Changing default font in Access 2010

[LjushaMisha]

Maybe funny question, maybe already answered:

I'm tired of constantly changing fonts in every new table, every new query,
every new control in form, …

I can't find nothing similar as settings in excell or Word.
In Options I've found allowed changes (size, weight, italic …)
I'm not looking for that:

I WANT PERMANENTLY TO USE CONSOLAS NOT CALIBRY ---> WHATEVER I START (new database, new table, new query, …)

ANY HELP ?
Best regards

Hi. Are you saying this didn't work for you?

 

[LjushaMisha]

Yes, worked BUT ONLY FOR FONTS IN QUERY DESIGN. Output of this query is still Calibri, as new table is, as all objects in design new form are.
I'm looking for some kind of "OVERALL" setting of default font, lets say, for Access

Hmm, not sure there is one, but it would be nice to know, I guess.

This is one of the purposes of Access themes (A2010 onwards).
There are several built in themes with the default set to Calibri.
Modify the theme settings to suit your requirements and save.
If you want, create your own theme and make it the default for all databases.

i STRUGGLED SOME TIME TO FIND WHERE "MYTHEME" IS SAVED. At the end I succed and now it Works. Without your help I'd be looking for the solution another 10 years.
THANKS THANKS
thread solved

The default theme is saved in a system table but you shouldn't touch that.
Did you mean where to find Themes on the ribbon? (design Tab)
Or possibly how to save as default? (right click context menu for an individual theme)

Anyway glad I could help. I've marked the thread solved.

No, I have only followed your instructions
- opened form in design view
- Customised theme
- saved "myTheme" (here where the problem was, could't find out where "myTheme"
was autosaved ---> i had some maps hidden in my Explorer)

NEXT
File --> Options --> Client settings --> Default Theme (last option) --> Browse --> "MyTheme" --> OK. Close, Open Access and IT WORKS ---> Consolas all arround

Thanka again
