VFP:Changing colors in TEXTBOX

My form has a textbox, a grid, and navigation
buttons (Top, Prev, Next, Last)
I want the text in my textbox to change on the fly.
Blue on white if boy, Red on white if girl.
After I ADD OBJECT txtName AS TextBox WITH...
I'm doing a:

mNameCol=iif(names.gender='boy',16711680,65535)
txtName.forecolor=mNameCol

For some reason this isn't working. I have been
toying with it and can get it to work first pass.
However, when I click buttons:

(NavButton is a COMMANDBUTTON class.)

define CLASS FirstButton AS NavButton (go to top)
Left = 9.0
Picture = "top.bmp"
procedure Click
NavButton::Click
GO TOP
mNameCol=iif(names.gender='boy',16711680,65535)
txtName.forecolor=mNameCol
thisform.Refresh
endproc
enddefine

...the 'txtName.forecolor=mNameCol' bombs out saying
"txtname is not an object"

Can anyone tell me how (and where) to do this??
Any help would be great!
thnx
