    The backcolor is &H8000000F& by default which depends on the system, therefore it's the color the user selected in his display properties..

    If you want the Form/Label/whatever to have the same color on every computer you need to set the color to a absolute value like &H00C0C0C0&.

    All colors beginning with &H80... are system-dependant..

    Also, that kind of colors only display properly in 24-bits color resolutions. If he has 16-bits or 8-bits, they'll be "rounded" to another color.
    Code:
    Temp = Me.GetIQ()
'Error 9: Overflow
'DON'T PANIC! :eek:
