I'm having a very interesting problem. I am using the switchboard manager and have created a switchboard. there's a graphic as the background, which is the most back layer (I sent it to the back). in addition to that I have a label.
The problem:
A new form pops up from clicking a button on the switchboard (automatically generated by access) and covers the label. after I close the form, the part of the label that has been covered by the other form is gone, just the background is there.
Some observations I've made:
-only the part that is covered disappears. So let's that that it's a "A" and when the new form opens I cover the top half of the "A". Then, after closing it, i would still see the bottom half of the "A."
-this only happens when the form or whatever is opened is opened by clicking a button on the switchboard. So, if I were on the switchboard and moved focus to another form that was already open and covered it, the label would still be visible after I go back to the switchboard
-I experimented a bit and found out that it only happens when it is on top on the graphic. So, if the label were only partially on top of the graphic (half on, half off) and it were to be covered, only the portion that was on top of the graphic would disappear. the part of the label that isn't on top of the graphic is still visible.
I suspect that it's just a bug, but I'm hoping there's some way to get around it. It's not really a big deal, but as you can imagine, it's pretty annoying.
Also, I am using Access 2003.

If it is, we also have to figure something else out.
