Altered CommandButtons . .

[Evagrius]

Hi,

I have a form in a db with several commandbuttons. I finished working on the db. When I opened the db in a different computer, everything worked fine except the command buttons appeared gray - as if they were designed in 2003 and not 2007. In 2007 they have the blue-ish tint with the outline. Why does this happen?

Thank you!

Command buttons and other things like tab controls are set via the Windows Themes. You can set it so that they don't use windows themed controls but then if you do they become very ugly. But if you do use them you are at the mercy of whatever theme the user has set on their computer.

Also, if opened in Citrix (possibly terminal services as well) they will appear to be the ugly versions of everything.
