Changing colour of selected items in listbox

How can I change the highlighting colour of selected items in a listbox? The default black on a white background does not look right in the colour scheme I am using and I can't find any way to set it in Access. I think I should be able to do it in VBA - any ideas?
Thank you
Andrew

Right click the List box

Select and change Back Color And Fore Color

Access tip:

Switchboard Startup

An option when you open your Access database that contains all of you tables, forms and queries is only the switchboard is displayed.

To achieve this, select Tools click on Startup. On the right hand side of the Startup screen you are able to select which form you want to open when you open you Access Database. Once you have selected this, there is a check box just below that says "Display Database Window", you need to uncheck this option. Then click ok.

Then when you close you Access database and re open it, the database should open with just the switchboard being shown
