Colour codes for form text boxes

I would like to change all the text box background colours in a form to the same colour at the same time.

RE: Colour codes for form text boxes

Hi Dan

To format the background of multiple text boxes on an Access form you need to do the following:

1. Select all the text boxes

2. Right click one of the selected text boxes and select Properties

3. In the Properties wndow under the Format tab select Back Color and select the colour to use

4. Close the Properties window and the background updates

5. Click on a blank area of the form to deselect the text boxes.

Hope this helps
