Printing a form.

[Eightball3]

I have a form with a gray background and black text. When I print the form the page comes out shaded as well, of course. I would like to have the form background color white on a print preview or print without making my form's background color white. Is it possible to change the form's background color back and forth, white when previewing and printing and gray when in form view? Thanks.

Hi 8ball,

try putting the following code in before the line that opens your report:

Me.Detail.BackColor = 16777215

This will change the form background color to white

then for the onclose of the report change the backcolor back to grey, the number is 12632256
