transparant .gif shows magenta

[emma]

Hi,

I placed a transparant .gif-file as a backgroundpicture on a form. The
transparant part however is displayed in the color magenta. I have no idea
why.

Anyone.

Thanks in advance,

Emma

Isn't it easier to edit picture in some Photo program and turn off
transparency?

You mean to make the picture-background the same color as the form? Easier:
yes, more satisfying: no ;-)

I seem to recall that there is a very specific set of steps you have to
perform to get transparency in an image to work in Access. It does not work
natively.
