Can you change the default color for selected text in MS Access?

Question

I haven't found an existing post about this so I'll give it a shot.

I'd like to know if there is a way to change the default highlight color for selected text? Right now, whenever I invoke .SetFocus on a field, Access "selects" the contents of the field. The color it uses is black, and makes the data very hard to see. Is there a way to change that color?

Answer 1

Access simply swaps the background and foreground color as its means of highlighting text in a text box. As far as I know there is no way to change this behavior.

Obviously you can change the foreground and background colors themselves, but there is no separate "highlight" color that you can set independent of the foreground/background.
