The removal of quotes didn't work for me, but Daniel's example did work.<br />
What also works is to use MSAccess<br />
Form_Storage_Automation_Ma<wbr />in_Form.Sn<wbr />apshot_Qua<wbr />ntity.Back<wbr />Color = 11908533<br />
<br />

Again, thanks to everyone.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">

I have this VBA statement<br />
<br />
Form_Storage_Automation_Ma<wbr />in_Form.HB<wbr />A1.BackCol<wbr />or = &quot;#F8F8F8&quot;<br />
<br />
I'm getting a &quot;Type Mismatch&quot; error.<br />
<br />
I've looked through many online blogs and forums without success. The approach above I got out of a VB example. Is there a difference in VBA?<br />
<br />
I don't understand what even the type would be?<br />
<br />
What would be the correct way to do this?
