    Text Box Border Not displaying


    I cannot get the border on any of my text box controls to display unless I set the point value to 3 point or greater.

    Is your form in datasheet view?

    No, it is a single form.

    If border style is sold and effect is flat, then you should be able to see it even if the width property is as small as hairline. Perhaps you've chosen 'chisled' or some other style that doesn't work well with small width values. If that's not it, then sorry, no idea. You could copy the db, compact, zip and post it here if no one else can help.

    Border Style is solid, Border color is #000000, special effect is flat.

    Interestingly enough, if I use a Border color of "Text Dark", the border appears.

    Try adding a new control with those properties. It's not unheard of for a control to become corrupted. If that doesn't fix it, then the only other thing I can think of is that your resolution is so high that it takes a higher border thickness to show, but that's just a wild guess. It's not like I've ever heard of that happening. At that point in the absence of a posted db I'd say I have nothing else to suggest.

    I have added a new control. It has the same results. My resolution is 3840 X 2160, but shouldn't Microsoft deal with that properly? I know, I Know . . .
    At this point, since I have a work around, I think I will just let it lie. Thanks for all your assistance.

    You said it shows up when the border setting is 3 points. What is the Form Background Color setting, 'Background Form'? If the background color is White #FFFFFF then it shows up even when the border color setting is 'Hairline'.

    I have had many issues with Access on a 4K monitor, to the point where I gave up trying to use it on "full" resolution.
    It's a bit rubbish to be honest.
