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

Private Sub Text2_Change()
   Select Case Text2
      Case "Red": Text2.ForeColor = vbRed
      Case "Black": Text2.ForeColor = vbBlack
   End Select
End Sub

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.
