I think now have to find your own image and load into the form's Picture property.

If one ventures into the OFFICE11 (A2003) folder tree, one will discover ..... BITMAPS > STYLES and the bmp & gif files from which form backgrounds are derived. The files themselves WILL NOT "stretch" appropriately to be used as the picture properties of a form's background, so apparently A2003 has some special rendering builtin to a form's properties to produce what I posted as a screenshot. I.e., the pixels stretch okay but to a useless coarse resolution.
If the situation bugs me enough, I'll create an empty form with the desired A2003 background and use as a form template in A2013. (User beware, copy/paste of forms in Access when populated with controls make the DB vulnerable to corruption.)
have you tried setting the picture tiling property to yes?
AH! That's all it needed. I copied the STYLES library over from A2003, selected the ACEXPDTN.gif as the background picture and set the tiling property to yes.
As usual Ajax, you're a winner!
