Command Buttons Frustration

[Gourmet10]

Here, here!!! I agree. Or is it that Microsoft has to
have that last tiny bit of control over us!!! )

Hi,

This email is primarily for the folks at Microsoft and

us venting our frustration about the poor capabilities of
command buttons features. We have reasearched the
Knowledgebase, the MSDN Newsgroups, various web sites,
alternative suggestions, etc. Ultimately, no matter what
the results are we found that there is nothing one can do
to really change the background color or text control
features of command buttons.

The 3rd party options are "ok", but limited - most of

them play around with bitmap options that still continue
to leave the old command button border (lebans.com) or
button painter was another reasonable one, but seemed
like a lot work on our part to customize beyond what was
there.

Additionally, we came across an option that we thought

would work well, which was to use ActiveX control
buttons. That fixed our background and text color issue
perfectly, but then caused us tremendous havoc in the
forms because On Click was no longer available and we had
to use the On Enter option - which did nothing but give
us errors.

No, the fix to this is with Microsoft. We have spent

good money on Developer tools like VS.Net, Office
Developers, not to mention countless other licensing fees
and we get stuck on what seems to be a simple problem.
I'm sure once a fix is available, we'll have to pay for
an upgrade too!?

How is it possible that you cannot allow us to modify

the background and text color options of command
buttons?????? "we don't git this!" There are enough
posting of this problem to warrant a change, don't you
think????
