Command Button color

[Louis]

Although Access provides many options to customize the look and format of a
Form, the "Command Button" is defaulted to grey with no optons to change its
color. It would be great it the user had the ability to change the command
button color/design in order to coordinate the look of a form.

Thanks Al, was able to import and change command button colors. Since it
converts to picture text layout (within button) is changed and locked to a
single line.. yet another challenge... Appreciate the quick and useful
assistance.

Hi Louis,

Can you wait for Access 2007?

Access 2007 supports transparent command buttons so your buttons can blend in with the surrounding
sections. You could also place a rectangle filled with color behind these to make them appear to be
a different color (I haven't tested that, but I think it should work just fine). Also, 2007 will
allow captions *and* pictures on the same button (a first). I believe you can set the caption to be
above, below, to the right, or to the left of the picture.

Sweet.

For current versions, Al has provided one option. Here are several others listed on my site:
