I am using Stephans code to change the background color of the Access
container in Access 97, the code works fine when running in Access in
the normal way.
The problem occurs when running the program after creating a RunTime
version when a gray rectangle appears at the top left hand side of the
screen.
This effect is present when using the sub that changes the color and
when using the sub that calls up an image.
I expect that only Stephen can sort this out, I hope he reads this and
can help.

Patrick I think this issue was brought up a couple of months ago. It has
to do with a timing issue if I remember as Access leaves space for a
Menu/Toolbar even if it will actually end up not displaying it.
Have you searched on Google? I'm sure there is a thread there.
Let me know.

Hi Stephen
I have asearched every way I can think of, it very difficult to phrase
a search as most users will not have come across this problem. I was
hoping as you wrote the code that you could come up with a solution, I
will be most gratefull if you can, UI can put a screen shot up on the
web if it will help.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words:
I have posted a screen shot of the problem to www.rhub.com/lebans
which should make clear what is happening, I have deliberately kept
things as simple as possible with a form and a button to run the code
as follows
Private Sub Command0_Click( )
Dim blRet As Boolean
Dim lngColor As Long
lngColor = 100
If lngColor = -1 Then lngColor = RGB(255, 255, 255)
blRet = RestoreMDIBackG roundImage(lngC olor)
End Sub
I looked at the group postings as suggested but they did not seem to
describe the problem I am having as the web page will make clear.
Help

Thanks for the screen shot...very strange!
Patrick I cannot duplicate this here at home. Have you duplicated this
effect on more than 1 machine?
What happens when you cause a screen redraw.. say if you drag your Form
over top of this stray rectangle. WHne you again move the form to
uncover this rectangle does it finally dissappear?

Hi Stephen
Yes I can duplicate it every time I install it on any machine.
Moving another window over it done not remove it.
This problem only occurs when using the runtime which I create using

Patrick I cannot duplicate it here so I'm not sure how to help you with
this. Have you tried loading a Bitmap instead of specifying a colored
brush, and see if that works?

Hi All,
I'm using Stephan Lebans' nifty code for automatically resizing text
fields to the size required to show (almost) all text in that field
(CanGrow3, thanks Stephen!).
In general this function works great. However, I sometimes have a
problem with the last text line. Often the last line is just below the
end of the field and to view that line I have to scroll to it. Is that
a known problem? And is there a solution?
