Hi all,

I want to insert a picture in the background of my form; however i dont want
it load over my text, combo and field boxes. Any ideas? Thank you!

you can use "send to back" option for the picture but unless you are pushed
in to it by someone I wouldn't do it, first of it's added weight if it's
embeded picture, if you link it then you need to worry about the connection,
then position is always an issue, and it makes things look more complicated
then they are.
I never use any background pictures for my screens, mine background is
always white with light blue borders of text boxes, combos and so on and
darker blue for fonts... its simple yet elegant, at least in my eyes, but
that is just me.
Remember to K.I.S.S.!!

Good luck

Where is the "send to back" option? By the way, I agree with you about the
background but i just wanted to experiment & learn.

Thanks
 
once you go to the design of the form, click once on the picture and then go
to the menu Format option, and towards the bottom you will see two options,
send to front and send to back... this allows you to layer items how you want
to.
