My client has an old Access application written in Access 2003. It’s fairly large and complex, but well established and works well functionally, so redeveloping is not an option.

We’d like to give this a visual makeover to make it look more ‘modern’. No changes in functionality here, simply eye candy.

Can anyone recommend an efficient approach to this? Are there any reskinning extensions or similar for access? Would there be any advantage in upgrading to Access 2007?

    Are themed controls turned on? Themed controls are supported in a2003, and they tend to make 10 year old software only look a few years old.

    The above has themes turned off. Here is the same a2003 with themes turned on:

    And, here is two more:

    and, now with themes on:

    So, themes are one way to spruce things up a bit.
