Hi Suzanna,

In which field have you typed the command?? If you want the color to be applied to all the form, you should place the command into a before file / end block of commands.

Example:

before file color background silver color question aqua color data black end

field1 < different checks here > end

etc

It should work....

Good luck !

Yves

I am setting up a database with 2 data entry forms. I would like the 2 forms to be different colors. I have tried typing: COLOR BACKGROUND WHITE in the check file - this is the syntax in Help - but I get the error message "Unknown command". Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong and if it's possible to have forms of different colors?

Thanks, Suzanna
