No, not directly. As others have said, you can only change colour
settings via macro. The colour of the form background is a property of
the document, which means that everytime you change that property, e.g.
because you have displayed a data entry that sets off the macro, then
you close the Form document, you will be asked if you want to save your
changes (logical, because you have in effect changed the document, even
if you have not changed the data bound from the database). This can lead
to confusion/irritation with the users of the form who think that they
either have to save something they possibly didn't change, or else the
next user when opening the form finds it in a strange colour (unless of
course your macro also fires on the "upon open" event to check whether
the data of the first field corresponds to a "doesn't meet the "colour
set" criteria of the other macro).


For questions like this, you really ought to be trawling the forums,
especially the OOo forums, where you are more likely to be able to find
someone who might have tried something similar, but unless you know
OOoBasic/LOBasic, then you will make slow progress.
