I have a combo box list in a form, I was wondering is there a way to
change the color of some of the records listed in the box. Like I
want to flag certain records as closed and change the color to red and
leave the rest of the list in black font.

Thanks

Kim

Not with the combo box that comes with Access.

It's possible that you might be able to do something with 3rd party
controls, but to be honest, I don't know whether there are any controls out
there that will do this and work with Access (not all ActiveX controls will
work with Access: you need to check with the vendor before purchasing)
