Hi, is there a way to change the color of the text in a message box. For
Instance, I have a message that states: User must fill in where the field is
Yellow. How can I make the word "Yellow" actually yellow in the message box?
Thanks.

You can't do this in the built-in message box. You can create your own
message form and make it happen with some sort of coding. Probably you'd
want to use a rich text control for this, since that would allow you to
display multi-color text in the same control. If you're using Access 2007,
I believe it has a built-in rich text control. If not, Stephen Lebans has
created one that works well with Access; see
http://www.lebans.com/richtext.htm .
