[AccessD] Colors in a combo box

Rocky, 
If you do a google on resistors colors, you will get lots of hits. I learned
to enjoy playing with these when I was studying to be a computer technician
a couple of years ago, but I have forgotten most of it, unfortunately,
because I haven't been working in the field and keep up with studying it.

I think you will have to do something with stacking columns of labels, -
wait a minute...........

How about something like this:

Option Groups, Radio buttons and coloured labels.
Up to you to do the maths, but you can have a copy of the form if you want
it <g>
