I've just had a disturbing experience!
I have spent today building a new database. Nothing special there. I've built many so I know what I am doing. A few minutes ago I was creating a new form and everything was going swimmingly. Then I had to close the new database and open another database to research a piece of data.
When I re-opened the new database again all the forms I had created had changed their background colors to a vivid orange. When I closed the database earlier they were all green! The fonts and their colors were not affected, only the background colors in all sections of all forms.
I am using Access 2016 32 bit. All databases are .accdb versions
Never seen anything like this in thirty years of using Access.
One other problem that may have some bearing is that I have never been able to utilise Themes in this version of Access. Previous versions have been OK. So all the forms were formatted individually using Properties.
I would appreciate any opinions on what may have happened.
Thanks
