I have Windows Themes enabled in an Access 2003 database.

Are there any tips to make the labels appear to reflect the current thems. I am
using a solid backcolor on labels placed on top of a rectangle to make the
forms look like common Windows applications.

If I select a backcolor and change the theme, or disable themes alltogether,
the backcolor of the label stays the same.

You should use the appropriate system color code everywhere
in your application. These are special (negative) color
codes that refer to the current Windows color for a specific
interface component. See "System Color Constants" in Help
for a list of all the codes.
