I have a program originally designed on Windows 2000 (as such using the 'Windows Classic' theme.

I, and a number of users, have now upgraded to Windows XP. If the desktop theme is set to 'Windows Classic', all runs well. But, if Windows XP is selected as the desktop theme, the different parameters of the Windows XP application window for Access means that many of my forms no longer appear as I designed them (they don't fit, data falls off the edges or bottom etc).

Can I, within my program, specify that the Windows Classic theme should be used for my program - even if the user wants to set the general option to Windows XP?
