How do I set up a texture background on a form? The only
thing I see available as a custom change is the color
pallete. I don't see it under autoformat either.
A texture background, (i.e. Stone) is actually a picture bitmap.
Different Access versions have different texture type pictures.
In Form Design View, click on the Picture property.
It probably says (none) at the present time.
Click on the 3 dots that appears on that line.
Navigate to the folder that contains the bitmap and select the
'picture' you wish.
Set the Picture Size Mode property to Stretch.
If you are not sure what the bitmap looks like, simply right-click on
it and open it.
For instance, on my computer, 'Stone' is located in
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\Bitmaps\Styles\STONE.BMP
And take a look in the DBwiz folder as long as you're in the Bitmap
folder and also at the Clip Art folder when you're in Microsoft Office
folder. They may not have textures, but you might find something else
to use at another time.
Search your computer
Start + Search +All Files and Folders
for .bmp files and you will probably get other textures from other
programs. You're not limited to what Microsoft has.
