>Hi Terry. Did you ever get this issue resolved? I am having the same problem. It seems that all of my labels with transparent backgrounds will go to a "fuzzy bold" when you start clicking around on a form with a page frame.

Debra,

Does a Refresh() (or anything forcing a redraw of the controls) make them go back to normal? That was the issue I had a few years ago and figured out it was just my video card. The issue wouldn't occur on other machines.

HTH,
Chad
