textbox displays wrong color - ms-access

Question

I have a bug:
My Microsoft Access report has a textbox that is supposed to have a black forecolor but displays pink instead.
The code setting the forecolor to black is reached and The forecolor is set to black but when the report is finished the textbox displays a pink number.
There are no other references to the textbox in my code.
The default textbox forecolor is #7F7F7F which is grey.
Further the same code correctly sets other textboxes to a black forecolor.
I have cross-checked properties between the text boxes and they all are the same.
What could I be missing?
This is the function call to set the textbox:
SetPointsTextBox frmWeeklyMotivationSystemReport2.Controls!txtSaturday3, status
Sub SetPointsTextBox(textbox As Control, status As clsStatus2)
If status.DisplayTodaysPoints = 0 And status.DayEvent > 0 Then
textbox = DisplayEventasString(status.DayEvent)
textbox.ForeColor = vbBlue
Else
textbox = status.DisplayTodaysPoints
If status.status = 4 Then
If status.DisplayTodaysPoints > 0 Then
textbox.ForeColor = vbRed
Else
If status.DisplayTodaysPoints = 0 Then
textbox = ""
Else
textbox = 0
textbox.ForeColor = RGB(205, 155, 29)
End If
End If
Else
If status.DisplayTodaysPoints < 0 Then
textbox.ForeColor = vbRed
ElseIf status.status = 2 Or status.status = 9 Then
textbox.ForeColor = vbBlue
Else
textbox.ForeColor = vbBlack 'code gets to here and changes the forecolor to 0
End If
End If
End If
End Sub
