Can the buttons we add to forms be 'customized' or do we just work with
buttons available from the toolbox?

you can "mis-Use" every control which has an on-click event

The simple answer is NO but you would either need to add
3rd party controls which invariably cost money or create
your own difficult unless you have something like VB).

If you wish to add an additional control simply go to
Insert, ActiveX Control. You will need to know how to work
with the control and repond to any events raised for it to
be really useful to you.

I hope this helps...

Sorry Andy but I do not understand that.

add a new Label to your form and look at the events:
there is an on-click event.

Now you can format this Label to look like a command button and the
action is in the on_click event

the same you can do with a lot of internal controls from Access

That depends on what kind of customization you have in mind. You can
certainly write your own code for the Click of any button; you don't
have to rely on the limited functions provided by the Command Button
Wizard. But if it's the appearance of the button you're concerned
about, there's a limit to what you can do to customize that without
using trickery. There are lots of tricks available, though, so if you
describe what specifically you want to do, the group may be able to
offer some suggestions.
