    Remove the slighty shaded border on ActiveX Text Boxes

    The default ActiveX text box has a slightly shaded border. Is there any way to remove it completely so the text box looks invisible against a white background?

    Hello perducci,

    In Design Mode, look at the properties page of the TextBox. Change the property "SpecialEffect" to fmSpecialEffectFlat.
    Sincerely,
    Leith Ross
