Set textbox / combobox conditional font color using vba

Asked by keithedwardb in Microsoft Access Database, Access Coding/Macros

Tags: microsoft, office, 2003

Hi Experts,
I have a form where the user selects from a combo box 1 of 3 values; H, M, or L.  If the user slects 'H', I want to set the font color or another textbox (yet to be filled in) with 1 of 3 colours. Red, Amber or green.
Shown below is a sample of my select case.  the code runs and yet when I get to the me.txtActionID field, the colour remains the same - i.e. black.  

Private Sub cboRiskCatBefore_AfterUpdate()
Select Case cboRiskCatBefore
        Case "H"
            intRiskMax = 20
            intRiskMin = 9
            Me.txtActionID.FontBold = True
            Me.txtActionID.ForeColor = vbRed
        Case "M"......
.....

Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong, please?
Thanks.
