Issue with background image on form

[sbrookebounds]

I have a form that has tabs in the body. When I designed it on my computer, I put a background image then made the tabs transparent. It works well on my computer, but I just had my assistant open it on hers, and the tabs are showing with a white background instead of my background image. Why would this change from one computer to the next? We both have MS Office 2007. I have Windows 7 and she has Windows 2003.



Thanks!

it would change if the image was linked. is it? if so, the link is broken because she doesn't have the picture file in the specified location like you do.

The thing is, the picture shows up on the header and footer of her form, but the tabs show up as white like they are sitting on top of the form. No it is not a linked photo.

trying doing a "send to back" operation on all of your tabs. do you know how to do that? right click on controls and choose that option. It could be that the image that's embedded into the detail section of your form has a lower z index than any and/or all of your tab controls.

I think, but don't quote me, that Access creates higher z-index numbers by default, each time a control is added to a form. Thus, if you place a newer-added control exactly over an older-added control on the same form, the newer one shows up on top by default.
