How do I change background colour of textbox at runtime

A

Ascorpius

I would like to change the background colour of a text box depending upon the
data being displayed. EG if data=HIGH colour = red. If data=LOW colour =
green. I can do this in VB but it affects all forms in continuous forms. I
want it specific to each individual form in continuous forms.

I'm not understanding what you mean by "each individual form in continuous
forms", but if if you mean each individual record in a continuous form, then
I expect you'll find that Conditional Formatting is your friend here. It's
available via the Format menu, when the form is open in design mode. Check
out the Help on this, and post back if you can't figure it out.
