Malcolm,

About the only thing I see that you could to get rid of it is to set the BorderStyle=0 and use a shape object to draw a transparent box around your textbox coordinates. Turning off themes, even for only that textbox looks far worse as it's a heavy gray border on the NW sides and a light gray border on the SE sides.
