Command button Color

[Dave Titan]

Any Ideas on how to change the color of a command button from the grey, all options in properties seems to greyed out?

No can do.

You can use a label though, and use the "On Click" Event to emulate a command button.

Further to my previous response (if you can be bothered)

To emulate the "pressing" of a button.

Set the "Special effect" of the label to "Raised"

Then use:
"On Mouse Down" event to
me.labelname.specialeffect = 2

"On Mouse Up" event to
me.labelname.specialeffect = 1

Works nicely.

Cheers for that, back to code I guess

On Candace Tripps website there is an example database containing many coloured command buttons

Can this be done with a text box, too?

Greetings,

I've been playing with the command button color routine discussed here.

I've tried to adapt the same thing to a text box. I have an unbound text box which returns a value.

I've been able to get the text box to behave like a command button in the above posts, EXCEPT that when I try to place command button commands, such as OpenForm (OnClick event), nothing happens.

Is it even possible to do this?
