How do I change the background color of form buttons.

[Guest]

I am using MS Access 2000 and wish to change the background color of form
buttons, the default is grey. As soon as I select the button to change the
'Fill/Back Color' button on the toolbar greys out and cannot be selected.

hi,
by default, you cannot set the back color of a button in
access. but a lot of people do want to have colorful
buttons so some MVPs got to work.

Access does not permit changing the background color of command buttons, but
there are 3rd party add-ins that do. One work around is to overlay a
colored box and use the transparent property.
