Formating form header with gradients?

[spikepl]

Attached is an A2007 time-card template from Microsoft.

I like the formating of the form's header, but simply cannot figure out how it was done. Can you? Please do tell ...

I am assuming you are referring to that bar under the form's title....

That comes with the Access templates (at least it did in 2007). In mine it is called GlassBanner.png. Yours appears to be called: office.png

I have never been able to add it to forms at will but have not tried very hard.

Perhaps it is possible do download the image and use it in Picture (under properties>format) as it is used here.

Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanks! I was looking and looking and just couldn't see how that was done!

Maybe this will work:

Mine is actually GlassBanner2.png. Wonder why yours is different...

I have wanted to do this before but the image is embedded. I guess you could use the template forms but seems like there should be a better way

Creating a gradient is not that difficult. Besides I suspect that MS may use bitmaps which are crap.

The solution from that link works like a charm.
