Default How to set the Calendar control's background as transaparent?

Hi all,

I have Access 2003. Question: I have a form and a calendar control on
it. I set the Picture property of the form to a jpeg file. But I can't
seem to set the calendar control's background to transparent.

I simply would like to have the calendar control's background to be
transparent so that I can see the picture, ie, the picture from the
form's Picture property. Any way I can do that?

Thanks,

Ben

Not if you're talking about an ActiveX Calendar control. You could maybe do
this with a form-based calendar such as Allen Browne's

http://allenbrowne.com/ser-51.html

or one of the others out there. Using one of these is really preferable,
because you don't run into version incompatibility as you sometimes do with
ActiveX Controls.
