DB Backgournd?

[Loony22]

I would like to change the DataBase backgournd from the ugly gray ( ) , into a custom made image.
How it can be done?

I would be happy to get an answer .

Insert a LINKED image onto your form and then select it and go format - send to back. All the buttons and controls then should then be visible.
The reason for linked --
Access tends to blow out in size with embedded images, not just the size of the file.

Also if you set the back color of the detail of your form to -2147483633 it will use your windows default colors that appear in other programs on your PC etc.

Create new wallpaper from any picture in jpg format. Then open that picture with MS Visio and same it in "meta" format. That way the resulting picture will "fit" any size screen.

Thanks again for your answer. However, its not what im looking for.
Let me rephrase.

I would like that the DataBase will have a certin background. The forms within, will have its own background. If for example i opened frm1 it will have a gray background, behind the form there will be the DB background (Picture).

I hope u got my request right.

Look at my previous response, I think I advised how to do what you want. Set the form "Picture" property via the browser to the meta file created by MS Visio.

The Midi window is controlled by windows, you can change the backround colour there or with an api function. I've never seen an image used though

I understand now. The only thing I can think of is to minimize the database window and leave you're forms with a 'stand alone' look.
Do a search here. I've seen the code, API I think posted here.
