I am working through Julitta Korol's Access 2000 programming by example. I
have Office 2007. I made the folder with northwind a trusted location and am
trying to do the very first exercise which is to make ContactName in the
Customers form change backcolor on Got Focus. I have entered Private Sub
ContactName_GotFocus()
Me.ContactName.BackColor = 65280
End Sub as requested through the GotFocus Event and nothing happens when the
cusor goes into contactName. Please help as I want to learn this stuff. I am
a good access suer with some knowledeg of event etc but I just want to work
through the book and not miss anything but I can't even start.
 
if you have Office 2007, it must be a beta copy, correct? i believe there's
a newsgroup for beta users, perhaps you should post there. for those of us
waiting for the official release of A2007, we've no way of knowing what
changes in the software might affect "how things are done". good luck!

Tina,

The Access 2007 Beta is available to the public, and as such the public
newsgroups are the valid forum for discussion.

Having said that, I don't know the answer to Nigccbh1's question either.
