Loop through objects changing background color of certain kinds ofobjects

[BrianDP]

I think that sums it up. If someone can help me, TIA.

Just to clarify- I have several forms- and I want to run a program
that will look at each one, and on each form, if the type of object is
a Header, Form, Footer, or Label, change it's background to a given
color.

Something like For each object in objects...? The syntax excapes me
at the moment.

Is something like this what you're looking for?
Dim frm As AccessObject 'Temporary form
Dim fSuccess As Boolean 'Have we been successful?
'Initialize
fSuccess = True
For Each frm In CurrentProject.AllForms
fSuccess = fSuccess And FormSetBackgroundColor(frmName:=frm.Name)
Next frm

In FormSetBackgroundColor() you can loop through the Controls collection to
find labels. I don't think there is a Sections collection, but there are
indexes for each standard section type (Form Header, Page Header, Detail,
etc.).

In you can dimension frm as Access.Form:
Dim frm As Access.Form 'Form we're processing
'Open the form in design mode so we can access control properties
DoCmd.OpenForm FormName:=frmName, View:=acDesign
Set frm = Forms(frmName)
