I want to change the forecolor on part of my after update event value.

Code for the afterUpdate event on a memo field

Me!txtRtsNotes = Me!txtRtsNotes & " " & Month(Now) & "/" & Day(Now)

I want the date stuff to be blue like 16711680

Thanks for the help

Unless you have a non-standard control, vba/ms. access does not support multiple colors in control fields, There are some 'workarounds' and thrid party controls which can (mostly) be made to fool some of the casual users.

RichTextBoc has been mentioned as one which does permit different fonts/colorr within the control.

There is never time to do it right but there is always time to do it over

Me.MyControlOfForm.BackColor = 16711680

THanks, but I only want the date part to be a different color, So in the memo field Dates stand out more.

Anys work arounds out there?

Change Font Color to blue
MyDateControl.ForeColor = 16711680

Change Background of control to blue
MyDateControl.BackColor = 16711680
