I'm having a bit of trouble at changing the background color on a command
button. Anyone with any suggestions?

Thanks

That's because the command button, as shipped, does not have a
backcolor property.

You can easily substitute a label, and set its MouseUp and MouseDown
properites to emulate the up-down movement of the command button,
or visit:

and try his method.
 
Access has nothing built-in to allow for changes in the command button
backcolor. There are some third-party tools that may help:

A shareware version of Button Painter for MS Access is available at
this web site: http://www.peterssoftware.com/bp.htm

Some simple colored button examples that can be copied into your
application are available at: http://www.peterssoftware.com/clrbtn.htm

Stephen Lebans has an example database that shows how to set a command
button back color and more: http://www.lebans.com/cmdbutton.htm

There are nice "Color Command Buttons" downloads at this site:

Hope this helps,
