Form Background - Transparent

[GraemeG]

Hello,

I have seen a Module code and then onform load code to make form transparent, however this did not seem to work for me, just made the form look greyed over.

Is there anything out there that can be done to make just the form background colour transparent?

Thanks

To my knowledge, not in Access. Access doesn't render with transparency. You might be able to do it by subclassing the window, but this would be a very involved project if you haven't worked with the Windows API before.

if you use .NET this is possible and quite easy, but you would have to redo your project in that case.

How about a TRANSLUCENT form?

Thanks.
Yes I had managed to carryout a module for transluscent form.
It was more just the background colour that I wanted transparent.
