Is there anyway I can make a from's backgroud transparent to blend with
Accesss' background color. I do not like to use the DoCmd.Maximize to
maximize my forms to hide the form that it was opened by because my controls
are always off centered. Is there anyway I can make a forms' background
transparent. Open to any suggestions other than transparenting a forms'
background.

Even if it were possible (don't think it is) wouldn't that limit you to one
form open at a time? What if there were already another form or report
open? That object would show through a transparent form making it
impossible to use.

Why is it important that every form obscure the form that opened it? You
can make the called form modal so that the user is forced to close it before
they can go back to the previous form if that is what you're worried about.
 
Thanx Rick that makes sense. The reason I don not use Modal sometimes is
because it limits some actions that I would like make available. But your
right your theory does make sense. Thanx Again!
