I have an issue with forms and colors with Access 2K on a machine running XP Pro. All of the forms have a white background and the reports if displayed to the screen appear with a gray background -- not white. The normal colors for the forms vary but most are teal and/or light gray. The reports are okay when they print to printer.

We have over 50 versions of this identical program running and never seen this problem.

I've checked the Windows display settings and don't see anything strange. Has anyone seen this or have any ideas?

Thanks.

Go into the graphic card settings and then you can adjust the colours. Or just select the default option in the graphic card settings or the Windows colour settings.

Please post back if you have any more problems or questions.

This issue was solved by removing drivers for an HP printer/scanner. I have seen this before and believe that the drivers HP uses change the MDAC settings.
