overlay transparent background images to form composite image

[raileyb]

In my form, I have a series of overlayed linked images that combine to form what looks kind of like a dart board, with bands of different colors in different positions. These colors change based on user input and I change the 'look' by setting one band to invisible and another to visible. This works well for the user inside the form. But I have found that during print preview of the form (and during print preview of a similiar report), the individual, overlapping images, all lose their transparent background and all I see is the 'topmost' layer because it's background is now white and obscuring the lower levels from view.
I'm using linked images, and it's not complaining about not finding them or anything. They are bmp files.


Can anyone tell me what this problem is? and offer a solution.

Thanks,

Brian

Have you tried changing the BackStyle property from "normal" to "transparent"?

Hi,
Oh, I wish it was that easy... Yes, all the image objects have 'transparent' as their background style.

Thanks anyway though!
