I have a mdb database (Access 2003), now I’m using A2007 and when I try to use Autoformat in my forms an error message appears “Application-definde or object-defined error”
I already applied Office 2007 SP2, but whit no luck

Can anybody help me??

Thanks in advance.

If you’re having trouble with formatting your forms with AutoFormat, make sure your image storage settings are correct

Access Options -> Current Database tab -> under Picture Property Storage Format, select ‘Preserve source image format’

When converting to Access 2007, I want to convert all forms to the same format. Is there a one-step method, or do all forms have to be separately converted?

Too late to help this user, but for others stumbeling over it:

to be applied to the whole form, make sure to mark the whole form before applying via the little square in the upper left corner, between the horizontal and vertical rulers.

If you have just a single item like a control selected, the autoform will just apply to that particular control.

What could keep the AutoFormat from being applied to my forms. It is doing the headers but the body is not changing. It is staying the orginal Dark Blue.
