transparent list box?

[jguscs]

Is there any way I can set my list box so that its background color is transparent?

You could define the back color to match your form. If it truly were transparent, whatever is behind it would make the text harder to read.

I intended to have an embedded picture show through the list box, which is why I wanted a transparent list box.
As for the text, I have it bolded. No problem to read.

Is there any way to make list boxes transparent?

Not with the generic Access listbox. You may find, online, an ActiveX ontrol that someone may have created that suits your purpose.

Really.
OK, say I find an ActiveX control that mirror's the function of a normal list box plus the ability to have it with a transparent background...
How (easily) can I "embed" it into my DB and use it?
Are there security concerns?
