Hi,

When I select all in my A2000 form memo box, the highlight color is black.

How can I change this highlight colour to say grey or yellow ?

TIA
 
The highlight colour is black because the text is black (the text turns
white when highlighted).

To change the highlight colour, change the colour of the text, to grey or
yellow. You may need to change the back colour of the memo box to
accommodate the change also (to make the text readable).

I have found this default in access 2000 to be very
dangerous. When you click on a memo box all the data is
selected resulting in easy accidental deletion. What I
have done is deselected the data and move the cursor to the
beginning upone entering the memo field. Here is the code

Place this in the "ON Enter" event of the memo field

Me!memofieldname.SelStart = Me!memofieldname.SelStart
