Combo changes to transparent when selected
Access 2007 form. I have a combo with a white background on a blue form.
The back style is set to normal, not transparent. However, when a selection is made with the combo the background turns transparent and the blue shows through. I used the format painter from a text field to color and format the font for this combo, but the text field does not change color when there is data in it. What property is effecting this so I can prevent it? |

Set a color for the Alternate Row property of the detail section of the
form. Jeanette Cunningham MS Access MVP -- Melbourne Victoria Australia "M Skabialka" wrote in message ... Access 2007 form. I have a combo with a white background on a blue form.

Jeanette,
I have this exact same problem. I cannot find a property called Alternate Row so I've set a colour for the Alternative Back Colour however, this doesn't work. Can you please clarify.

Hi Iain,
the alternate row is a property of the detail section of a form in A2007. It is not available in earlier versions of Access.

I assume you meant that Alternate Back Colour property should be set to
Alternate Row, which is what I've done and it seems to work. Thanks for clarifying. "Jeanette Cunningham" wrote: Hi Iain, the alternate row is a property of the detail section of a form in A2007.
