Changing the color of a command box

[Bob Reynolds]

I've inserted a form button from the toolbar for forms. It is easy to change
the color of the text, but I can't find anyway to change the color of the
button. Is there a way to change this box's color and how.
Thanks

You can use the command button instead or build your own button using shapes
from the drawing toolbar.

Thanks,
I am using the rectangular command button from the toolbar. This doesn't
print when I print the page it's on, and the drawing one does. Any ideas?
I really want to be able to change the background color but not print it on
the printed sheet.

If you are using a command button you are not using the one from the forms
toolbar but the
one from the control toolbox and yes it can be changed to some pre-set
colors.
While in design mode right click it and select properties, lookup background
and select from dropdown.
If however it is from the forms toolbar you can't change the color.

You can set the drawing ones not to print, trick is to right click the
border of the shape (where the cursor turns
into 4 arrows), then select format autoshape and under properties uncheck
print

Unfortunately I didn't know what I was using BUT I do now.
The Command Button was what I wanted, and now you've directed me there it
works and changes color and doesn't print exactly like I want it.
