Subform Colors (1 Viewer)

[robertbwainwright]

I would like to change the color of my subform to match the color of my main form. I currently display the subform in datasheet view and for the life of me can not figure out how to change the colors, or if it is possible. I have tried setting the conditional formatting to do this, but it runs slow (if you scroll down items appear white/gray and a few moments later the conditional format appears). I have two columns, a check box and a text box. I can use conditional formatting on the text box but not the check box. The colors available to me in conditional format do not match the colors I want to use either.

Thanks for your help!

i dont think you can handle a datasheet in that way. i expect it follows windows settings.

maybe there is a tools/options setting that might help.

Right click a blank area of the datasheet and click on the option 'Datasheet...' this should bring up the datasheet formatting properties.

This will allow you to change the background/foreground colours but you still only have limited choice.
