    I want to put an image as background (or just change the color. Normaly it is grey). Is it possible? I mean background, where is database window, not background on forms.

    Thanks

    Since an Access program should NEVER have end users using the database window, this would, if it could be done, be a BAD idea.  Having said that, the answer is no.  You have no control over the database window at all.

    Unfortunately i whole heartedly agree with Robert,

    i think you can theme/skin possibly, but its really not a great idea,

    possibly better would be just to have a form with the background (even though you said you didnt want to do it)

    I agree with both about end users and database windows.

    My program always run with hidden database windov (runtime).

    When program is start, user see just gray background and menu, (program is menu oriented not switchboard) so I think to change the background to something else, colorfull or image,....

    Hello Dorniq,

    Create a totally blank form with no header/footer, data source, control box, scrollbars, nav buttons, Min/Max buttons etc. with the desired background color or image. Set that as your Startup form.
