first of all im sorry if i have posted this in the wrong discussion group.

i was just wondering if there is a way to change the colour of the gray
arrow button on a combo box(the thing which most people press to see the list
of options) on front page.

im not sure if i have explanied myself clear enought but any help u can give
me would be very greatful.

regards

stuart
 
you can a little bit...right in design view, right click on the form button (whatever) Form Field Properties, the Style, then Format...you can change some stuff there.
 
ye i tryed this but it dont work on the combo boxes. it only changes the
bacground colour where the font is, and that work on the big buttons like
subit or clear, but i cant seem to get it to work on the little ones on the
combo boxes
 
The down arrow is drawn by the system, it doesn't actually exist on the page.
Therefore you can't modify it.

but it must exist as its there under preview mode, and when u open it up in
internet explorer, its the same face as the scroll bar, n it has a scroll bar
 
Trust me. There is no editable code for the down arrow in a combo box on the web page.
The down arrow is drawn by the system because the system sees:
<select></select>
on the web page.

Place <select></select> on a blank page in code view and then look at it in design view or preview.
