ActiveX List Box -

[angiec50]

Hi

I am creating a form, where I would like to have a list box with three
options in it. Red, Amber and Green. I would also like to be able to set
the list box so that when the user chooses one of the options the colour also
appears. I.e. choose Red, the box turns red. I presume I need to use an
ActiveX List Box, and I can insert one, but have no idea on how to use Visual
Basic Editor, and have spent many hours getting no where. Can anyone help?
Thanks

The "Word Programming" newsgroup would be the better place to ask such
questions, as that's where you'll find more people who know about such things.

FWIW I've looked at the ActiveX control and it appears it's not possible to
change the background (or foreground) color at run-time, once the control has
been displayed.
