I can set any color I want in VBA but it always returns the closest match from a preset color palette. I there a way to control the colors in the preset color palette programmatically?

The fix is the addition of a single ‘ByVal’ to the RegOpenKeyExA declaration as follows: ByVal dwOptions As Long.

There is no simple way (AFAIK) to make this work for a single Office application as the Theme registry key is used by all of them.
The only way I can think of would be to either use a Runtime version separate from the normal Office version the user has installed, or to contain the whole of the runtime installation in a virtualised application environment like ThinApp for instance.

Can you provide us with the code to change the color code for office 2010…

PD: Is there anyway to make this work for access only?
