Is there any way to format the column heads in an unbound text box? (i.e.,
font, back color, alignment, etc.). I selected "yes" for Column Heads in the
properties window, and I can select the number of columns and their widths,
but I'd like more options.

Thanks
 
Hi.
Is there any way to format the column heads in an unbound text box?
Click to expand...

No -- at least not separately from the text displayed in the drop down and
the selection box. That text can be customized via the Properties dialog
window or programmatically. For example:

Me!cboYear.ForeColor = vbRed
Me!cboYear.BackColor = vbYellow

.... where cboYear is the name of the combo box.

To change these properties via the GUI, open the form in Design View and
then open the Properties dialog window, then select the combo box and select
the "Format" tab. Scroll down and select the Font Name, Font Size, et
cetera, Properties and change them to something more desirable.

HTH.
