I am using MS Access 2000 and wish to change the background color of form
buttons, the default is grey. As soon as I select the button to change the 'Fill/Back Color' button on the toolbar greys out and cannot be selected.

hi,
by default, you cannot set the back color of a button in access. but a lot of people do want to have colorful buttons so some MVPs got to work. http://www.candace-tripp.com/access_downloads.htm http://www.lebans.com/cmdbutton.htm http://www.peterssoftware.com/bp.htm http://www.peterssoftware.com/clrbtn.htm I have visited these sites but have not downloand any so i am not sure how they work. -----Original Message----- I am using MS Access 2000 and wish to change the background color of form buttons, the default is grey. As soon as I select the button to change the 'Fill/Back Color' button on the toolbar greys out and cannot be selected. .

Access does not permit changing the background color of command buttons, but
there are 3rd party add-ins that do. One work around is to overlay a colored box and use the transparent property. -Ed "JBC10094" wrote in message ...
