I need to create a button which changes the back colour and the font colour
and type of several fiels in a form, This is the way I would normally do it:
[Date].Backcolor = 11112121
[Date].tabstop = True
[Customer No].Backcolor =
etc
is there a way I can do it for all of them grouped together, given that the
whole group needs to change to the same colours?
Thanks

Hi Paulo,
You can set the tag property of the control to a value to check
for and then use a for each statement like below:
'************** *************** *************** ********
Dim x As Control
For Each x In Controls
If x.Tag = "True" then
x.Backcolor = 11112121
x.tabstop = True
End if
Next x
'************** *************** *************** ********
In the example above, it is assumed that the Tag value has True typed
into it. Hope this helps.

You could use something like
Dim ctrl As Control
For Each ctrl In Me.Controls
Select Case ctrl.Name
Case "Date", "Customer No"
ctrl.Backcolor = 11112121
ctrl.tabstop = True
End Select
Next

Hope this helps

You've received several replies by now, telling you how to change
control properties, so I'll call your attention to another aspect of
database design you may not be aware of... your use of the word "Date"
as a field name.
Date is a reserved Access/VBA/Jet word and should not be used as a
field name.
See the Microsoft KnowledgeBase article for your version of Access:
109312 'Reserved Words in Microsoft Access' for Access 97
209187 'ACC2000: Reserved Words in Microsoft Access'
286335 'ACC2002: Reserved Words in Microsoft Access'
321266 'ACC2002: Microsoft Jet 4.0 Reserved Words'

Please only reply to this newsgroup.
I do not reply to personal email.
Thanks for the replies guys..
Fred: the control I typed was just an example the controls I have to change
in the form are different ones. But thank you anyway I didn't know about the
date word, good thing for me to know.
Arno I can't really use the function as I have to change different groups
of control inside of the same form.
David yours seems to be what I need but I don't know what the Tag is...
sorry I am very green with VBA and it's hard for me to grasp some concepts..
Again thanks guys

Tag is a property of a control {button, text box etc.}. It shows on the
'Options' tab of the properties window when a control is selected.

Hi
I spotted some nice code to change the background colour of a web page to

The method was to select a number at random from 1 to 4 by using the rnd()
function and then dividing by modulus 4. The result was then used to select
a cell in a 4 cell array which was holding a different colour in each cell
of the array. I would like to have this code but lack the knowledge to...
