SatForms Power Tip: Changing Scripting Colors

----------------------------------------

Introduction

Colored scripting was introduced in version 4.0.  I was interested in matching the colors to those found in Microsoft Access.   To do so, you need to go to two areas in your computer and make the changes as noted.  Of course you are free to change the scripting colors to any color you wish.

 

These changes should only be done by users comfortable with the Windows Registry and with INI files.  As always, you proceed at your own risk...
