Changing the color of the titlebar

[Miles]

I have a problem with something that I thought would be
easy to do, but it escapes me.

How do I change the color of the titlebar (and the form
border) from the standard Microsoft blue to silver?

I am using Access 2003 with XP.

Thanks in Advance
Miles.

Miles,

The colour scheme is a function of the current Windows colour scheme.

1. Select Start | Settings | Control Panel | Display.
2. Select the Appearance tab.
3. Play about in there.

What if I want to change the color of the titlebar and
border of just one form and leave all the other forms
alone? Is there anyway I can do this using VBA? XP API?

Thanks Again
Miles

Miles,

The colours used for ALL title bars for ALL applications is governed by the
Display Settings in Control Panel.

However, if you want to change the colour of one form's title bar:

Note: I've not tested this code in Access.
