Simple question. I originally designed my database on a computer running Access 2010. This caused a lot of headaches when using it on computers running 2007 (as in, it wouldn't work) so I spent the evening at work on a computer with 2007, figured out what features weren't compatible, and then basically copied everything over, working IN 2007 and re-built the database.

One of the differences with 2007 is that there is none of that fancy formatting for buttons and controls and such. I ended up making a very clean-looking design with all buttons and controls using the default windows settings, as that's all you can do. Works great!

Trouble is, when I brought the database back home to look at on my computer, 2010 displays some ugly formatting for the colors and styles of the buttons. I guess that's because there is some "left over" formatting that just is ignored in 2007. This database is going to be around for a while, and if they ever upgrade to 2010 I don't want them to be looking at something this ugly. Is there an option to reset all the formatting of a button back to "default windows settings?" In my case, I just want the plain glossy white, default windows button color.
