Why in the Access form, some data are always highlighted in black?
These are list boxes, with the height so small that only one row is visible.
That row is selected, hence highlighted.

I have a report with a table in it. And each table cell has borders around it.
The problem I'm experiencing is that if I hide the textbox in any of the cells, the borders also disappear.
I want the textbox to hide but still show the borders.
The textbox in question shows the visibility toggle icons (+/-) so I can't use an iif statement to change the textbox's value to be an empty string when I don't want to see anything in it.
You can place the textbox inside a rectangle.
***So , I was having this same issue:* **
The Problem:
I assume that you placed a border around your text box and decided to place the hide and toggle element to your text box. or your Rows are not stepped down. Two solutions, I think the first solution is what you are looking for:
Solution 1:
I Noticed that SRSS reporting also has this grouping feature by rows. So to hide the text in the textbox without losing borders is to create a step-down feature within the grouping. So basically you can assign hide text box property without disturbing the rows above the textbox. This may be a better solution.
Solution 2:
You must instead place the border attribute to your text box and place the hide and toggle function on the individual groups. So for you, you have to remove the hide + toggle feature on the textbox. Right click the group element in your "rows" or "columns" and assign your drilldown hide + toggle feature on the group elements. In other words: "group properties" not "text box properties"
I hope this re-solve your issue.
I ran into the same issue. I solved it by changing the text color to white (or whatever the background color of the textbox is). I was doing this inside a table, and couldn't find a way to insert a textbox inside of a rectangle as stated in the other answer...
I had similar problem and used similar approach like #Anony Mous, but instead of changing text color to background color I used expression to change text value =IIF(InScope("RowGroup") = "True", Fields!Textboxvalue.Value, "") - and it works as expected.
Problem with background color change is that, if user unintendely select the text and makes it active, it become visible.
Just select the Textbox in question, run F4 (to access to the properties chart at the right side of VS or SQL), select the HideDuplicates dropdown and Select the Data Set that you are using :)
We have a report that gets populated by stored procedure. In the datatable we have a column "RowType" which is set to either 1, 2 or 3.
1 : Normal data row
2 : Important data row (In the picture this is the 1st row of data, the bold one)
3 : Devider rows. These are the rows with which we are having some issues. They are the two rows at the bottom of the image with the grey background.
The entire report is styled by either the "RowType" value or some of the other items in the datatable.
The Problem:
We have decided to change our report to make use of grouping, instead of drill down reports. I'm not going to go into the reasons for this decision.
The grouped rows each have a little icon to the left of it (Generated by report server) which is used to view the details of that row.(Sorry about that, pretty sure you know all this).
I have coded the "expand icon" to be hidden on rows that does not have detailed/grouped data, but that left me with the problem that the grey column would now also be hidden which leaves me with a blank white space instead of the grey cell.
Obviously this makes my report look horrible. Is there any way to remove the icon for a particular row without setting the Hidden property to True?
If not, is there a way to have the report row fill the background of a hidden cell with a defined colour?
The bottom right corner contains an example of what it looks like when one of the grey cells have been hidden. The bottom left shows the report with the unwanted icons in the grey cells
I think you could cut your current textbox out (the one with the +- icon, then add a rectangle from the toolbox into that cell, then paste your textbox back in. That way the texbox becomes a child of the rectangle. Then you can move your grey formatting to the rectangle, which will never be hidden.
I am having a problem placing a border around a single TextBox. For some reason when I put a border around it, SSRS Applies the border to plenty of other TextBoxes in the same area.
I have a TextBox that is part of a Group That is part of Tablix. I am doing the following
Right clicking the TextBox
Clicking TextBox Properties
Clicking Border
Clicking the outline preset / manually clicking each border in the preview.
Clicking OK.
After I do this, the border style is applied to any TextBox this TextBox I right clicked on touches.
I thought it might have something to do with the TextBox being in the group, so as an experiment, I got rid of the borders and set just the back color. That worked as expected. - Just the single TextBox had the back color.
This doesn't make any sense. Why aren't borders being applied to the single TextBox?
Today, during my search I saw your question as I was having the same problem.
I solved this problem for myself and now I am submitting an answer here so that others can use it.
Follow these steps:
Click on TextBox to which you have to give boarder.
Then, go to the Property Sheet which is on the right side of your IDE window. It will show all properties of the selected textbox.
Change Border property value in the Property Sheet
Now, you will see that the Border value(s) you specified in the Property Sheet has been applied only to the selected textbox, not to other text boxes.
Hope it will work for others just like it worked for me.
I have a continuous form that contains a drop down box whos control source is the id of a record in a support table. The bound column is this support element id. The row source of the drop down list is a query that gets 2 text fields based on the id in the bound column... the first text field is simply text that is displayed... the 2nd text field is a color. these are actual number color codes for access that the user can enter in by changing the color of a box and saving that particular color
for each of the records in the continuous form, they have one of these levels... Blank, Red Yellow or Green... I want the field that displays the color name to have its background color changed to the color that is in the 3rd column of the drop down...
Any ideas?
You're looking for Conditional Formatting. This article will explain how to use Conditional Formatting to do pretty much whatever you want with the background colors:

Ok so I add all these text boxes on an unbound form, and everytime you open a form, it sort of jumps to the first text box so you can enter some information into it.
How do I get rid of that, because I do not want it to auto jump to the first text box when the form opens...i do not want it to jump to any text box when the form open at all.
thanks
You will have to decide where you do want it to go, because it has to go somewhere. You can control where will tab order, set focus, and autotab.
I have just checked, and the best thing to do is to set the textboxes Enabled property to No and the Locked property to Yes.
The default behavior is of course for the cursor to move into the first control that you’ve set up in the tab order.
Assuming you still want some sensible tab order in the form, then place a zero length text box in the forms headder. Remove the tab stop setting (other tab in property sheet). You might as well set this box transparent also.
Then in the forms on-load event, simply go:
Me.NameOfTextBoxinFormsHedaing.SetFocus
If I read your question correctly it seems that you do not want any of your textboxes on the form to have the focus on opening the form.
What you need to do in this instance is to create a new unbound textbox on your form, and then make this unbound the first item in the form's tab order. Then resize the unbound textbox to 0 height and 0 width, making it invisible.
