I have a textbox serving as a a chat window.. i would like to be able to
manipulate font color based on the 'user' typing within the chat.

to see the context, download the NetChat 3.1 (open first with macros
disabled/change chatlog/user log to point to a shared network folder,
save/reopen with enabled macros)

You can do a certain amount of formatting (eg. Bold/Text colour) in the
formula bar - results only becomes visible when you Enter.

Set to record a macro as you do it to get code sample.

I don't believe it is possible with an ActiveX Textbox. You can try using
the RTF Textbox, or if your textbox is on a worksheet, use the textbox from
the Drawing toolbar (I didn't look at your file, so I don't know where your
textbox is).
