Can textboxes have transparent backgrounds?

Hi again,
Just wondering if this was possible. I tried setting it in the Properties
menu but got this response:
This control does not support transparent background colors.
Thanks again,
Melanie

Thanks! I looked at it and got some ideas, but there's just so much there I
got a little lost (I'm still new). I posted a new question from some these
new thoughts (titled transparent textboxes - quick question).
Thanks again,
Melanie

Thanks for your courtesy Melanie. I've seen it now and will keep my eyes
peeled on it.
In the meantime I'll see if I can find any more info.

Mark.
