Interesting VB6 quirk...
I have a small VB app that I created to replace an older form letter that was previously in use here at work. Basically it allows users to select whatever fields they want included in the letter, fill in some blanks, and then only the applicable fields are shown on the printout. There is only one copy of this application that the users have access to, and it is stored on one of our servers.

On the form that is printed, I have several labels that I use for the actual printed output. I simply change their visibility to 'True' if the user wants that particular field printed, and move it to the appropriate location on the form. I never modify the foreground or background color of these labels anywhere in my code.

My problem is this: one of my users (for some reason) prints out nothing but solid black where these labels should be. I went into the design view of the form, and all of the labels (and the frames that they are contained in) have solid black backcolors. Now, it's not hard to just change the backcolor of the labels, but what confuses me is that any other user can pull up the exact same application and the labels have the correct backcolor.

I don't think the problem is in the code, so is it possible that there's some sort of setting either in Word or in the VBA on this user's computer that is wrong?
