I am assuming your Option Buttons are placed directly on your form and not part of an Option Group.
You need the event of the control but you are setting the properties of the label.

Is this the sort of thing you are looking for (see screenshot)?

We're using a function here, right? I may have to wait until I throw a bit more Social Security money at Rick before I can swallow that bait; however, your response did lead to a simple subroutine approach that works and to which I'm content to cling until future enlightenment emboldens me.


(yes, you are correct. There is no Option Group)

Private Sub oBtn_GotFocus()
   Label31.ForeColor = vbRed
End Sub

--and--

Private Sub oBtn_LostFocus()
   Label31.ForeColor = vbBlack
End Sub

OK. One bit of advice. I would give any control you are referring to in code a good name. As your looking at your code in the future you'll find yourself wondering what Label31 is.

Good call, thanks.
It's like I was born on Saint Basil's feast day, but fortunately the calendar on the hospital wall had a picture of Pope Gregory which caught my mother's attention at just the right moment.
