Welcome to another video quiz from Access Learning Zone.

This quiz is for advanced users and is five questions covering Access control formatting. You'll have three seconds to answer each question, so use that pause button if you need more time.

Keep track of your score so we can see how you did at the end. Are you ready to keep the Martians from repainting your form?

All right, here we go.

Question one: Which control property changes the color of the text displayed in a text box without changing its background?

Is that Back Color, Fore Color, Font Size, or Caption?

That is the Fore Color property.

Question two: What color does the Access expression RGB(0, 0, 255) produce?

Is that red, green, yellow, or blue?

That's going to be blue. If you can't remember RGB: red, green, blue. The higher number is the one you're getting more of.

Question three: In a Set Value macro action, which expression is the best way to assign bright red to a text box's Fore Color property?

There's your four options. Read them over and pick one. Hit that pause button if you need more time.

Here it is: equals RGB 255. That's red. I use RGB all the time, so learn it.

Question four: A macro should make a control's text larger when an order reaches a certain status. Which property and value should it set?

Would that be Fore Color, Back Color, Font Size, or Caption?

That's going to be the Font Size property.

Question five: Why can copying a color picker value, such as #FF0000, directly into a Set Value macro expression cause an error?

Set Value can change only text values, not formatting properties. The color picker uses hexadecimal text while the property needs a numeric color value or a color expression. Fore Color can be changed only with VBA, not macros, or Access requires all colors to be entered as theme names.

That's going to be the color picker uses hexadecimal text while the property needs a numeric color value or a color expression, which is what RGB returns.

All right, how'd you do? Did you get all five right? Did you defeat the Martians and keep a tripod as a souvenir? Or did you see the Martians coming but stand around watching anyway?

Well, if you missed any of these topics, a lot more are covered in my Access Advanced Level 3 class, Lesson 1, all about control properties.

Thanks for playing. Post your score in the comments, and let us know whether you outwitted the Martians or just gave them a very colorful new database to play with.

Until next time, live long and prosper.
