Nope. The closest you could come is to create a Transparent Gif containing a
facimile of the desired Line. You can then use the Transparent function on
my site to load the image into an Access Image control.

Is it possible to draw a semi transparent line on a form?

I don't think so, at least not in Access 2003 or earlier -- I haven't
seen Access 2007 yet, so maybe someone in the beta program for it could
say what A2007 can do. But I'm also not sure what a "semi transparent
line" would be, so I'm really only guessing. Could you describe exactly
what you want in more detail?
 
Thanks for the quick responses - Dirk and Stephen.

I'm (considering) showing a little more detail on a grid control than just
the background cell colour. Depending on a value, a portion of the cell would
be coloured (eg. 60% = 60% of the cell shaded but the text still readable).

If the cell height is not to small (Which can be monitored) I could also
draw a solid line under the text, so this is an option. Either of the above
would likely be a mask on the visible grid records only, enabled and
refreshed as required. It could get complex though...

Alternately just stick with the cell colour and conditional formatting. I'm
exploring the best approach at the moment, so any general thoughts are
appreciated.

Thanks again

For forms in Continuous or Datasheet view your only option would be to use
Conditional Formatting.
