Is it possible to format forms in a CSS type of way, where you can set
colors, field borders, etc in one place, and all the forms call those
properties in, so changes don't have to be made to every form in
design mode?
Thanks!

Check out "template form" in the help file. You can also create a "Do
Nothing" form with your standard controls and code, and copy it when
you want to create a new form.
Also, I found this out after years of using Access: if you select a
control in the toolbox (as opposed to on a form or report), you can
set default values for that control.
Also, a few more options like default font in the Options dialog.

I was hoping to create a table in which you input the values, and the
forms pull their properties from that table. So, if you wanted all the
forms to change from a grey color to a blue color, all you would have
to do, is change it in one place, rather than open every form and make
the change.
