Text On Forms Becomes Blurry/Bold

[Joshua]

Hi everyone,

I have an interesting problem that I can't find a solution to. Once a form
has focus for a few seconds, some of the text becomes blurry and slightly
bold. There is no code on the form that would cause this to happen. I was
wondering if anyone has seen a bug like this before. This only happens on
some computers that use the database. I am using Office 2003.

Thanks in advance,
Joshua

Did you check at the Search sites?

I've never heard of this happening before. Well, actually, it happened to
me, once, but it turned out it was me, not the computer ... I'd apparently
overdosed on caffiene! The folks at the clinic got a good chuckle out of
that one!

I had this happen to me. The labels were transparent background. Changing
color of the text boxes to match the background color solved my problem with
this.

I don't think that would explain why it happens on some machines and not
others. I'd think that it was a problem with either:

1. video driver
2. video card
3. Monitor

I'd check them out in that order.
