Cannot Change Back colour

[Drenda]

Can anyone help

I'm sure there is an easy answer but cannot seem to resolve the fact that even though I change the back colour of my form in design view, when I change to form view the colour stays the same as the original desing. Not sure if this helps but I created my original form using the form wizard?

Any help would really be appreciated

Many thanks

Did you change the style of the form from the defalut in the wizard? If so you might well have a picture set as the background. Have a look at the form's picture property and if it doesn't read (none) try deleting it out.

Hope this helps

Have checked and the picture property is embedded so I assume I cannot change?

You could change the picture or just remove it altogether (delete the word (bitmap) in the Picture property), thus allowing you to see the changed background colour.

Hope this helps
