Report field prints white on black

[bestbapu]

I have a report that retrieves a value from a lookup table based upin the
code in the primary table. That field (the lookup value) prints white on
black yet all the other fields from the primary table print black on white.

Any ideas on how to stop this from happening?

TIA.

IMO, don't ever use lookup fields. If you want to display a value in a
report, add the table containing the value to the report's record source.

I expect your control is a list box. Change it to a text box bound to the
actual field you want to display. If you can't or won't do this, change the
list box to a combo box.

Does the machine have a special Theme set up?
