Form problem

I have a form that was created in Designer 7.0. The PTB wanted the background image to disappear preprint and reappear postprint, which I have done, but in doing so I had to place the image in an image field. Now when the end-user clicks outside of the text fields, they get a dialog box asking them to select an image file.
Any idea on how to disable this function while still maintaining the other dynamic properties (text fields, print form button).

Thanks for any help.

You can use a regular "image" element and set it's "presence" (on the Object > Draw tab) to "Visible(Screen Only)". If this strategy is giving you problems then try wrapping it in a subform and setting the subform's presence to "Visible(Screen Only)".Thom Parker

You can also put a square over the image field without borders and fill color.

Hmm, after going back and looking at LC 7 I see what you mean, there isn't an option for (Screen Only). However, it works in Acrobat 7 exactly the same as it works in Acrobat 8. The print only/screen only options are controled with an attribute to the tag.Do this:
1. Select the image
2. open up the XML Source view
3. Add this attribute to the tagrelevant="-print"

That should fix it up.
