I cannot seem to get around solid backgrounds on logo images I paste into Access 97 forms

MLH

I have a logo image that I can paste into MS Paint as an image with
clear background. Think of the logo as a black circle in a white,
rectangular background. When I paste into Paint, the white back-
ground can be made "clear" so it does NOT overwrite other image
data when I'm pasting into an existing picture. Just the circle would
appear after the paste is made.

However, when I try to accomplish the same thing with an Access
97 form, the image's background comes through as white. I really
wish I knew how to circumvent that. I'm quite flexible. I can convert
the image into most anything that can be later used in Access. Care
to comment?

You can load your image first into a MS Word and then manually copy and
paste it onto your form in Design view. The transparency will be
retained.
Alternatively see:
http://www.lebans.com/transpar*ent.htm
Transparent.zip is a database containing functions to allow for the
conversion of Bitmap, Gif, Jpeg, Enhanced Metafile and Metafile to an
Enhanced Metafile format supporting Transparent backgrounds.

Well, I tried pasting into MS Word, then cutting and
pasting onto an Access form. Then I tried the transparent
mdb conversion utility. That saved it as an EMF file. The
EMF file showed up as an icon in my form when I put it
there. The image would not display. Dunno why.

Oops.. spoke too soon. I had to set the image
control in MS Word before copying the image
and pasting into Access. I did that in MS Word
where it let me "pick" the transparent color. I
picked the white background and THEN copied
'n pasted into ms access and it worked.

thx for suggestion

You're kidding, right?
I think pasting a graphic that's destined for
an Access form into WP beforehand is
convoluted, something akin to reaching
behind your head with your right hand to
scratch your left cheek.
