Rather than have them print the forms, create a report and put a button on the form that will print what they need, and you can format this exactly as needed. It's the first thing I do when I see that people have been printing the form. It usually isn't formatted to fit a page well, and there's no need to print all the controls. The form looks better using color, and the report reads much better if it's not in color.

If you want a different color, then you can layer in a label underneath it and adjust it's Back color. I hope that helps.

The user does not like the color because they print some of the forms and the color uses to much toner. I tried to see where to change the color but did not see where or if the color can be changed. the multi page form in design view seems to cover the grid. Does anyone know if the color can be changed. Thanks A.T. Please zip all files prior to uploading to Files section. Yahoo! Groups Links Please zip all files prior to uploading to Files section.
