Changing the background color of a control
Hello ... I use the following code to change the background color of a
control when the value in another control (total) is 0 If Dair_trans 0 Then Ddesc.BackStyle = 1 Ddesc.BackColor = vbRed Else Ddesc.BackStyle = 0 End If When I click Ddesc and the value of total is 0 the color changes on all the lines (a multiline form) regardless of the value of the total control Is there a way to change the colour of the control in question only if the condition is met and for it to say colored .. ie the control on that line only is changed. Any help would be most appreciate. Abay
