Increase color pallette

How can I increase the colors available in the color pallette. Currently
there are only 35. Is there a way to set custom colors like you can with the
windows desktop background?

Many thanks in advance for any help.

Sarah,
Do you mean the pallete that you see in forms design
view, section: detail, back color property?

Sarah,
I'm using Access 2000 and my pallette is 8 x 6=48. Anyway,
click the ellipses of the Back Color property. That will
bring up the Color dialog box. Click on the Define Custom
Colors button and that will expose more color choices on
the right hand side of the dialog box. Either click inside
the "rainbow" or enter a red-gree-blue combination of
values from 0 to 255. Then click the Add To Custom Colors
button, and you'll see the new color show up on the Custom
Colors pallette.
Does that help?
Geof.
