I'm working on a custom activex control for use in access. It seems that Access is not allowing the backcolor of the activex to match the backcolor of the form or report its on using backcolor=ambient.backcolor in the usercontrol_ambientchanged event.
Is there a way around this? I need it to have two different backcolors- one for a form, and one for printing on a report.
Thanks

You should be able to reference this using something like

Me.ActiveX.BackColor = Me.BackColor

I am not sure if Me.BackColor will work. You may just have to code this in using the numbers. Also possibly:

Me.ActiveX.BackColor = vbWhite

for the report.
