BackColor

[Stemdriller]

Hi all

A form of mine changes color depending on what a previous form does.

My code is simple enough
Me.Detail.BackColor = vbRed

Which works perfectly

But the 'Red' is to errrrrrm 'Red!' if that makes sense. So I am trying to tailor it to a more friendly Red. But if i put in #BA1419 the code errors?

Any suggestions?

How are you using the HexCode? I think access truggles to find the hexa values.. so they have some special numbers.. try this link..
