This article describes how to use watermarks in a form.
MORE INFORMATION
By adding a background picture to a form, you can simulate a watermark. A
background picture in a form applies to the entire page, including the Page
and Form Header/Footers. To include a watermark on your form, follow these
steps:
- In a form's Design view, open the form's property sheet.
- Set the Picture property to a .bmp, .ico, .wmf, .dib, or .emf file. If
you have installed graphics filters for other programs, you can use
any file supported by those filters. If you are not sure of the path or
file name, click the Build button.
- In the PictureType property box, specify whether you want the picture
to be embedded or linked.
- You can determine the proportions of the picture by setting the
PictureSizeMode property. This property has three settings: Clip, which
displays the picture at actual size; Stretch, which sizes the picture to
fit the area within the margins; and Zoom, which sizes the picture to
fill either the height or width of the area within the margins.
- You can specify the position of the picture on the Form by setting the
PictureAlignment property. Microsoft Access aligns the picture within
the margins of the form. The available settings are Top Left, Top
Right, Center, Bottom Left, and Bottom Right.
- You can repeat the picture across the form by setting the
PictureTiling property to Yes. Tiling starts at the position specified
in the PictureAlignment property.
