John,

I do not believe .itemForeColor will permit a change to a single item's forecolor, but changes the forecolors of all items.

You evidently believe that ItemForeColor(2) = nSomeColor refers to the second item in the list. The documentation, sparse and confusing though it is, would not lead one to believe that individual list item forecolors can be changed in such a manner. In effect ItemForeColor(2)appears to change all the forecolor of all items to color 2 (whatever that is). In other words, these are equivalent statements:

.itemforecolor(2)
.itemforecolor = 2

To reset the forecolors of individual items, you will probably have to remove the item and add it back with a different color.

If there is another way, I am not aware of it.

regard,
