I'd like to use a particular graphic for the background to all my forms. Is there a way to do this globally or do I have to add the graphic to each form? No problem doing that - I was just wondering. Cheers
 
Barry -

If your forms already exist, then yes you would have to add it as the background for each. If you haven't yet, create a base form that you can copy and modify as you wish. I do that. In fact, I use V-Tools from Skrol29 which has a personal objects repository, so you can create a form and easily insert them into multiple databases just by using its add-on (Personal Objects).
 
Thanks Bob

I'll be moving to 2007 very soon, just doing some conversion testing at the moment and I believe I can set up a dbase template that may save some time I'll look at the software you're using too.
 
if you are used to coding, you can handle forms in a similar way to tabledefs

you have to iterate the forms collection, open in DESIGN mode, set the form background, and save the changes.

you can access loads of form properties thisway, eg i also use it to set generic help files for every form, so very useful
