I want to have an image in the background of my Access 2000 application instead of the default grey.
To achieve this I have setup a form, used the picture property (specifying the image I want), then setting the form to have no border, no scrollbar, no record selectors, etc.
The part that annoys me is that, even though I have specified that the form should be Xcm wide and Ycm deep, the actual size at runtime seems to be decided NOT by these settings, but by the height and width of the window inside which you design the form. If I extend this out to the right, WAY beyond the edge of the actual form area and click the save button. Sure enough at runtime the form is that same ridiculous width, seemingly ignoring it's property settings.
Can anyone advise, or make a suggestion of better way to achieve this idea of a background image?
Thanks.
