Microsoft Access Macro Quiz: Form Properties and SetValue

Test your Microsoft Access knowledge with five quick questions about form properties and macros. This advanced quiz covers control sizing, focus events, fonts, section colors, and the SetValue action. Learn why Access uses twips for control dimensions, why Got Focus and Lost Focus work well for temporary text box resizing, and why common fonts are safer when databases move between computers. The quiz also clears up a common macro mistake: property sheets may display friendly text such as "Normal," while SetValue may require the underlying numeric property value instead. You will also see the proper way to target the Detail section's BackColor on an open form.
