Microsoft Access versions 2.0, 7.0
SUMMARY
Novice: Requires knowledge of the user interface on single-user computers.
In Microsoft Access, forms have a property called PaletteSource that you
can use to create a different color scheme for each form. However, if you
display multiple forms on the screen simultaneously, Microsoft Access
recommends that you set the palettes of all the forms to the same colors.
Microsoft Windows can only display one color palette at a time. If multiple
forms that use different color palettes are displayed at the same time,
only the active form's colors will be correct because the background forms
will be forced to use the active form's color palette. This also occurs
with multiple images on one form.
To prevent this, make sure that all images that will be displayed
simultaneously use the same color palette. Another way to avoid this
behavior is to hide background forms when they are not active.
