How to Change the Color of Different Columns in List Boxes and Combo Boxes in Microsoft Access

[@starrdustmemorieswithdiane934]

Thank you for what you do! I just purchased a copy of Microsoft Office 2019 as I have been using Office 2007 which has been just fine with me…..till now. My “geek friend” set up a database for Inventory which I set up for mine over 10 years ago to keep track of my scrapbooking/cardmaking and decorative painting supplies, etc. My friend, after my helping him get a basic setup, went in to add photos of his tools/supplies he purchased. So I had to upgrade as that is what I’m trying to do as well. After I maxed out my Airtable limit, I am stuck now with no way to inventory my supplies like I want to. I’m not a fan of Evernote. I like the “colors” that Airtable has available within their database. The major thing that I hate about Office 2019 is that they changed the basic look to RED with white letters of all things! Horrible to try to see the words in white and the red background……NOPE! Hate it! 😳😕😵‍💫😖😡 Thank you so much for the tutorial to show how to change the base color in Office! Will check out other videos of yours and have my geek friend do as well so that I might be able to come up with a look and function similar to Airtable.
