newbie question - how to change special effect on command button!

[LisaB]

Hi,

I'm creating my first Access app. I just created my first form with a command button. I have it working, but I can't figure out how to give it a special effect. I've applied 3D special effects to all the other controls on my form.

I don't see any option for special effect on the command button's properties . . . where is it?

Thanks,
Lisa

Wow, I have used access for over 10 years and never realised this but yes, no raised, flat, sunk controls.
I guess a button is a button so why have it flat.

See my thread (today) where two experts discuss using a Text Box Control as a pseudo Command Button and then you have full Special Effects plus many other tools to change same.
