It took me a while, I put this in the init of the control, and it finally worked...
With Thisform.stcntbid.St_amt_100k .Font.bold=.T. .Font.Name="ariel" .Font.Size=200 .BackColor = Rgb(0,0,0) .SelLength = Len(Thisform.stcntbid.St_amt_100k.textRTF) .SelColor = Rgb(255,255,0) Endwith Thanks for the advice, and I appreciate your help, and patience.

If you want to change all the text to the same color then you have to use the SelStart and SelLength properties of the control.
