The background of my form is dark blue,
Is there any way to tell access that when printing it should not print the background or it should change the background?
At a guess I would say no because Access prints a snapshop. You could always change the background colour before printing and change it back afterwards I suppose.

I guess I will just change the color permenantly

Don't give up too quickly. You shouldn't have to compromise your user interface to accommodate printing. Mmccarthy's suggestion should help, and it's not complicated. Well, to be honest, that probably depends on how the printing is initiated.
I would imagine there are numerous ways to resolve your problem, some more complex than others. For excample, you could create a print-only version of the form which is never displayed on-screen. You might evcen do this temporarily at run-time.
Anyway my point is, don't be discouraged just because you can't do it quite as easily as you'd hoped. Look at it as a learning experience. (Besides, it may be as simple as adding two more statements.)
Something just came to mind. Keep in mind I'm not expert in this area, but couldn't you do something like using an image for the background (I'm not sure how you'd get it to look right), and set the DisplayWhen property for that image to screen only?
(Hope you saw my earlier message.)
I'm having the opposite problem, I can't seem to print the backgound color!!
How did yoiu do it?
Mary's idea is very simple to implement. If you use the Command Button Wizard to generate a Print Record button, simply modify the code like this: - Private Sub Command5_Click()
-
On Error GoTo Err_Command5_Click
-
-
'Assign the current background colors to variables
-
-
HeaderDefColor = Me.FormHeader.BackColor
-
DetailDefColor = Me.Detail.BackColor
-
FooterDefColor = Me.FormFooter.BackColor
-
-
'Change color to white
-
Me.FormHeader.BackColor = vbWhite
-
Me.Detail.BackColor = vbWhite
-
Me.FormFooter.BackColor = vbWhite
-
-
'Print the record
-
DoCmd.DoMenuItem acFormBar, acEditMenu, 8, , acMenuVer70
-
DoCmd.PrintOut acSelection
-
-
'Change the background color back to the original color
-
Me.FormHeader.BackColor = HeaderDefColor
-
Me.Detail.BackColor = DetailDefColor
-
Me.FormFooter.BackColor = FooterDefColor
-
-
Exit_Command5_Click:
-
Exit Sub
-
Err_Command5_Click:
-
MsgBox Err.Description
-
Resume Exit_Command5_Click
-
End Sub

Hello all!
For quite some time now, I've got the following problem:
Access won't close properly when a user closes the application. An
ACCESS process stays active and that process can only be terminated by
pressing ++ and then terminate the process.

I have several forms stored in pdf format. Instead of scanning these

an access report to place the fields but have it actually print out

in an access report.
Thank you in advance for your help.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
