Command button colors

[Mark]

Good morning,

Is there a way to change the background color of a command
button that I am using on a form/switchboard?

I guess that I can use a label and code in the "on click"
event to accomplish the same thing?

Thanks!!!

Have a look at the goodies at Access MVP Stephen Lebans' website:

Access has nothing built-in to allow for changes in the command button
backcolor. There are some third-party tools that may help:

A shareware version of Button Painter for MS Access is available at
this web site: http://www.peterssoftware.com/bp.htm

Some simple colored button examples that can be copied into your
application are available at: http://www.peterssoftware.com/clrbtn.htm

Stephen Lebans has an example database that shows how to set a command
button back color and more: http://www.lebans.com/cmdbutton.htm

There are nice "Color Command Buttons" downloads at this site:

Hope this helps,
