I have a series of check boxes in a VBA program where I have color
coded the backgrounds to simplify the interface. When they do not
have the focus, the background to the text labels will frequently
match that of the rest of the backgrounds. More often, however, the
background to the text labels remains a distracting white color.

Is there a property that I can set to assure that the text background
always reflects the general background of my worksheet?
