Font color in table designer

Dino Magaletto

I was working in my access database when the font color in "table design view" suddenly went from black to very light gray. This makes it almost impossible to see. I have googled the issue, but I need help finding a solution. Please help.

Is this just in this database? If you create a new database, does the problem exist in this database? If the problem isn't in the new database you could import all the objects from the old database. You could also try the Troubleshooter

It happens in new databases and those I have created that previously did not have this problem. I have also rebooted the computer.

OK. I just discovered the problem. You have the Office Theme set to Black. Go to File--Options In the General tab you can change the setting (I have mine set to 'Use system setting') Choose the Office Theme that works best for you.

Hi, I tried changing the Office Theme with no luck. I resolved the issue by doing a complete uninstall and reinstall of Office365. Also, I am still using the black theme and it seems OK. Thanks for your help with this.
