Glitch in viewing a form.

[Maverick]

I'm not sure how to phrase this. I have a form that just plain gets messed up
looking. Sometimes it will be fine and others it will "shift" things around.
Some of the fields on the form will shift downward and there will be grey
space above them. It's hard to find where to click on the form as things
aren't in their proper place.

This doesn't happen all the time, but most of the time. Sometimes when I
click around on the form it will correct itself and others it is still messed
up but just a different messed up.

Another issue, that may or may not be related, is that sometimes the
backcolor of some of my controls changes from white to the back color of the
form. This happens despite whether I use code to force the color or use the
formatting under properties.

These glitches are giving me a twitch. Hopefully I've explained it well
enough for those in the know to help me out.

Thanks.

The first thing I would check is the page setup. Go to file/page setup and
check your paper size. If the form is larger than the paper size, it will
cause these types of errors. The color problem, I have no idea.

This is a form, not a report. It's looking messed up on the screen.
