how to make text lbel background transparent

anthonymelillo

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
