title: Access 2007 - How Do You Use VBA to Change Combobox Backcolor
body: <p>I want to change the BackColor of a combox box on a form using VBA.  I use this code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Me.Combo1.BackColor=vbYellow
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But the backcolor doesn't change.  I then put <code>DoEvents</code> after the above line but that didn't help. <code>Combo1.BackStyle</code> is set to Normal.  I noticed, however, that if I minimize the form and then restore it the backcolor changes to yellow.</p>
  
  <p>Do I need to set the focus to a different control to make the change in backcolor take place?</p>
