combo list ?

[Guest]

When I select something in my combo list is there any way to format it to
stay white in color. I have a list of reason codes but when I select one the
background is black. We have to scan our documents and the black causes
problems seeing what has been selected.

Set the focus to a different field after selecting a value in the
combo box.
If that creates the same difficulty in that other field, then add an
unbound text control to the form. Set it's Height and Width properties
to 0". Delete it's attached label.

Code the Combo AfterUpdate event:
Me![TinyControlName].SetFocus.
