After coloring in forms, the buttons are still gray and I can't seem to find
how to color them too? Also the tabs of tab controls remain gray...
Boy does this seem like a simple thing! Anyone help me out with this
silliness?
Access 2000...
Access command buttons do not have a back color property that is
changeable. A least using Access as delivered.
Workarounds...
1) You can use an unbound label, color it as you wish.
Set it's SpecialEffects property to Raised, and code it's Mouse Up
event (LabelName.SpecialEffect = 1) and Mouse Down event
(LabelName.SpecialEffect = 2) to simulate movement.
Then code the label's click event as you would a command button.
2) Set a colored background as the Command Button Picture
property. You can use MSPaint to create the colored picture. Include
the caption in the MSPaint picture, not in the command button caption
property. A small bit of practice to get the size right, but, once you
do it, it's easy.
3) See
