RE: terminal window

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Like they say, programming would be a great job if it weren't for the
clients/end users! This is really weird; we used to spend all kinds of time
and effort trying to make interfaces nicer looking!

There's a few thing you have to remember:


Well here's a start.

Pick a screen color; used to always be blue or green

Command Button background colors are controlled by Windows, not Access. So if
you don't want the old neutral beige button showing up, you'll have to use
the click property of a label or textbox instead.
The old "command buttons" were just white squares/rectangles usually arrayed
across the bottom of the screen.

Set to No the form's Scroll Bars, Navigation Buttons and Record Selector.
You'll have to place your own command buttons, as mentioned above.

In your form's Property Box set to NO:
Scroll Bars
Navigation Buttons
Record Selector
Minimum/Maximum Buttons
Close Button
Control Box

On your text boxes set:

Background color to same as screen color
Forecolors to a color lighter than your screen color
Border Style = Transparent
Special Effect = Flat

Don't know how to get rid of the Title Bar. Maybe somewhat else here knows.
If you can't get rid of it, it's going to hang there and like the native
command buttons, it's color is going to be dictated by the settings in
Windows, not Access.

Good luck!
