I have this code that manipulates the appearance of a label in my user form.

Code:
           With .Controls(hfg & "_en")
                .BorderColor = RGB(51, 204, 51)
                .BorderStyle = 1
                .ForeColor = RGB(51, 204, 51)
            End With

The RGB is a shade of green, and the label's border and font colour are given this value. All appears normal.

I am trying to use the font colour in an evaluation, ie if the font is green (RGB 51, 204, 51) then ...

Code:
With userfom1
    If  .Controls(hfg & "_en").ForeColor = RGB(51, 204, 51) Then
         .Controls(hfg & "_en").ForeColor = RGB(0, 0, 0)
    End if

I am unable to the criteria of the if statement. I had previously assigned the forecolor to that RGB value, it hasn't changed, so I would expect the value of the forecolor to be RGB 51, 204, 51 as assigned.

In the immediates pane, if I type ?.Controls(hfg & "_en").ForeColor a value of 3394611 is returned. I'm not sure how to convert that to RBG, but I suspect my codes is failing because maybe 3394611 isn't the same as RGB 51,204,51?

Is anyone able to offer a solution?
 

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
If I set a labels font in the initialize & then check it on a command button it works for me.
Is your code checking the correct label?
