I've run into 2 things when working on Forms that are driving me crazy...

1. In Form View, some Combo Boxes will go transparent after tabbing or
moving out of the Combo Box.

2. In Form View, some labels will gradually get more bold as you Page
Up/Down through records.

Has anyone found a fix for either of these yet?

Thanks.

Re #1, if the combo may display as transparent when focus leaves it.
Workaround: set the AlternateBackColor property of the the (Detail?) Section
to something other than "No Color", e.g. #80000027.

I don't have a suggestion for #2, but the workaround above is in the list of
bugs here:

Thanks for the reply. As soon as I posted it, I did a search on the topic
and found what you posted.

I guess I'll keep searching for #2...unless someone knows of a workaround...
