Auto close of a form

[ajm]

Hi
We have a number of forms in our database.
Each one is opened from a Main menu form or one of a number of sub-menu forms.
However, after a while we are realising that every time we are using a form unless we specifically close it, it stays open.
How would we automatically close a form when another one opens ?

Thanks
ajm

link the buttons to macros which close the form open and then open the form you require.

Form background colour

Hi
We have created some forms using (in some cases) the form wizard.
As you may know you have to select a "Background Style" when using the wizard.
Now we want to change the background from one of these styles to a colour - but when we select it in Properties and try to apply it, it seems to flicker but does not seem to have any effect.
Can anybody help us out please ?
many thanks
ajm

I'm not sure why this isn't working for you, but I'd like to point out to you that it would be better if you created a new thread for each question you have. Somebody who may be able to answer your last question may never see it because he will assume that the thread is about the first question, and it may be something he is unable to answer, and therefore never look at the thread.

My mistake

Yep - sorry, I must have hit "Post Reply" instead of "New Thread".

In the form properties make sure you delete the Picture property.

Hope this helps?
