Designing a form in Access

121 100+
I am trying to make an interface to run a utility I have devloped. The user would need to be able to choose from about 6 different macros they could run.

My question is, is there a way to use nicer buttons than the standard gray square ones in Access. It is for a very important client - so I would really like to add an extra-level of polish. I would like to use more web-style buttons. Is this possible?

Thanks in advance

I believe you can use an image as the background for a button. If not then you can turn an image into a button with the On Click event.

Thanks. I can see the option for "On Mouse Move" and "On Double Click" in the properties of the button, but it doesn't seem to let me assign a file/picture for it.

You must be looking at the event properties, go to either the format properties tab or the all tab, there's a picture property there.
