Is there anything you can do to get better looking buttons than the plain
grey background ones. Are there different button styles you can download or
buy as add ons. I don't want to use an image on the button face.

There is nothing built-in to Access that will allow you to change the color of
command buttons. Here are several options for you:

1. Use a label instead. Labels have click events and can be made to look like
a command button with some work.

2. Sensei Stephen Lebans has an example database that shows how to set a
command button back color and more:

3. There's a nice "Color Command Buttons" download at this site:

4. Some simple colored button examples that can be copied into your
application are available at:

5. A shareware version of Button Painter for MS Access is available at
this web site:

6. MVP Arvin Meyer has some "hover" style buttons here:
