This may seem really basic but I can't find the answer.
I have created a number of command buttons on a forms
page that when you click on them they take you to another
form. Pretty simple - right? All I want to do is change
the color of the command buttons. It comes in as that
kind of cream tan color and I need it to be a light
gray. How do I do that in 2003 or 2000 or XP - I don't
care, I have access to any version... Sorry for such a
simple question...

You can't change the color with built-in Access capabilities. I think there
are some "wor-arounds" out there on some of the Access sample sites.

Click to expand...

1) You can use a new label and set it's Mouse Down and Mouse Up events
to emulate the special effects of the command button. Labels added
from the tool box have events so you can code it's click event as you
would a command button

2) See Stephan Lebans site:

for his work-around.
