Hi,
This may sound a little unusual but I am putting together a report where journal entries for the week are displayed and I want to make it look a bit like an actual journal or diary.
Is it possible to make the background of a report look like paper? I mean parchment or the kind of paper you would see in an ancient book, like a 500 year old bible.
Can Access do this or can I use an image as the background for a report?
Thanks very much
Dave

Yes, open the report in design view, show the properties for the form, and the set the Picture property to your image.

Hopefully your clients won't want to print it. Or if they do, they have a color printer and a large budget for ink.
