    Are you changing it on the controls property sheet or are you trying to change it with VBA code.
    If this helped, please click the star at the bottom left of this posting and add to my reputation . Many thanks.

    What type can you not change? Some have settings but changing them has no effect - e.g. checkbox.
    The more we hear silence, the more we begin to think about our value in this universe.
