Button Colors

Stupid question...is it possible to change the button colors on forms from tan to any other color? If so, how please.

TIA
-Chris

Go into the properties for the button and scroll down to
the fore color insert the code for the color you want to
use. Good luck.

There are no stupid questions here!
An unasked question is an unanswered one.

There is nothing built-in to Access that will allow you to change the color of command buttons.
Here are several options for you:

1. Use a label instead. Labels have click events and can be made to look like a command button with
some work.

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

3. There's a nice "Color Command Buttons" download at this site:
http://www.candace-tripp.com/access_downloads.htm

4. Some simple colored button examples that can be copied into your application are available at:

5. A shareware version of Button Painter for MS Access is available at this web site:
