buttons and icons on a form

[jenny_gurl]

hi,

I would like to use icons and interactive buttons for my forms to give them a more professional look. does anyone know where i can get such icons? i'm quite an illiterate fool when it comes to making the icons using icon editors. i tried searching on the web but it always throws up stuff relating to windows xp. i use office 2003. can i use them? if not can anyone tell me where i can find such icons?

jenny,
Another thought. How about using pictures or drawings or just about anything, put a command button of the same size on the picture and change the "background color" to transparent. Plus, there are several sites that allow you to create buttons of various styles. You could use them and do the same with the command button.
One site is:

Hi Jenny,

The filetype for an icon is .ico so you can search your PC for icons (use *.ico in Search), you should find quite a few. It won't matter what "type" of icons you use, as long as it is an .ico file, or a .bmp file, it should work fine in Access. Google of course will find you some free icons; I can't vouch for any sites but this one did seem to have genuine free icons;
