Command Buttons Dont Work In Dialog Box If Placed Infront Of A Picture Or Drawing Box

[Celtic_Avenger]

Now This Ones Got Me Quite Stumped!

I have quite a large spreadsheet with approximately 100 sheets, al
performing diferent actions.

As a result, to make navigation easier I have created a simple men
system using a dialog box. However the dialog box (with its defaul
greyish colour) does not look very good. So I thought of placing som
blocks of colour behind the control buttons. This way I was able t
categorise groups of the control buttons into nice looking coloure
blocks.

The problem I have is that even though the dialog box looks ver
pleasing and proffesional, having the cloured blocks behind them stop
the control buttons from working.

I have tried creating the boxes using both the drawing toolbar and als
by importing small 10 X 10 pixel gif files and then resizing them to th
size I want. Both these options stop the buttons from working.

Is there any way to correct this or maybe another way to make th
dialog box more pleasing to the eye.

Thanks for any help you can give me!

I assume that your menu system is on a user form. If so, you don't need to
draw coloured boxes, just change the backcolor property of the buttons to a
different color. It could be that the colored boxes you are drawing are
sitting above the buttons, disabling them.

If you color-code the buttons and use the frame object in the control
toolbox to group them together, that should make it more pleasing to the eye.
