I guess I will just change the color permenantly
Don't give up too quickly. You shouldn't have to compromise your user interface to accommodate printing. Mmccarthy's suggestion should help, and it's not complicated. Well, to be honest, that probably depends on how the printing is initiated.
I would imagine there are numerous ways to resolve your problem, some more complex than others. For excample, you could create a print-only version of the form which is never displayed on-screen. You might evcen do this temporarily at run-time.
Anyway my point is, don't be discouraged just because you can't do it quite as easily as you'd hoped. Look at it as a learning experience. (Besides, it
may be as simple as adding two more statements.)
