I'm having trouble with fields added to forms. I set the color of fields to white, and the background color of the form to something else. But the fields change unexpectedly to match the background color of the form. In some cases I've even seen both display together, resulting in a kind of striped appearance.

The color often changes when I click inside the field or move the cursor outside the field. I've looked through the properties for the fields and can't identify the problem. Can anyone help?

Thank you

Oh, and is it any control or just combo boxes?

Thanks for the quick response. The Back Style is set to normal. I had to give the other question some thought, but, yes, I believe this is happening with combo boxes.
