Access 97 working with pictures

[erodjob]

I have a database in which I have added a picture to use as a template. On top of the picture, I have added check boxes and lables. The problem is that when I switch to form view I cannot see the fields. If i click on Tap the field appears and I can enter data but, as soon as i hit tap again the previous field disapears.

My questions is:

Is there a way to make all the controls appear "on top" of the form?

Thanks

By Tap I think you mean Tab.

Sounds like you've placed an ole object on top of your form - your picture, and it's obscuring all your fields. You're able to get into the text boxes because you're tabbing into them.

Assuming you intended a background image - open up the form in design mode and go into properties under the Format tab.
Take a look at the various 'Picture' properties.

You might also look at the 'Transparent' object available for just about any control you can place onto a form.
