Thanks Aaron,
But I have a problem, this is the snippet

R2 = 10
 R2 = W-(25*H*H/10000)
 CanLose.text = format(R2, "#.##")
 if Val(CanLose.Text) < 0 then
   CanLose.TextColor = &hFF0000
 End if

What happens, is that format(R2, "#.##") does not give back a signed answer, so I tried
R2 = 10
 R2 = W-(25*H*H/10000)
 CanLose.text = format(R2, "#.##")
 if Val(R2) < 0 then
   CanLose.TextColor = &hFF0000
 End if

then I used
R2 = 10
 R2 = W-(25*H*H/10000)
 CanLose.text = format(R2, "#.##")
 if R2 < 0 then
   CanLose.TextColor = &hFF0000
 End if

But I still cannot compile.
Kindly assist again.
Thanks.
Lennox.

if CanLose.Text < 0 then

if Val( VanLose.Text ) < 0 then
        CanLose.TextColor = &hFF0000
End if

Note that CanLose must have it's Styled flag set to true in the properties window.

HTH!
