    Let users choose the theme

    How can I let users choose their theme without having them go to the layout view? I'd prefer to have them choose from a drop down. Some want pink or flowers or holiday based.

    Here is the answer.

    Make sure that the Options>Current Database>Use Windows Themes is set to true, then

    - go to Options > Customize Ribbon
    - under Choose Commands select All Commands
    - add a new group under the menu where you want it to show, such as "Home"
    - click on the Colors command and click to add it to the new group

    Make sure that all the colors you select in your forms, reports, etc are selected from Access Themes, not a hard-coded color (such as "#00000").
