all the text boxes in my little 1-form program come up with invisible contents
when i run the program sometimes but not other times. some pc's it works,
on other it doesn't, and on others it seems to vary.

when it works sometimes, it will work from the VB "play" button, then if i do
a make exe, and run from the play button again, they are invisible.

the contents are still there and function properly.  i have never had this
probem in the many similar apps i've done. it seems to only misbehave on
windows 3.x machines, not win 95.

i don't play with the visible setting, or the colors, or the font (arial).

any ideas? PLEASE!?

well, it seems it is a problem (bug?) with multi-line text boxes under
windows 3.1. when i set muti-line back to false it fixes the problem.
has anyone else found this or if it's just me, what am i doing wrong?

incidentally i used the multi-line setting purely becuase (and the
help file documents this), the alignment property only works with
multi-line. why on earth is this?

any response this time folks? please...
