Formatting a control

Hi,

I am using the forms toolbar to add a command button to a spreadsheet. Is there anyway to format the background colour?

TIA

Aye.

Serves me right for "quick and dirty".

Should do properly first time

In design mode, right-click and select properties, then you can change both the font (ForeColor) and background (BackColor) colors.

he could've, but it's not a Design mode button, it's a Forms button that doesn't do colour.

You can format the font with a forms control - just right click and select format - but you can't change the background
