    Default color scheme


    The database I'm creating has a color scheme that does not change between forms, is there any way I can set the form header and detail sections to have this color scheme incorporated when creating a new form or will I have to manually change colors every time I create one?

    To some extent you can create a custom theme but I've never found that reliable.

    One method is to create a template form with all the design features you want.
    Use that for each new form and just Save As a different name.
