background and backstyle

[Carlos]

Please tell me how to change the background color of a option box on a
form. Here is code we are using. The border changes color but we cannot
get the option box to turn white

If IsNull(Me!soapp4) Then
Me.optsoapp4.BorderColor = vbRed
Me.optsoapp4.BackColor = vbWhite
Me.optsoapp4.BackStyle = vbNormal
Me.Page3.SetFocus
Me.optsoapp4.SetFocus
End If

thanks in advance, Carlos

What do you mean by "option box"?

If you mean an Option Group then that should work.

If you mean a Toggle Button, Option Button or a Check Box,
then you can not set those properties.

However, you said that you can set the BorderColor, so I
don't know what you mean.

Make sure the Option Group BackStyle is set to Normal (not
Transparent).
