[PeterM]

Is there a way to make a transparent listbox.

Thanks.

You can set the border to transparent and the backcolor to the same color as
the form.

"transparent" implies that you can see through it.

What do you have "behind" it that you want to see?

I have an image file that is shaded gradiently. It's a way that I show
listboxes on my forms that you can select an entry to query that record.

I understand what you're saying but that's the different that what I'm asking
form. I have a image that displays a color gradiantly. I need the listbox
to be transparent to see the backgound of that image. The background of the
image is not a constant color.

That might make a neat effect, but alas unfortunately not. Now that Aero
transparency is a part of Vista and Windows 7, I think this might be a
feature request for the next version of Access. Perhaps it might be worth
submitting to the Access Team:
