Answer 1

One way is you can use the _Lostfocus option

Text1.Backcolor= Qbcolor(9)

The 1 to 15 colors

I hope this helps

Answer 2

hi,
Try the following:
----------------------------------------------------------------
Private Sub Text2_GotFocus()
Text2.BackColor = RGB(Rnd(15) * 500, Rnd(15) * 500, Rnd(15) * 500)
End Sub
-----------------------------------------------------------------
On pressing TAB, when focus will go to next box, its back colour will be different with the previous one.
