Add Custom Colors on Startup

Can someone point me in the right direction...

We have changed our logo and colors and I am redesigning numerous
reports. Does anyone know a way to add custom colors whenever I start
up my database, so that I don't have to continually add them again
every time I reopen the database?

I'd like to add them in the custom colors wheel thingy, for use on any
forms and reports. You know, where you define the RGB numbers and add
them to the custom color list.

Josetta,

What you can do is make a table where you store the numbers (the numbers
that Access inserts in the property setting after you set the color) and a
description of the color. You could even actually store a swatch of the
color if you want. Then when you need one of your custom colors, just
consult this table, copy the color number, and paste it into the appropriate
property setting. The table could be imported into any database you're
working on and deleted later.

Hello all, I'm sure there is, just can't figure it out. I have the RGB code and the color number. But the color doesn't exsist in Visual studio.net. Can I add this color to the system pallet it self, so I can add the custom color to fonts? I need to match as close as possible to the color I was given. Thanks Rudy

Hi everyone/anyone, I am using a button in my app that opens the color dialog, and allows the user to select a color which changes the backcolor of a label. I then store the color in my db as a hash value, since i found this to be the easiest way to store it. However, i want the user to be able to add custom colors. When they create a custom color within the dialog, it is not saved there on returning to the dialog. I was thinking about...

I know that it is possible to force Access 2007 to the display custom menu bars for an Access database developed in an earlier version by using the customisation settings in A2007 to nominate a custom menu bar to display on startup. However is it possible to achieve this from within the earlier version, perhaps by using code, so that one doesn't have to use A2007 to set the custom menu bar? It seems that even if an application written...
