Simplified the whole thing.
I have a form with 2 images on it, one a flower, the other is transparent
with an outline of a boat on it. The boat is partially covering the flower.
Perfect, the whole of the flower can be seen with the boat outline across the
corner. Identical set up with a report. In design view again perfect...
however in print preview, the transparent portion of the boat becomes white
and obscures the flower underneath. Seems a definate bug
