Glad that helped out - that issue makes for a very annoying user interface.<br />

Just a note...The purpose of the Alternate Background property is to display alternating colors in a continuous form or datasheet view of the form. &nbsp;It is just by some bug that it also affects your controls' backgrounds in single form view (where it should have no effect at all). &nbsp;As far as I know, this issue is not present in Access 2010.

Hi Guys, I wonder if anybody else has come across this problem? <br />
I have developed an Access database in 2003 and migrated it to 2007. &nbsp;I have a main input form and another smaller form as a pop up. &nbsp;the combo boxes on the main form have a white background but when the pop up form is moved over them the combo boxes get repainted with the main forms background colour. &nbsp;we want all combo's text and other boxes all to remain white. &nbsp;we have found that this occurs with access 2007 with windows XP and windows 7 <br />
Any ideas as always will be much appreciated.
