changing the color of the buttons

[Mr. V]

Hello Everybody!
Can someone tell me how to change the color of a button in a form. I am
making a form and the default color of the button is grey, is there any way
of changing that color?
Thx,

[Bob Umlas]

Click on the button, select a color from the pallette in the BackColor
property

Thx for replying Bob, but I cant find the BackColor property dialogue box. Is
this some VB code? The normal color fill icon is grayed out.
Thx again,
Mr. V

When you write "form", do you mean a UserForm?

Or do you mean a worksheet that's designed to look like a Form?

Or even a dialog sheet?

If you meant the worksheet (or dialog sheet), and you used a button from the
Forms toolbar, then you can't change the background color.

If you used the worksheet and a commandbutton from the control toolbox toolbar,
hit the design mode icon (also on that control toolbox toolbar) and then
rightclick on your command button and choose properties. You can find BackColor
there.

If you meant the userform, click on the commandbutton and hit F4 to show the
properties window.

Thanks Dave for explaining everything, I was using the worksheet form toolbar
to create the button.
