Finding dulicate entries. Microsoft Access: Lesson 11 - Using Data Types. In all forms we have created so far, unless using the Form Wizard or occupying it with a picture, the body of the form was painted with a white color. If you don't enjoy white forms, you can set the background to a color of your choice. Unlike the picture, the form (fortunately) does not control its background color. This aspect is left to each section to manage. Before specifying the color of a form, first click or select the intended section.

To change the background color of a section: On the Ribbon, click Home and, in the Text Formatting section, select a color from the Background Color button Right-click a section, position the mouse on Fill/Back Color and click the desired color On the Ribbon, click Format. Otherwise, you can click the browse button. If you decide to create a tabular form, you can make all rows show their backgrounds in the same color As an alternative, you can make even rows show their background in one color and odd rows show their background in another color.

All of the controls on this form are going to be text boxes, so the quickest way to add them all is to view the field list, and then select all of fields shown apart from TrackID and RecordID, and drag them to the form's detail section. Remove all of the labels that were created with the text boxes (Ctl-X to cut them, and then you can paste them straight into the form's header). In the order that the controls are going to appear on the form, we need to make the following changes: TrackNumber TrackName TrackMinutes TrackSeconds TrackAuthor TrackNotes We shall set the ControlSource of txtTotalMinutes to: Top.
