Is it possible to change the colour of buttons on a form if so how

TIA.

To the best of my knowledge you can only change the text color.

Instead of a "button," use a "textbox" that is "raised." You can make at any color you want.

Set the following properties as follows:

On Mouse Down: = SpecialEffectEnter()

On Mouse Up: = SpecialEffectExit()

Add the following functions to a module:

Private Const conSunken = 2
Private Const conFlat = 0
Private Const conRaised = 1

Public Function SpecialEffectEnter()
Screen.ActiveControl.SpecialEffect = conSunken
Screen.ActiveControl.BackColor = "WhatEver color you want"
End Function

Public Function SpecialEffectExit()
Screen.ActiveControl.SpecialEffect = conRaised
Screen.ActiveControl.BackColor = "Your original back color"
End Function

Thanks for the reply It does just what it says.
