    Ok, I have re-read your post and thought about it some more. Knowing your level here, i will break this down.

    You could define the back color to match your form. If it truly were transparent, whatever is behind it would make the text harder to read.

    Need help with look ups and combo boxes

    Take the names from a combo box and use an option group for the report selection. Useing a comob box for the names allows you to add or remove employess from the system without changing the form itself. Useing option groups for the report selection would allow you to use the same report in...

    Look up box?

    Keep in mind that the default for Access XP is actually Access 2000. You literally have to change it to 2002 mdb if you would want to take advantages of any of the few changes that were made. Anything you develop in 2002 should be based on the 2000 system.
