Thanks Dawn: Congratulation on your well deserved award!!! Unfortunately, in this case the background is a photo...hence the transparent option would be the only one that would work, as I cannot set the variable background to a single color...

On the Effects tab, check Visible Frame and uncheck all the boxes in Frame Sides section. (Alternately, you can set the frame color to the same color as your form.) I really don't understand the Visible Frame thing, but I've found that the above steps make a variable edit look like a variable label. Don't forget to set it to Read Only and uncheck the Enabled field. Dawn _____
From: Javier Valencia [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 26, 2005 3:36 PM To: RBG7-L Mailing List Subject: [RBG7-L] - Form Question I need to display a non-editable variable in a form but I want the display to look like a variable label, i.e. no box around the variable and transparent, so the value displays as plain text over the background, is there a way that I can do this? I have also thought of setting it as variable label but I do not believe that there is a way to update the text of the variable label with code (PROPERTY....TEXTVALUE...). TIA.
