Changing textbox color by entering color name

[Josephbupe]

Hello everyone.

I would like to have a text box with a code that would allow changing text color depending on the name of the colour. For instance, if i type in "GREEN" the colour of text GREEN should be in green, and if i type in "BLUE" the text should be in the colour blue.

I want this to be done with RED, ORANGE, YELLOW, BLUE, GREEN and BLACK.

How can i do it.

take a look at vbRed in access help

In the Change event for the textbox is where you will put the code
You will change the forecolor property

something like this
[code=vb]
Private Sub Text2_Change()
Select Case Text2
Case "Red": Text2.ForeColor = vbRed
Case "Black": Text2.ForeColor = vbBlack
End Select
End Sub
[/code]

Hi Joseph. I have changed the title of your thread from "To" to the title you now see above. It helps all our users if a thread is given a meaningful title, and I am sure you will understand that "To" was not suitable. I am sure this was just a mistake on your part.
