Access - Change Colour of Buttons on Form 1

[dsmith910]

Hi

I'm running Access 2000 on Windows 98. I have a series of command buttons across the bottom of a form, which move the user from table to table, etc.

Can I change the colour from the dull and uninteresting gray to something which fits in with my colour scheme a bit better? It will let me change the colour of the text but not the button itself.

I do a workaround on this issue by creating labels that look like buttons. Make the label the same size and caption, then change the Special Effect Property to Raised, and the Back Color property to your color. Cut and paste the Click event code of the button to the Click event of the label.

Hi

Now why didn't I think of that - brilliant! I want certain coloured buttons on different forms etc. which when pressed take you to the same place. Am rushing off to amend my dbase right away.

Thanks a lot
