Changing Acces's Background Color

[Tru]

During the startup of Access I would like to automatically change Accesss'
Application background to Gray without having to go to Display in Control
Panel and changing the appearance there. Is there anyway I can do this
during the startup of Access

I'm confused. On my computer the application background is gray.

However, you shouldn't be changing user's settings anyway.

Response to Joan
The user can change the background of any Windows Application background by
going into Control Panel Click on Display>Appearance>Advanced>Application
Background. I would like the Gray background because it helps enhances my
application overall appearance and any other background color would appear
distracting to the user.

I understand that.

My point is that is up to the *user* - it's their choice. They might choose
some scheme that they want and your gray background could be distracting.

LeBans example only changes the MDI window background in Access, so, it
isn't a global change...just for your app and just that instance of Access.
The example also shows how to load a background image. His code could use
some cleaning up, but it is pretty slick really.
