Something is appearing on my user's report but not on my report (both running
same version). What could cause this?
The report is rather complex. There are rows of 60 controls, each loaded
from a separate column in the row. The data contains a color code and a
character code separated by a colon. These bound controls have the background
color and the foreground color set the same so the characters are not visible.
The report also contains a set of unbound controls exactly overlaying the
bound controls. Still with me?
These unbound controls have the backstyle set to transparent so the
background color of the bound controls shows through.
Using the contents of the bound controls, my 'on format' code places
characters in the unbound controls and sets the color - these are the
characters to actually display.
This all works perfectly EXCEPT that my user is seeing on her report the
colon characters from the bound controls. I don't see them at all. Nothing
should be seen from these since the forecolor and background color is the
same. I'm wondering if it could be some Access or Windows system setting?
Any clues?
