Because you declared txt_Remarkas a VBA string you will not
affect what is displayed in the report. Since txtRemark is
a bound control in the report, you need to set its
properties and you have to specify the property (ForeColor,
BackColor, BorderColor) that should have the color:

Me.txtRemark.ForeColor = vbred

I can't be sure what the actual name of the text box real;y
is so make sure you use the name in your report.

Use conditional formatting instead of code.
Select the [txt_Remark] control.
Click on Format + Conditional Formatting
Set Condition1 to
