Disappearing labels and other controls

[ruan567]

Hi guys,

I have an input form that exhibits strange behaviour. If I click on the background form or on certain controls while the form is waiting for input, some of the controls disappear. When I click on the area where I know (for example where a textbox was) it'll appear again?

Anybody have any ideas?

Can you post a sample database with your problem form in?

RE: Disappearing controls

The smallest I can get it is 108kb. (even compressed and compacted and all data stripped from table)

So I can't upload it, the maximum size is 100kb.

Hi, thanks for trying to help.

I had another look, and what I did was the following:

I have a form. On top of the form I have my input boxes (directly on the form) and my labels. The form is filled with a background colour . This works fine.
Afterwards, I drew a frame around the controls, set the background to normal (as opposed to transparent), and selected a background colour. The frame is then on top of the controls, so I send it back. I changed the frame to not be a tabstop, and under onclick there's nothing. But for some reason, it still seems that if you click on the background of the frame, the frame comes forward, which is very strange. Can I perhaps use something like

if frame clicked
send frame back to where it belongs or maybe losefocus or something?

It is impractical for me to bring the controls forward, as there are way too many of them scattered throughout the database that does this.

Have you zipped the database as well? If you still can't get it small enough, just import the problem form into a blank database, zib that and post it.
