MS access 2007 Setting Backcolor ona label Field
I have a form that allows the user to click on a label field and some code runs.
I want to change the backcolor of the label field when the user clcks on it.
I am trying to use the folllowing code but continually get an error message:
DoCmd.SetProperty,"Applica
The syntax is not correct because I continue to get a message " Argument not Optional"
Question:
What is the correct Syntax?
Can this command be used on a label?
Thanks

You accepted
me.labelName.backcolor="#2
as the answer, but by my tests in Access 2003 demonstrated that the back color property will not accept a string value - only a numerical or VB variable value. Can you explain how you 'used the information to do what you wanted.' for the benefit of any future readers of this string?
