Report text box borders automatically reset to solid

[Gerhard]

I created a database in Access 2000 on my PC.
I copied it to a laptop which runs Access 2003 and XP.
I opened the database on the laptop and printed some reports, but the borders of all text boxes on the reports were then somehow reset to “solid”, while I had it “transparent” on the PC.

I changed it back to transparent and I’m not going to try to replicate it again; just wondered if anybody had the same problem. Maybe its got nothing to do with the copying. Maybe I reset something somewhere.
Thanx.

I have never heard of such a problem happening on its own, but if this anomaly still exists, this little code snippet may cure it:

Private Sub Report_Open(Cancel As Integer)
Dim ctl As Control
 
For Each ctl In Me.Controls
  If ctl.ControlType = acTextBox Then
    ctl.BorderStyle = 0     'Transparent
  End If
Next
 End Sub

P.S. Just for my own curiosity, let me know how you made out.

Thanx I'll use it.
