About MS Access and color codes

[DataBug]

Sometimes the simplest of questions can be the hardest to find the answer to. I have spent the last 2 hours searching for the answer to this one. I'm sure it's on this site somewhere but the search is running way to slow for me to be of any use.

What exactly does the numeric color codes in VBA represent? I have downloaded a score of color pickers. utilities and none use these numbers in the way Access does. Ideally, I'd like to find a utility that will allow me to specify a particular color and then give me the corresponding code for that color.

TIA

might not be what you need...i remember reading somewhere that the hexcodes (?) are different in access than other apps. i think it was in a pcmag.com article, possibly a tip of the day. try a search of their site. it explained how to converse with both. hth.

I have not used this, but see if this utility helps:
