How to make Combobox text background transparent when selected

[ssecca]

I am setting up a form with few comboboxes. I want to make the text background (not the field) transparent when selected.

I've tried the following but it doesn't work:

On Got Focus
me.combobox1.backstyle = Transparent
On Lost Focus
me.combobox1.backstyle = Normal

Please advise

Please advise

See: BackStyle property (Access)

On Got Focus
    me.combobox1.backstyle = 0 '0 = Transparent
On Lost Focus
    me.combobox1.backstyle = 1 ' 1 = Normal

Keep in mind that the control will not be transparent when it got focus

you can't make the backstyle to transparent when in focus.
try changing the Backcolor, same as the detail color.
