Is there a way to change the back color of a command
button? It is always gray. I want to color code my
command buttons. Changing the fore color is not enough.

I really appreciate any help you provide.

Thanks,

Hi,

There is nothing buit-in to Access that will allow you to do this.
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: http://www.lebans.com/cmdbutton.htm

3. There's a nice "Color Command Buttons" download at this site:
http://www.candace-tripp.com/access_downloads.htm

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

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

Hope that helps,
