It finally works!!

[Bidwin]

but with a minor inconvenience. I can't get data I move from a worksheet to a userform text box to display in any color but gray. The font is correct, and it changes if I change the Font property in the Prpoerties area. I've set ForeColor there, and I've included the following statements before and after moving the data but none of these work:
LATA.ForeColor = 26
LATA.ForeColor = RGB(200, 0, 200).

I move the data with:
LATA.Value = Worksheets(1).Cells(ROWW, 2)

Any ideas how to get the data to display in color???

Also, is it necessary to unload a userform when quitting an application? I have a command button that's used to exit the app:
Private Sub QUITbtn_Click()
Unload CLLIsearch
Workbooks(1).Close SaveChanges:=False
End Sub

Thanks to all for your earlier responses. They've been very helpful.
Regards,
Bidwin

Have you tried

controlname.forecolor = vbRed

(You can use whatever color you need, rather then red i.e.:vbBlue, vbGreen, vbBlack...)

This works with Visual Basic and also with VBA.

As far as I know, you don't have to unload your form when closing Excel, it will unload when you close the program by default. There may be others who disagree, however.

Hope that helps you.

JSearcy,
I've tried that and it doesn't work. I'm stumped on this one.

Thanks for your reply.

Bidwin,
Check the properties for textbox...
Make sure enabled = true...
If it is disabled, the code can change the value of the text, but it will forever be gray...
