I have edited Act_Primary and encompansed all the existing tables into an outer table. Reason for this is that I want a border around them with the background colour outside the tables different to the colours inside the tables.

What I can't find out how to do is change the outer colour!

If this doesn't make sense have a look at:

http://puddle-computing.co.uk/acatalog/

its the cream border outside the blue lines that I want to change to a different colour whilst leaving all other colours the same.

I did manage to do this by changing the page properties from within Dreamweaver, but when I did an offline preview in Actinic the change didn't show.

Anyone know how I can do this?

TIA

I get a "Not Found" on that page.

Sorry, that should have read:

(btw I know most of the images are missing, just testing at the moment!)

I think you need to alter the BODY BACKGROUND. At present it is:-

<BODY BACKGROUND="background1.gif" ........>

This must be coming from the theme you are using. One way to fix this is to edit Act_Primary.html and

replace

<BODY NETQUOTEVAR:BGIMAGE NETQUOTEVAR:BGCOLOR

With


<BODY BGCOLOR="#123456"

where the 123456 should be replaced by whatever colour code you require.

Alternatively if you wish to use an image of your own then use:-


<BODY BACKGROUND="mybackground1.gif"

If Norman's suggestion doesn't work Then try playing with border, cell spacing and cell padding.
