Found something that works on Google (http://groups.google.de/groups?hl=de&lr=&ie=UTF-8&group=comp.databases.ms-a ccess): Here are 2 solutions: (A) 1) Load and convert the desired Image as a Transparent Gif file. Save the converted Image to disk as you would normally. 2) Open Microsoft Word. Menu-_Insert->Picture->From File Browse to your converted Image you previously saved and select it. 3) After the Image appears on the page Click once on the Image to select it. 4) Right click and select Copy from the Popup menu or click on the ToolBar to select COPY 5) Open an Access Form and Select Paste from the Menu or ToolBar. The Image is pasted as an unbound OLE frame. 6) On the Access Form-Format menu select Change To->Image control. 7) Change the new converted Image control's Back Style Prop to Transparent. (B) http://www.lebans.com/transparent.htm (A) actually does the job!!

Access XP may be different. So what I have to do when this sort of 'look' comes up is go with a white background.
