>How can I change the color of the text in a text box programmatically. The only way I have been able to change the color is by adding the 3 RGB values together so red would be 255 since it is 255,0,0. Blue is 0,0,255 so how would I code this.

Actually, the internal order of colors in VFP is BGR, so if you want to avoid using RGB() function, you can simply set your color numbers in hex - but in BGR numbers. Just try

?rgb(nRed, nGreen, nBlue) picture "@0"

and you'll see why you get 255 for red (255, 0, 0) and 65280 (0x00ff00) for green (0, 255, 0).

So, you can set your forecolor to red using this syntax:
this.forecolor=0x0000ff
