Change color of scrollbars in subform textboxes

[Sandy]

Hello -

I have an application with many subforms which have textboxes with
scrollbars. The scrollbars have an obnoxious light blue color. I don't know
how to change the color.

Anyone know how to do this?

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

Hi Rick -

Thanks for your response, although it's not what I wanted to hear!

Do you happen to know what the number is for the color?

That color is a Windows system setting. You can only change it by changing your
Windows theme or appearance settings.

From the help file topic "System Color Constants" the constant is vbScrollBars.
In the immediate window...

That really hit the nail on the head.

Since you could not answer the question, you send Sandy to an MVP's website.
Why not send her to the specific information on Stephen's website rather
than his home page? Wouldn't sending Sandy to www.google.com be just as
useful.

Well dimwit, I considered for a moment sending her to you but that was a
certainty she would get no help there! You would rather waste your time and
everyone in the newsgroups time posting your worthless garbage. All you are
good for is polluting the newsgroups and sucking up bandwidth on newsgroup
servers. But, I suppose you think in your dimwitted way that that is what
MVPs are suppose to do. You give MVPs a bad name!!!!

Stop the soliciting and I will not have to keep warning users of your
inappropriate behaviour.

So your long winded personal attacks and that garbage you place after your
signature is not polluting the newsgroups and wasting bandwidth? (I'll add
this to the long list of questions you will not answer)
