How To Create Dark Mode In Microsoft Access Forms Switch Light And Dark With VBA

In this video, we discuss how to add a basic dark mode feature to your Microsoft Access forms. I will show you a straightforward way to toggle between light and dark mode using a checkbox, make changes to text box colors automatically with a VBA loop, and adjust the form background for a more comfortable viewing experience. We will talk about handling exceptions for specific controls and highlight some important considerations when designing forms in dark mode. More advanced solutions for database-wide dark mode are also discussed.

Miles from Mesa, Arizona (a Gold Member) asks How can I get my Microsoft Access database to switch to dark mode like the rest of Windows? I work late a lot and everything else goes dark automatically, but Access stays bright and hurts my eyes. I don't want to build and maintain two separate versions of every form, that seems like a lot of extra work. Is there an easy way to make my forms switch between light and dark?
