Win XP Home SP.2 - VB 4 Pro.


Just starting to learn VB and have a problem with foreground color in a text box. When viewing the form the text is white (the background color sets ok) but regardless of which forecolor I select in Properties the color does not change. When the prog is Run the forecolor changes to something like a buff color. The color hex number in the forecolor selection box remains as it was set by me.

Am following the Sams Publishing Teach Yourself publication and have some, but not a lot of, pc knowledge.

What am I doing wrong please
