Hi. I have several forms with a listbox and would like
to change the BackColor from a procedure that I
can call from each form's Load event(or what ever
event is relevant.
Any help will be appreciated.

I suppose you want a procedure to do that?

Public Sub SetBackColor(ctl As Control)
ctl.BackColor = RGB(255, 192, 192) ' pink
End Sub

Then the Load event can call the procedure:

SetBackColor(Me.listboxname)
