How do you change the format of a button created on a form?

43
I have 3 buttons on a form and I want to change the color of the buttons. How do I do that? Any help would be appreciated.

My bad, it is called Back Color. If you click in the field, you would get a drop down box that allows you to choose predefined colors based on your theme and an elipsis button (three periods). Clicking the elipsis button will open a color picker. The same for the fore color (text color).

Open the form in design view, click on the button(s) that you want to change, open the properties window, change the value in the Background Color property (format tab) to the color that you want.

Thanks Seth for responding so quickly. However, I am in the property window, on the Format tab and I do not see an line item called Background color. The only thing I see is "Fore Color", but it does not let me choose a color.

Thanks
