The most basic way is to look on the properties of your form and the properties of your form detail and change the background color or add a picture to the background. Then maybe change the color of your fonts, etc. Always remember though, the look of it means nothing if your structure is no good. First priority should be making sure your table structure and relationships are correct. Then make sure that yopur forms are functioning correctly.

The dull grey can be changed to any color with the regular properties of Access. The fancy buttons and stuff you see are actually images that are put on a form, and made to act like a button or tab, but really aren't.
