how to make text lbel background transparent

Is there a way to make the background of a text label transparent so that
the image on the form behind can show through ?

I can only seem to find out how to make the text background a color.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you

Tony,
Select the label in the forms designer, in the Properties Window change the
BackColor to Transparent, Transparent is at the top of the Web tab in the
color picker drop down.

Hope this helps
Jay

(acc 2002) I've got six unbound text boxes on a subform that has a white background. Each of those six boxes has an expression that when true, will change its background from white to another color. These text boxes need to go behind a single line of other bound text boxes (which show the actual record). I.e., the purpose of the unbound text boxes w/conditional formatting is to highlight the record/background with one of six colors.

Hi there. I know I can make a form transparent by setting the transparent color, opacity, etc. Is there a way of making the background of a label and the background of a picturebox transparent also, so that I can place some text on top of an image (seing the image behind the text instead of the gray box of the label) and showing to the user only the image without the background of the picturebox or form, and the text over it? Any Ideas?...

I want to center an image on the screen and have text centered over the image. What's the best way to do this? I've been playing with style tags and I can get the stuff to center automatically OR have the text appear on top of the image. But in the second case, the image and text aren't centered properly. Any help is appreciated... Jerry
