Hi,
Is there a way to make miltiple form uniformally designed by adding a piece of code ?

I have different forms that need to appear the same (i.e. background color, form size, font size and color, fields aligning, etc). How do I avoid going through all forms and changing all those attributes manually? I've heard there is a way to save form as a design template and then apply to other forms. Anyone familiar with that technique ?

thanks
 
You can create your own form template and add it to the Autoformat List by choosing that option from the Format Menu (forms Design View) and using the Customize button. Be sure to add a sample of each control you wish to use. You can set a form template under Tools->Options on the Forms/Reports tab, but this will affect all databases.
