You can set the PictureTiling property in the object’s property sheet, a macro, or using Visual Basic.

Remarks

You can create interesting effects by placing a picture on a form or report and setting the PictureTiling property to Yes. The alignment of the tiled images is affected by the PictureAlignment property setting. For example, if the PictureAlignment property is set to Top-left, tiling begins at the top left of the image control, Form, or Report window.

Note If the PictureAlignment property is set to Form Center and the PictureTiling property is set to Yes, the background picture of a form will be tiled across the form, not across the Form window.
