Hi Dan & Irv:
Thanks for the clarification.  I'm glad to hear that I'm not going
crazy .  But since I'm still stuck with the problem of not being
able to set the color of the "caption".  And I'm not at all familiar
with the Windows API.  Could you do me a favor and tell me (code-wise)
how to change the caption color?

If I can get the syntax of the proper API calls to do this, I would be
glad to write a function/procedure that would do this generically for
any control.  And then submit it back to the group so everyone can get
the benefit of it.

Any help is much appreciated.

Regards
Brian Keene
