Text box backstyle on focus

[NachoMan]

Hello all,
I have a memo field which has the backstyle set as transparent. I have some objects behind the memo field which I need the user to be able to see as they type into the memo field. When the memo field gets focus, however, the backstyle returns to Normal (opaque) and the objects are no longer viewable. I was wondering if anyone knew how I could keep the memo field text box transparent even when it has the focus. I don't see "backstyle" as an available property when the txt box has the focus. Any hint, tricks would be greatly appreciated.

Go to the design view , click the memo field , go to Format ¨ sent to back, and save .

Depending on the objects that you want to keep visible, this might do what you want, albeit it's not very elegant.

Not if I understand you correctly

Are you saying to just send the memo field behind the objects? That is what I already have done, but as soon as the memo field itself has the focus, the background becomes opaque again. Setting the memo field's backstyle to transparent and sending it to the back is fine as long as it doesn't have the focus.
