In a form when you go to a field by tabbing...it highlights the text as black and makes the text white. Anyway to change that?

Thanks!!

play around with these

Private Sub YourFieldName_GotFocus()
YourFieldName.ForeColor = 255
YourFieldName.BackColor = 16711680

Hope this helps

Or go to design view, click on the textbox control and on it's property sheet change BackStyle to Transparent and then BackColor to any color you want. Then when they tab into the control, it will change to that color and revert back when they leave.
