Button Label is invisable

[Mel]

I added a "SAVE RECORD" Button to a Form and the label is not visable on the
button. The Property sheet says it is there. I have looked at all the
properties and cannot find anything that might cause this.

I would greatly appreciate some suggestions.

By "label", do you mean the button's Caption? Does your command button have
a picture? If so, the picture will be shown instead of the caption (except
maybe in Access 2007, where there's a Picture Caption Arrangement property
to control whether and how the caption is shown with the picture).

If the button's Caption property is set, and the Picture property is set to
"(none)", then I'd expect the caption to appear on the button face unless
the button is Transparent or the Fore Color is set to match the color of the
button face.

Thank you.

Everything was OK except the one property that I did not know what it meant.
The Fore Color was set to Text Light. I changed it to Dark and the caption
showed up.
