formatting of form

[JB]

Hello
I have a table called folders, and the primary key (FolderID) is the number
of the folder. so it's not automatic, but of course unique. and it's a
foreign key in my main table.
I've created a report from a query making the folder number the query
criteria so that when you view the report you enter the folder number, and
only that folder is displayed in the report.

All looking good except the FolderId is in negative. In other words the font
of the folder header is blue on transparent (white) background, whereas the
FolderId is white font with blue background. And yet that is not in the
properties.

why is this and how can i fix it please

I knew the minute I posted the question I would then suddenly see the light!
It was because the FolderId for some reason was List box instead of Combo
box.
