Hi, Chris. One thing to try is to dim the color as three variables, all of type BYTE (numbers, range 0-255). Red, Green and Blue are the three "primary colors of light". You would create a variable for each of those colors, and the range for saturation is 255 *bytRed would hold the Red value, bytGreen the green, and bytBlue the blue value. Then you can figure out from the RGB value what the real color is.
*byt is a standard Leszinski-Reddick (Hungarian) notation code for the variable type Byte (numbers, range 0-255). There are others, such as "str" for "String", "txt" for "Textbox" (object) "int" for "Integer", "lng" for "Long Integer", "dbl" for "Double" "sin" for Single, "chk" for "checkbox" (object), "bln" for "boolean", "cbo" for "combobox" (object), "opt" for "option button" (object), and "frm" for "Form" (object). There are others besides those; that was just to give a sampling. The ones that don't have (object) after them are variable types. There are many books that cover naming conventions, though the books may not necessarily be completely related to VB - one of the books I have that has a great table of the naming prefixes is an Access book, "Microsoft Access Version 2002: Inside Out" by Helen Ferrema (ISBN 0-7356-1283-8) Hope this helps!
