    Changing Form Themes in 2010

    Not a hot issue but driving me nuts. I have a database that was created in 2007, therefore the extension is accdb

    I want to change the theme on an existing form, however it will not apply. So am I not holding my mouth the right way or what?



    Any help out there?
    Thanks,
    Jacqueline

    Don't know, I never used the themes. Might have to rebuild the form. Do that as test. Create new form with the desired theme and copy/paste all the controls. Will the theme apply? If not, must be the whole project has issues. Compatibility between 2007 and 2010 is less than perfect.

    Has this issue been resolved?
    Where can I find an answer to this?
    I can't apply themes to the form inported from 2007 to 2010!
    Copying everything to a new database was a chore because of about 20 references that had to be established but even then I could not apply themes?

    This question is nearly 2 years old, is there an answer yet?
