Access changing properties

Post by D Willett »

Hi Guys.
Frustrated ...
In form design view I set a box or label object Back Color to say #808080, when I save the database as a ACCDE Access changes the Back Color to "Backgound 1".
It is really frustrating .... there must be setting in Options I am missing, does any member know of the fix for this?

Cheers

******************* EDIT **********************

I got around this using vba:

Me!NameOfControl = RGB(&H80, &H80, &H80) in the load event of the form, it works.
But I can't understand where there are many controls on the form, even more than one box shape, that only one particular box and one particular label converted when changing to AACDE...
:scratch:
Cheers ...

Dave.
