Set Text Boxes to Transparent

I am using Access 2003. I have a label called E-Mail Address and a text box that is bound to it. I would like to make the text box transparent? How would I do this. It seems a simple thing but I am having trouble finding an answer.

Many thanks

Highlight the textbox in design view, then invoke the textbox's property sheet. Go to Back Style property and set it to transparent.
