Updating formatting of multiple forms 1

[addy]

I am currently overhauling a databse application we use. Some of the changes are functionality changes but I am also changing the styling of the application as it is looking a bit jaded.

On each form (and there are about 40) I am changing the format of the text boxes, labels, background colours etc.

Is there an easy way of being able to update the format of every form and every type of control on them?

i.e. some way of specifying the new format (e.g. font, size, background, border style etc.) for text boxes and having this applied to all text boxes on all forms?

Thanks.

Have a look at Autoformat, you will find it on the Format menu in design view, which allows you to create your own template and to update existing forms. You can also set a default form and a default report template under Tools->Options, which is used for forms you create yourself, that is, without a wizard. Make sure you include samples of each type of control on your template form.

So simple Remou, as many of the best solutions usually are.

Thanks very much.
