I made a UserForm with two textboxes and two labels. Textbox1 is linked to a worksheet and the input from Textbox1 is input in a worksheet, the Lookup is done on the worksheet. A cell on the worksheet has the answer and is linked to Textbox2 and once the label CALC has been pushed appears in Textbox2. The other label on the UserForm is to exit the form.

On the form I made a lot of labels to simulate a paper table the user is used to. The labels have a with statement. On initialize of the form the labels get their Forecolor and contents from the worksheet. Furthermore the labels get centered horizontally and vertically on a kind of background label. All this is working.

The one thing I'am trying to accomplish is to conditionally change the forecolor of the labels from a , hardly readable green, to a bright green. The reason behind this so the user can see where the outcome is derived from in the table. Furthermore it has to change back once another calculation is being made.

My first thought was to append some kind of code to the CALC label and compare the outcome already present in Textbox2 to the Caption of the labels and change the labels caption, i.e forecolor. Can this be done? Compare a Caption to a Textbox value and then change the forecolor by means of code.
