Christmas May

It is my understanding that you can't change the background color of a
command button in Access 2003. Therefore, I've used a label and coded the
MouseDown and MouseUp events to have it behave like a command button. Is
there some way I can assign a "hot key" to this label?

For example, my label is a simple "Exit" button with the "x" underlined by
"E&xit". However, pressing "X" or "Alt-X" doesn't do anything like it would
if it was an actual command button.

Please advise,

Christmas May
 
One method would be to set up a button as you normally would.
--set the button's Transparent property to Yes (on the Format Tab)
--Put that button over the top of a label.
-- Either select the label (or create one) and use the menu Format: Send to
Back or Select the Button and use menu Format: Bring to Front so that the
button is on top of the label.
