Autoformat patterns

[sbickley]

Does anyone know of additional patterns that can be downloaded for MS Access
2003 instead of using the standard Autoformat patterns (ricepaper,
industrial, etc.)? I'm looking to build a more professional look to my
forms, etc. Any help is appreciated.

Find any suitable .bmp or .jpg image and make it the form's Picture
property. Or If you want some random design, create it using MSPaint.
Save it as a .bmp or .jpg file and use that.
I have a great shot of Saturn that I use as the picture on my
astronomical Db form.

Thanks for the help. How can I also format a "tab control" that is grey in
color and clashes with my new background? Is that possible?

I don't believe you can with Access as shipped, however take a look at
