i want to change the colour, along the toolbar is a paint pot which states fill back colour, if i select the colour i want the form changes colour but covers all the text boxes already in the form and i dont want that. I want a blue form with my fields...

I have a form and would like to change the background colour, when i select the fill back colour icon and select the colour it changes the colour but you can know longer see the text boxes. Any ideas how i work around this???

I have a db with 5 form tabs at the top. The names are General, Contact Information etc, and allthough the tabs have names the forms are quite long so when you scroll down you cannot see the tab name. What i wanted is in the form header the name of the tab to be displayed but if you just add a...
