>Two things:

To verify, you could add a test code in the Click event of the label and use message box to display the value of the label BackColor as well as the PageFrame. That would tell you whether they are identical or not? If not, clearly something (code) is changing it.

I found the problem. It's because I have Themes=.T. at the pageframe level. So, that changes the view of the backcolor of the pageframe control but its backcolor value doesn't change. Do you know what to do with that?
