Change Color of Text in Drop Down

[PBHolt]

I have a layout that displays a drop down pulling values from another table. On the layout, when a paritcular item is chosen, I want it's text to change color. Any ideas?

Fairly easy, if you mean something like this:

Notice the Auto Enter, and the Unselected Replace existing values.

Windows problem.

Your computer made the file a Read Only when you downloaded it.

Go to the finder level (or whatever it is called), and change the file to Read and Write.
