Hi All,
I've created a form and placed various fields (textboxes) on it, along with their associated labels, by default all controls are enabled and unlocked and all controls have identical formatting. When certain criteria are met, VBA code (which treats all the controls in question, exactly the same) will disable some fields (and by default their associated labels) which is fine, except for one thing - the appearance of some of the now disabled labels. Some disabled labels take on a 'flat gray' appearance, whilst other disabled labels adopt an 'etched' appearance. The mixture of the two very different appearances is extremely off-putting to say the least. I cannot for the life in me figure out what is wrong and why I have some disabled labels with an 'etched' appearance, and other disbaled lables with a 'flat grey' appearance - I want them all to adopt the 'etched' look when disabled. The textboxes themselves are fine, no problem there, it's only their accosiated labels that are adopting the two differfent appearances when disabled. I have been wrestling with this issue for nearly two weeks now and have got exactly nowhere, it's driving me to distraction and I'm beginning to think its nothing I'm doing wrong.
The font used with the controsl is Calibri (detail). But I've tried several other fonts with exactly the same result.
I'm using Access 2010 64bit on Windows 7 Prof. Can anyone - please - shed some light on this very odd behaviour?
Thanks in advance.
