Thanks Tony, I appreciate the reply, but the procedure still doesn't run correctly.
I had my bg style set to numerics first, then decided to try text settings (normal/transparent) based on something I saw in a help file, but neither works. Even when I set it to 1, all the labels decide to become transparent instead.
Any more ideas as to what might be going wrong here? I've been testing, tweaking, and retesting for a week, and I know I must be overlooking something but I can't fathom what. Thanks to all who read, and thanks in advance for any further replies!!
