How to change font color in a form?

[Jamesiv1]

Can't find this for the life of me.

All I want to do is change the font color and weight of a couple of columns in a form. No conditions or change when button is pressed or anything like that. Just be blue and stay blue.

I've tried making it a memo, rich-text field and it didn't work.

It works fine in the "member details" form, but not the "member list" form.

Help?

txtBox.ForeColor = vbRed

txtBox.ForeColor = vbRed

Thanks ranman256, but I'm a total rookie. Can you tell me where that line goes?

Sorry...I just had a guy ask.."what is a field?"

Tho, I thought you wanted to color it during an event.

But If it's a permanent color in the form ....design the form, dbl-click the textbox to see properties, set FORE COLOR
or click the FONT COLOR button on the toolbar..see photo.

Did you try setting the ForeColor property of the textbox? That looks like Datasheet View. Apparently, the property is ignored in Datasheet View.

Can use Continuous View and arrange controls to look like Datasheet.

thanks June7. In properties I see:

default view: split form
split form orientation: datasheet on bottom
split form printing: datasheet only

yes... when I switch to continuous forms for default view, it looks fine.

so you're saying I have to arrange the controls to look like a datasheet? I just tried it with one field, and it only showed the 1st record, not all of them...?

meh... no big deal. I can live with it. I figure the users will open up the member card most of the time, anyway - it looks fine on the member card.

thanks guys!
