When the program is starting up, I want it to change the form backcolor. The only way I know how to do it when the program is running is with this:



frmMemberList.ActiveForm.BackColor = clrBackColor

but when the program is loading, and the form is not "active" yet, it crashes at that point...

Any suggestions to on how to change the backcolor on the form, as soon as it loads?
 
If the code is placed in the form that you want to change the backColor of, you can use Me.BackColor = clrBackColor.

The 'ActiveForm' property is the active form for the application. The 'Me' keyword refers to the form in which the code resides.
 
sorry for the delay in reply, for some reason my email notification didnt come through... I just checked the forum before going to bed (its 2:28 am here...) so I will try this tommorow, hopefully it works.

<Edit> I just tested it, and it works perfectly now, thanks a million
