[AccessD] System Colors

...are you suggesting there's actually something there a person can find 
without losing more snatches of hair than they can rightly afford to part 
with? :)))

...thanks to all who responded ...actually John put me on to what I was 
really after ...how to feed those colors to API calls that expect RGB values 
...now if I can only decipher it :)

...been beatin' my head most of today trying to get a treeview node to call 
an application.quit ...did I mention lately that I hate microsoft :)
