I have created a form but now want to change the 'look' the background choice
that I made when I used the wizzard. I would rather NOT have to recreate the
form since I have spent alot of time on the positioning, etc. of data
elements. But want to change the style.....the wizzard gives choices but I
have searched and I do not see where I can change after creating.....???

There is no real "undo" to this other than just going into the form and
changing the properties to whatever you like. The most often question is
how to get rid of the "background" picture. It is really easy. it is
contained in the picture property of the form. just clear this field out
and the form defaults to the color which you can then change (in each
section). as for the fonts, you can just select all the controls and change
the font or the color or the style etc...
 
Thanks but not following. I think I chose "rice paper" as choice for
background or style....I will be entering alot of data and this is just not
going to work...and I would rather have 'corporate' or whatever the choice
for more contrast is......so I don't have a picture. I went into properties
and there are several choices for picture...Can you elaborate on your reponse
or if I clarified my question, readdress it...Thanks so much.

I thought you wanted to get rid of any theme totally. If you want to change
the layout. you probably should create a new blank form using the theme of
your choice, then with the original form open, just select all the controls
and paste them onto the new form. the fonts might not match but then that
is a simple matter to correct also.
