Thanx to all that have helped me, i've now finished the database and i'm tring to make it pretty. I have the comapny logo as a paint shop pro image with a transparent background and i'm tring to put it on the form. i have saved it as several formats and inserted it as an image and i have also copied &pasted it, but it comes out with a white background. Can anybody help?

Ive had probs with this too and had to resign myself to having the background colour as same as the forms. Take a look at http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/ubb/Forum1/HTML/002047.html and http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/ubb/Forum4/HTML/000144.html for some additional info.
