really stupid excel labels quesion :)

[nooro]

I have a few vb Labels on an excel worksheet that are set to be backStyle = 0 (transparent). I want to use them as exactly that, a label. Problem is, when I click on the label, it becomes opaque and shows the backColour through until I move my cursor away.

Am I doing something stupid? Is it too much to ask for vba to keep my label transparent? Is there something I should be using instead of the label object?

Thanks in advance.
