Can't get 'BackColor' to work 1

[HMJ]

I have a form where labels are highlighted when the field gets focus. The code I have used on this form so far is:

Private Sub DENTIST__PHONE_GotFocus()
    Me!Label19.BackColor = 8454143
End Sub
Private Sub DENTIST__PHONE_LostFocus()
    Me!Label19.BackColor = 12632256
End Sub

Now I am trying to add aditional fields and the same code does not work. i.e...

Private Sub MMR_GotFocus()
    Me!Label26.BackColor = 8454143
End Sub
Private Sub MMR_LostFocus()
    Me!Label25.BackColor = 12632256
End Sub

Anyone have any idea(s) why this won't work now?

Hi Harry,

Check the BackStyle value - if the Label is Transparent, changing the BackColor will have no visible effect.

Enjoy,
Tony

Also make sure you have your label names correct - I notice in the second part of your snippet above, the GotFocus event refers to Label26 and the LostFocus event refers to Label25.

TONY:
Thank You!
I knew it had to be something simple that I was overlooking. That is what happens when you are in a time crunch!

NELVITICUS:
Thank You, too. That was a typo on my part when I was posting. As I said above - time crunch causes errors!
