[AccessD] Background color when modifying

John, I had that happen to me too.
Check the background color of the label.
What happens is when you modify the text the background color is shown.
So change it to white and it'll work for you.

Subject: [AccessD] Background color when modifying

I am working on a database.  The labels are apparently transparent and the
form has a background 
pattern (one of those auto form thingies).  When I click in the label for a
control and then click 
again to edit the caption, the background color turns this obnoxious dark
red-ish brown and makes it 
darned near impossible to see the blue font.

Does anyone know if that is a property somewhere that I can modify?  This is
not a runtime property, 
it is a design time property.
