Form User preferences
[This same question has been posted on MSDN as well. Link will be provided soon.]
Hi folks!
Recently, I have come across an interesting article about Access Forms that was talking (and providing a valid working example) of user preferences. The idea was basically that there was a form which once you open it, allows you to change the background and some other colors.
The end result: Other forms that you open will have the same background / other colors. The thing is, the particular article was referring to user preferences set for the forms overall. In other words, if you log into your database "app", the settings that may have been set by someone else would still be applied (by settings, I refer to the colors).
Now my question is: Would this be possible to be set up for each user to have their own preferences so that when you log in, the settings chosen by you only would be applied? I have my doubts, but this would definitely give a more dynamic feeling when using an Access database.
The article that was mentioned above hasn't been linked since it's an outer link / link to an external website instead of this one.
