I have created a form that has 120 transparent images on it. By that I mean
that each image is basically a line drawing with lettering on it. So for
example I have an image 2cm wide and 4cm high. The transparent part of this
image can quite happily overlap an underlying image without obliterating it.
Obvioisly if the two sets of letters cross each other, there is a bit of a
mess at the crossing point. My problem comes when I try to print the form
when this transparency seems to vanish. Plan B was to make an identical
report, but the same problem occurs. The Image.BackStyle is set to
transparent as is the .BorderStyle, but the Background of the image appears
to be white opaque. Is this a bug?
How do I get over it?
Thanks
Phil

Simplified the whole thing.
I have a form with 2 images on it, one a flower, the other is transparent
with an outline of a boat on it. The boat is partially covering the flower.
Perfect, the whole of the flower can be seen with the boat outline across the
corner. Identical set up with a report. In design view again perfect...
however in print preview, the transparent portion of the boat becomes white
and obscures the flower underneath. Seems a definate bug
