Hi
I have access 2007 database with tabbed forms. On my pc the forms appear pale/white background, the back stlye is set to normal.

When I open the database on a different pc, the back stlye is normal but it appears as dark grey. I have the same problem with command buttons - completing changing the look and feel of the forms

Both PCs have full install of Access 2007, and when I compare Access Options of current database, they both have the same settings. Also note both have "use windows themed controls on forms" enabled.

What is causing the difference in the color of my forms. Both PCs have display properties with color setting at Highest (32bit)

Any help appreciated
:confused:
 
some PC's have colour profiles, usually these can be changed within the Advanced Display settings>Colour Management
 
Using Windows Themed controls and then using the System colors will cause this. You would need to set your colors instead of relying on the system ones. I don't have a copy of Access 2007 to look at now, but in the color drop downs you will see some descriptions which show system type settings. You can move to the basic colors or your own color in that drop down.

And I would NOT mess with anyone else's profile. People get touchy with that.
