Form background

[mihabaki]

HI

How can I use/set an image (picture) as a background in a form? I can't seem to find this option...

thank you

regards, Miha

You can do this thru inserting the pic in your form with : Insert > Object > create from file ... etc.
However, I would recommend to do this as follows :
Open a word doc and copy the pic ( *.jpg) into that doc.
Open your form in design mode and copy the pic in the form et voila...

thanks for the reply, but I can't put the picture into background - it is covering my input fields...

Yes you can.
Go the the form design mode, click on your pic and go to >
format > send to back.

You can set it as a form background, rather than just an object on the form, by opening up form control (double click the little square in the top left corner of the form), under the Format tab is the 19th (on my machine) field down called "Picture" where you can browse to find a pic. You can then tile or center it depending on the settings in that very same Format tab (Picture Tiling=yes/no, etc).
