Feel free to use complete sentences, to ask the question to which you want
an answer in understandable form, and to put the complete question in the
big white space below the Subject line. The color of a Command button is
standard and there is no property provided for you to change it. You can
simulate a different color by placing a colored rectangle beneath the
Command Button and setting the Command Button to Transparent, if that is
what you were getting at?

On the other hand, the standard button is what Windows users are going to be
used to, so it may not be a good thing to do something different.

Sorry Larry, I was trying to Simulate the same colour on a Command button,
so as my Text box back colour would have looked the same as the Command
button greeny/grey, the colour I used to simulate it looks different , could
not manage to Define custom Colour it, thought it may have a numbered
colour, I tried the same as a form colour but it was to grey......Thanks bob

A command button in MS Access does not have a back color property. However,
if you are trying to make the back color of a text box match the standard
Access command button, -2147483633 is indeed the number to use.
