This code should do the trick.

Private Sub TextBox1_LostFocus()
If TextBox1.Value < "" Then
TextBox1.BackColor = RGB(255, 255, 255)
Else:
TextBox1.BackColor = RGB(255, 255, 0)
End If
End Sub

Is it possible for a text box to be one color when blank, but change to
another color when the user types something into it?

When it's blank, I want it to be yellow.

After the user types in it, I want it to change to white.

Thoughts?
