On Access 2003 reports I always have a blue background on the printed
reports. Wastes a lot of ink, how do I change that?

Change the BackColor property of each section
to white (16777215)

I changed all sections to 16777215, but still have background shading
is there someplace else I have to change for the full report?

Not that I know of. Is it possible that there is a setting
on the printer that's doing this? Do other programs (Word,
Excel) do this too?

Perhaps someone set the Report's Picture property to that background.
If there is a Picture property set simply delete it. The Picture
property without a picture will read ("(none)"

Excellent thought Fred!

I really hope that's it because I am out of ideas :-(

I never heard of such a setting. Setting the back color of
the sections to white eliminates any windows/themes
involvement.

Did you check the report's Picture property as Fred asked?
