1. turn on the property sheet if it is not showing (Alt-Enter)<br />
2. click on the footer section bar or in an area of the footer that does not contain a control to select the footer<br />
3. Back color is on the Format tab -- click in that property<br />
4. Click on the Builder button ... to pick from a list of absolute colors<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;(clicking the drop-down arrow shows theme colors which may change if the theme is changed)

Glad to hear you figured it out.<br />

I have a report which provides some totals in the report footer.  When I print it, the footer has a grey background.  How can I fix this?  I've tried every property change I can think of.  I've been using Access since before the Rolling Stones heard of it, so it might be old age, but it's not a newbie problem.

Thanks in advance,

How can i change the background in a Report Footer.

I have a report which provides some totals in the report footer.  When I print it, the footer has a grey background.  How can I fix this?  I&#39;ve tried every property change I can think of.
