    i have a specific color, in the RGB or hex code that i want to use. How do i specify this color for the background of one of my forms. I want it to be exactly this color...

    Also, how do i open a new form?
    i thought it was "Show Form2" but i guess it's not...

    Form Code:
    Code:
    Private Sub Form_Load()

    Me.BackColor = &H8000000F
    'you can also set this in form properties
End Sub
    If you have added a new form (Form2):
    Code:
    Load Form2
Form2.Show

    You can do this
    Code:
    Private Sub Form1_Load()
    Form2.BackColor = Form1.BackColor
End Sub
    [i]
    Good luck, Matt-D(eutschland)

    Try This


    ' color setting
    form1.backcolor = RGB(128,0,0) 'set backcolor red
    ' load and opens form
    form1.show


    ' explanation of RGB(128,0,0)
    RGB(Red as Integer, Green as Integer, Blue as Integer) as Long

    Code:
    ?"&H" & Hex(((blue * &H100) + green) * &H100 + red)
    Use
    writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13
    To throw away OOP for low level languages is myopia, to keep OOP is hyperopia. To throw away OOP for a high level language is insight.

    Whats the problem? I mean that hex code you gave is red:102 and blue:0, how did you get those values?
