how do I change button color

[Vivacious-Lady]

I discovered a problem changing the color of the command buttons because Iam
unable to change their colors. When I right click on any button in the
database, the "Fill/Back Color" options is not accessable and nether are the
"Build" option or the "change to" option.

Therefore, when I change the "ForeColor" in the properties menu for any
command button, the color does not change. This is so for the color of the
button itself and for the text on the button. Neither color will change. How
do I "unlock" the color scheme so that I can change the color and then how do
relock that color scheme to what I have changed it to?

How do I change this database to allow me to make any design changes I want
to it?

Thank You!

The BackColor property of a command button is not exposed. Stephen Lebans
has an example of how to hook an API to do that.

You should have a Build Event... choice when you right click on the button.
I'm afraid there's nothing you can do about the "change to" option.
