I am using Access 2000.
I would like to change the backgrount to tranparent on list boxes on several
forms as well as to centre the text in the boxes.

I use the formatting tools to selct the transparent backgrount and centered
text but the changes do not take place.

Any and all help will be appreciated.

How are you doing that?
List boxes do not have a text align or a back style property

In the form view, you can access the properties but they won't take.

If you are in form view nothing will "take"  You have to be in design view,
but still I don't understand, because the List Box control doesn't have a
text align or a back style property.
Which properties are you setting?
Are you sure you are on the correct control?

I know from experience that nothing will take from the form view. However,
the properties' list for the list box (in the design view) does show a back
colour and a centre format feature but they won't take either.

It appears that my question has been answered. The list boxes don't have
those properties. So, onward and upward.

Thanks for you time and assistance.
