830 Chapter 27 Create Simple Forms
If you like most of the formatting of a theme but you want to fine-tune some elements,
you can do so in Layout view. In this view, you can see the records from the table to which
the form is bound, so when you make adjustments, you can see the impact on the data.
(Changes to the data can be made only in Form view.) You might also want to add your
organization’s logo or a small graphic that represents the form’s contents.
In this exercise, you’ll change the form properties that control its colors and text attributes.
You’ll also add a logo to the form.
SET UP You need the GardenCompany03 database you worked with in the preceding
exercise and the Logo graphic located in your Chapter27 practice file folder to complete
this exercise. Open the GardenCompany03 database, and then follow the steps.
1. In the Navigation pane, under Forms, right-click Customers, and then click
Layout View.
The Customers form opens in Layout view.
2. On the Design contextual tab, in the Themes group, click the Themes button.
The Themes gallery appears.
Each thumbnail represents a theme. By default, the Office theme is applied to this database.
3. Point to each thumbnail in turn, pausing to see its name in the ScreenTip that
appears and the live preview of the form header and text.
