form design issues - Access2007

[rocco]

Hello Access 2007 here, 2 quick questions:
1) how can I manage comboboxes do NOT change background on exit? It seems
that by default, once you exit the control it kind of make its background
transparent, even if either backcolor or backstyle values didn't change, I
ckecked.

2) I'm noticing that after starting typing in an unbound form, the labels
text seems kind of bolder, not looking "regular" as when the form opened. I
read some years ago something about issues regarding memory licking that can
cause weird *things*. Does anyone know something more accurate?

thanks,
rocco

These are known issues in Access 2007.

Firstly, make sure you have installed Service Pack 2 for Office 2007:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...18-79ea-46c6-8a81-9db49b4ab6e5&displaylang=en

Then apply this hotfix as well to solve #1:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/974995

If #2 doesn't get solved along the way, see if using a different font in the
labels helps.
