Changing Backround Color in Access

DS
How do you change the backgroung color and Menu bar colors in access so
that its different from he default color in windows. This is for Access
only, I want the other programs to match the default color of windows.
Thanks

I think Stephen Lebans has some such code at his website www.lebans.com.

Hi Tony,
It works but when you close Access and go back, Access returns to its
original color. Any suggestions? Thanks

In the OnOpen event in initial form you open, or the function called by the autoexec
macro, run the same logic.

Thanks Tony,
But I'm not quite sure what to do. Not that experienced yet. Is there
a way to change it in the register?
Thanks
