form style

[Guest]

How can I change the style of an existing form in Access 2000?
I want to change from standard to sandstone.
The new form wizard prompts for the style but I cannot find the property
anywhere on the existing form.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

It's the form's Picture property.

The picture property will change the appearance of the form's background but
not the controls on the form. From what I recall, when the wizard applies a
style it also changes many of the format properties of each individual
control. I don't know of anyway to automatically apply all of those changes
to an existing form. You might want to create a second form using the wizard
and then inspect all of the properties of that form and it's controls and
then manually make those changes to your existing form.

Thanks!
That puts me on the right trail.
Where exactly are the bitmap image files?
I found themes in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Themes
but no specific images.

On my machine the bitmap files are at:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\Bitmaps\Styles

I found the bitmpas and everything worked fine.
Thank you both for your suggestions.

Open form in design view. Click on Format|AutoFormat and select the style.
