Hi,

I have been asked if i can change the selector colour whilst in a combo
box (currently it's black) also, if the user types into the combo box
(the combo box guesses) how do i change this as well

Currently my Font colour is black & back color is white, i do not want
to change these.

I just want my combo box selector to be in blue.... how do i do this/
can it be done?

Things like that come from the operating system, not from Access.

While it may be possible to change them, if you did, you'd be changing them
for all application, not just your one Access application. Since the users
may have deliberatlye selected a particular style, it's generally not
considered a good idea to make system-wide changes like that.

What "change" did you want to the AutoExpand capability (the official name
for the "combo box guesses")? Realistically, all you can do is turn it on
or off.
 
I wanted the AutoExpand capability of a combo box, to be highlighted in
blue (different to black, which is what it is when i select text using
the mouse (on the same field))

Again, that's from the operating system, not Access, so there's no way to
accomplish it just for your application.
