How do I change the background color on a form??? Its probably something
simple, but I can't find a place to set this???

.
on form design properties format backcolor

 

[Nick Noone]

Open the form in design view... right click and go
to "FILL/BACK COLOR"... select your option from here

Thanks Nick.. that works (I think) but I've got this awful plaid background
to the thing thats prohibiting me from seeing the background color.. almost
as if its a theme background image of some kind.. and I don't see any
options to remove it!
Thoughts?

You can remove that by going to the Form's Picture property and deleting the
bitmap.

hth,

Hey, try right clicking your form in design mode and make
sure "Grid" is not selected.

let me know if this doesn't work!

(e-mail address removed)... email me directly if you
like.

have a great day!
