I saw a worksheet in Excel that was a form comprised of about 10 columns and
20 rows. All of the space surrounding the used area was grayed out, so the
page looked like a form in Access. I don't think it was a matter of using
Fill Color on unused cells; the gray extended to the ends of the workbook.

Does anyone know how this was accomplished

Do you see any row or column headers in the unused space? It could be the
rest of the rows and columns are hidden.

Open a blank worksheet and click on column G. Then, while holding down the
SHFT key, touch END RIGHTARROW.

This should select all the columns from column G thru column IV and then

Format Column Hide

Is this the kind of effect you are looking for?

Change Style Normal to appear as you wish for the background, and then
format the used area as you wish.
