textbox shows desktop background as it is loading...ugly

Hi!
How do I suppress the desktop background showing through textboxes while the
form is loading?
This is really ugly. The textboxes look transparent while form is loading.

Thanks

This occurs on some slow machines and forms with many controls on them,
but it should only occur when the form is shown for the first time.

Hi, I have an html page that asks the user for info, preforms a calculation and then displays the output in a read only text box. The problem is that I have a grey background for the page, but the number shows up in the textbox with a white background. I wanted to know if there was any way to change this background. If not is there anyway I can write out text from an onclick event without reloading the page or using a text box.

I am looking for VBA code that will work with Access 2003 to enable dragging and dropping a file/folder name from Windows XP Explorer into an Access form's text box.

Through Google, I found two VB6 examples and one VBA example on the Access Web written by Dev Ashish. The VB6 examples used loops to keep checking...
