Thanks for the reply, Fred.
My response was based on your choice of words "poor coding". I will assume
your intent was not as disrespectful as it appeared. I see your posts often
and usually your answers are usually helpful.

I still am opposed to your constant use of literal values rather than
intrinsic constants. Why do you do that? Constants are a great way to make
your code easier to understand. Certainly almost everyone using VBA knows -1
is True and 0 is False, but it is still easier to read code with constants
rather than literal values. Taking it to extreme, would you rather see:

Me.txtFuzzball.BackColor = 65535

or
Me.txtFuzzball.BackColor = vbYellow

Sorry, but it is one of those pet peeves of mine.

Thank you for being out here helping those who have questions.

David,
I'm glad we're clear.

I don't quite follow you with your concerns regarding:

I still am opposed to your constant use of literal values rather than intrinsic constants. ....
Me.txtFuzzball.BackColor = 65535
or
Me.txtFuzzball.BackColor = vbYellow

in this thread.

For me, personally, as long as the 2 values were the identical color,
I would rather see vbYellow. I can visualize Yellow, but I have no
idea what 65535 as a color value looks like, and I certainly can't
remember that 16711680 is vbBlue.

Did I miss understand something in this regards?
