>>>Good morning Borislav;

>>>Thank you for your response. The report textbox does not have an Opaque option as does a Form. I am using VFP 6.0 at work. Do later versions have this option for a report?

>>>I just tried to delete the FoxUser files with the hope that would resolve the problem. However that did nothing to solve the issue.

>>>It seems strange that the textbox background color appears in design mode but not in preview or print modes. That must be a clue! :)
>>>
>>>The fact that I can no longer create a Report with the option of using a colored background seems to indicate that something has been corrupted. The question is what?
>>>
>>>Any other suggestions?

>>In the report designer select the textbox. Then go to the menu Format/Mode. There you'll see Opaque/Transparent
