J Jeff Conrad Sep 29, 2004 #2 Hi, There is nothing built-in to Access that will allow you to change the color of command buttons. 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 For possible different command button shapes see: http://www.mvps.org/access/forms/frm0053.htm http://www.candace-tripp.com/_pages/access_downloads.asp Look for "Color Command Buttons" download file for other shapes.
