INF: Combo Box On Toolbar Does Not Use Window Background Color
'Article ID: Q90852

Creation Date: 22-OCT-1992

Revision Date: 19-SEP-1996' The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Access versions 1.0 and 1.1

SUMMARY

The Microsoft Access combo box on the toolbar does not use the window background color, so changing the background color in the Color utility in Control Panel has no effect.

MORE INFORMATION

Microsoft Access toolbars are predefined forms. There is no way to specify the windows background as a color on a form. If you want to change colors in Microsoft Access, you can open and edit the forms in UTILITY.MDA. If you modify UTILITY.MDA, make sure to back up the UTILITY.MDA file before you make any modifications.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior


 * 1) Change the Window Background color in Control Panel.
 * 2) Start Microsoft Access and open the sample database NWIND.MDB.
 * 3) Select the Table command from the View menu.
 * 4) Select the Customer table by double-clicking it.

At this point the &quot;Field:&quot; drop-down combo box still has a white background.
 * }
