Hi John,
I'm not sure what color you are looking for, but try this:
turn on the Properties --
right-click in the detail section that doesn't have a control and choose
Properties from the shortcut menu
click on the Format tab in the property sheet
click in the BackColor property
on the right, you will see the Builder button [...]
-- click on it
click on the 'Define Custom Colors' command button
now you can pick anything you want -- just start clicking in the colored
area -- you can also put in the Red, Green, Blue values you want (if you
happen to know them)
there is a slider you can move up to make the shade lighter and down to
make it darker
Warm Regards,
