Is there a way of just setting either the background or foreground color only, with RGBCOLOR(). I attempted to leave out digits but RGBCOLOR() seems to want allowed digits only.

The reason I ask is that I have color-coded my text based on the Tab and tab label color. For example everything associated with shipping information tab has blue text. With this setup users do not get confused as to which tab is open on top at the present time. As they click from tab to tab the text color changes for instant notification of what data they are using.

In a number of my Sbasic routines and functions I am testing for a condition and when it is not met I popup a message telling the user and then set the element background color to red and throwfocus to that element. My problem is that when the condition is met after being corrected to set the text color back to the desired color I have to test for the element name and then have specific if statements for every element type (Since my elements naming convention has the type at the beginning of each such as ShipStreet, WorkStreet etc I could verify the type by using something like ThisElement and an @left command to figure out what color it should be to limit the amount of if statements needed) or a simpler method would be for me not to have to mess with the foreground color and only turn the background to red and then back to white.

So that is why I ask.

Thanks
