spiffing up 2003 dbs?

[TooGoon]

Hi,

I've finished an overhaul of an old 97 database, but before it is submitted, my boss would like me to investigate the newer 2000-2003 features, and make the db just a bit more shiny for the users.

So are there any tricks/tips as far as the UI in the new version of access that you like to use?

Also, 2003's windowing system doesn't seem to be that updated, except for the annoying xp style. Is there any scalable/non-processor intensive way to make a new less drab appearance, beyond the default options for colors and border styles? Like new button icons, scroll bars, etc?

Thanks.

One feature to check out is conditional formatting.

nice. Thanks faeryfyrre.

But whats with conditional formatting being limited to only 3 optional formats? That's pretty lame.
