Thanks to you folks, I am getting more proficient with Access in general and the forms in particular. Many thanks.
I designed a form this morning and it works just as I need it to. The problem I am having is with the background color. I just want it to be white (or no color). On the form view and the print preview it appears that way. However, when I print it comes out with a light gray background. I have gone to design>format but nothing there helps me get rid of this so far. Probably an easy fix..but I can't find it. Thanks again.
