I have a DB that I use for a minatures game. Each figure had a list of "stats". Some of these stats have special abilities which on the figure are denoted by color. My DB has a listing of each ability but I cant figure out how to change the color when a particular figure is selected from on the form from a combobox. Right now they come up with black text, and next to the box I have a key showing what each color means.

What I would do is get the color codes from the ForeColor (format a field ForeColor to the color you want, then copy down the number (ex: 255 = Red, 0 = Black, etc)...
Then when you select from the drop-down, have it look up that value and set the .ForeColor of whatever you're trying to change to the numbers you had copied down, respectively...
Now, .ForeColor is for the Font... If you want to shade the background, it would be .BackColor
