Form Background Colour

Julian Dyer

6 years ago

I have two business models. A production unit and a retail unit. The retail unit just sells goods and production is an assembly site. The assembly site has a pink, grey and purple theme form colour. I want the retail unit to have a Yellow, white and green theme. Is there a way to change all the forms to correspond with the retail unit colour scheme. Its easier to for me to realise which system I am in by the screen form colours as at present I am messing up slightly by both systems being pink grey and purple.

is there a master net way of changing the colours or do I do each form individually?

Is this all in the same database?

The are both identical databases, but run on two separate computer systems networks, hence my confusion when I work on both systems for data entry. I find I put data into the wrong system if I work on the PC, get called out the office and when I come back Ive lost my thoughts and think Im working on the correct system. I want the pink scheme to be trade, and green scheme to indicate retail. I import the retail orders into the trade system to prevent retail from doing damage (as in accessing other shop accounts) to the trade system.

Well, all you have to do in that case is just change the color of the forms you want manually. Sounds like it's a one-time job. You can use color schemes (Themes) if you want to, although I personally don't like them. I cover them in Access Beginner Level 2.
