Joe,

Something like

Me.TextBox1.BackColor = RGB(123, 123, 255)

Gord Dibben also advised of this little utility to get RGB colour codes

Hello,

Can someone please tell me what the code would be to set/change hte
BackColor property of a textbox on a user form. I would like to be able to
change the BackColor shade depending on other certain criteria to indicate a
non-editable entry.

Thank You,

Joe Mathis
