I've got a functional database which I am trying to spruce up with some
graphics. There are three parts: header, body, and footer. The body
is one line of data, under which I have placed an image. When I view
the database the body part duplicates itself as expected throughout the
space between the header and footer, but the graphic does not duplicate
with it. Is there some bonehead mistake I am making? How do I get the
graphic to repeat with the part?

TIA!

Make sure the graphic "starts" in the body and is not touching the header in
any way. Zoom in and/or use the Size palette (set to pixels) to verify. You
can also click on the graphic and use the arrow keys to "nudge" it down one
pixel at a time.

Note, a graphic *can* extend *below* a part, and it's sometimes necessary to
do this in order to create a seamless background.

That was exactly it! I nudged it down one pixel and it works
perfectly. I knew it had to be something totally easy like that.
Thanks so much!

Be aware that using graphics (especially background graphics) can make
the screen updates slow. On older computers and across a network it can
be rather annoying.

Yeah, definitely. But this is only going to be used on superfast
computers running on a gigagit ethernet network. Thanks.

Try it before hand.

Even on superfast computers running on a gigabit net it will still
noticeably flicker.

There are other ways of "highlighting" the current record without
resorting to background graphics containers.
