Access 2003 Using the current colours in windows

S

stephen

I have found out that if I set a controls colour in the properties palette to
0 it becomes whatever colour is used in Windows XP at the moment. A greenish
colour for the green colour scheme, a blue colour for the clue colour scheme.
I tried this with a rectangle that I also want to be the same colour as the
current scheme uses for the title bar but I don't know how to do this. I
tried other numbers like 1, 2, 3, etc but they looked just black on the
rectangle. Can anyone help me with my problem?

Open Help and search on "Color Scheme". You will find a long list of values
like
