Controls do not show correctly at runtime.

ngr
I am using VB2005 Enterprise after migrating from 2003 Enterprise.

In the design environment, the buttons have Xp style rounded buttons and
frames but when I run in the runtime environment the forms and all the
controls revert to the old-style squared shapes.

I would like the project to take on the improved controls as seen in the
design interface.

Can anyone please offer assistance.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

In the projects properties make sure the application framework is
enabled and the enable visual styles button is checked.

Hi all, It's been a long while since I've posted or used access and one of the things that had me stop was the realisation I couldn't dynamically add new controls to a form. I am using Access 97/2000. So I guess my questions are: First up, a double check - You can't dynamically add controls to access 97/2000 forms right?
