Clarity theme

Question

I am in an Access class that unfortunately is still using 2010. My computer has Access 2013 installed. Now an issue that has presented is applying a theme to a form. Unfortunately, the theme required by the assignment is a 2010 theme "Clarity" and not available in 2013. Does anyone have any ideas how to get this theme, maybe a download? It's next to impossible to find any version of 2010.

Answer 1

Again to to the instructor. Why a particular Theme is necessary is beyond me.

Answer 2

You offer very good suggestions and I agree with you. Unfortunately, the class has an automatic grading system, so if the answers  are not in the correct format, it is wrong.  Yes, I have spent way too much time trying to find a theme that is gone, it's next to impossible to find someone running 2010 and our school lab computers are updated to 2013. Not a fair situation.

Answer 3

You may do well to talk to the instructor. Being able to use a particular Theme isn't (to my mind) a very significant part of learning to use Access; and it may be that the instructor doesn't realize that they're causing a significant problem in order to meet an insignificant requirement!

Could you perhaps demonstrate that you understand the mechanics of applying A theme, even if it's a different theme, one that you do have available?

Answer 4

Thanks for the suggestion. It's a distance ed class  which makes communicating a little tough. But I'll try that. I did find "Clarity" online as a powepoint theme. Is there a way to copy and reuse for Access? So far, just the slide is copying.

Answer 5

Maybe one of your class mates or your teacher has A2010. When they pick the theme, they are really picking a theme file. Ask them for a copy of that theme file. More than likely you can put the file in your Theme folder and select it. 99% chance it will work.
