When designing a new form or report, the Default ForeColor is often
something like -2147483640 which is the colour of Windows text (possibly
black) and the default backColor is -2147483643 (possibly white)

Can anyone tell me how to convert these colours to either RGB colours or the
Long number used by Access. Black is 0 and White is 16777215
