Outline Font

[Kempes]

I think I already know what the answer is going to be, but is there a way of putting an outline around the text on a form so it stand out.

The problem I have is that I have our company Logo as the background and I want the font colour to be consistent. It is white, however there is a small area on the backround which is white. This causes the text to be unreadable.

I don't want to put a box around the field or change the background of the text box, or the colour of the text (Due to the look and feel of the form).

Does anyone know if this is possible.

Thanks
Kempes

Not quite sure I understand, but can't you just set the borderstyle of the label or text box to solid and then you can change the color and thickness of the borders to yours hearts content!

I could, but I would lose the look of the form I want.

I know I'm being picky but it is only one text box that is causing me greif.

The feel of the form looks and acts like a web page. This company are not too fond of access and much prefer SQL or Oracle, so to capture their eye I have purposly set it up to look nothing like a typical access form.

Could you post a picture and explain, maybe that would help.

Attached is a picture of a form that I did for a project. One of many forms which is now being used in a clinical system.
