Icon Troubles

[StockBreak]

Hi, this is my first message on this forum !
I have a little problem with my Access 2000 (with 2003 too on another compuer), in fact when I put an icon on a page of my Tab Control, the background of that icon is white and not transparent (the file I use is an "ico" file and so it HAS a transparent background, anyway I treid all the possible file types); the strange thing is that when I put an icon on a button, the icon is shown properly. Here is an image of my problem:

Thank you,

See if this link helps at all.

Thanks for your answer but, as you can see in the attached image on my first post, if I use my icons as a background for buttons or other controls, the image is shown correctly; the bug only happens when I use them on tab controls...

Did you actually TRY to use the solution before posting back?

Yes, but since I need to use them in Tab Controls icons, I actually have to load them from a file and so I can't copy/pase from Word.

P.S: as you can see in the first image, I am using the standard Access icons for my tests (plane, notebook, etc...).

what does 'bump bump' signify

I think he was trying to get the post back up to the the top of the list. Irritating isn't it?

maybe its just one of those 'quirks' of Access

You said it - the Tab control doesn't work like most of the other controls or objects in Access and so things like this are one of those irritating things to put up with. I have gone to not using graphics on the tab controls because of that. There may be work-arounds, but I avoid them as it is too much work for something that really doesn't add that much to the user experience (in my opinion).

Bumping a post is not a forbidden action...

Thank you! I knew that there was something strange about tab controls' images. I will use only texts
