    Copy the structure.


    When copying the whole structure of a sizable development. No problem with tables. Some tables need to keep previous data, some not. No problem with queries. Issue is with forms. The controls and buttons are different colors.

    Check whether you used a theme in the original or new database and if yes to both whether it's the same theme

    That video wasn't what I meant ...and personally I found it very irritating ...

    Themes are used to create a consistent colour and font style across your application
    You can use one of the supplied themes or create your own.
    Instead, try this video which covers the basic idea
