I have looked all over the web for a solution or to see if others have had this issue...but I seem to be the only one!  Probably the user, but I am just not sure what I need to set to get Themes to work correctly.  I am using Access 2010 and I created a some new tables and forms using Access vesion 2010.  When I created some forms I wanted to use the Form Themes, however, when I choose a theme, nothing happens to the header.  Text formats change, as well as color etc., but nothing happens to the header.  I checked in the 'Options' area of Access and I have it checked to use Windows-themed controls on forms...what else can I do???

    It happens every time I create a new database file...(.accdb).  The text will change, etc.  However, nothing happens to the header at all.  Very weird.  It is like I am not getting the images that go on the header for each particular theme.

    Does this happen in all databases or just this one? What happens if you create a new sample .accdb file?  I just created a new blank database and within that database, I made a sample table.  I then highlighted the table in the navigation pane, clicked on the create tab in the ribbon, and then clicked the “form” button.  After doing this, I clicked on the Themes dropdown arrow and hovered over several different themes and all the objects on my form changed accordingly (including the text in the form header).
