Here is my problem...

I initially created a form and attached an autoformat to that form. After
designing the system, I need to change the form's background design away from
the autoformat style and to a custom background design. I preferably do not
want to recreate the form, but at this point I dont know what else to do.
Can anybody help me fix my problem??

Thanks.
Joshua.

You can change everything you want, the autoformat is not reapplied
forever. What format would you choose, if would recreate the form?
That format also is an autoformat. For example, you can reassign the
default autoformat using the format menu.
There is no problem but formatting the form and the controls.

Open the form in design view and modify any properties that
you want to change.

You never did say what kind of "background design" you have,
but if it's a picture, read up on the form's Picture
property.
