Is there a way to make these buttons a different color other than grey? I
don't believe there is a way, but if there is, that would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks!

There is nothing built-in to Access that will allow you to change the color of command buttons.
Here are several options for you:

1. Use a label instead. Labels have click events and can be made to look like a command button with
some work.

2. Sensei Stephen Lebans has an example database that shows how to set a command button back color
and more: http://www.lebans.com/cmdbutton.htm

3. There's a nice "Color Command Buttons" download at this site:

4. Some simple colored button examples that can be copied into your application are available at:

5. A shareware version of Button Painter for MS Access is available at this web site:

6. MVP Arvin Meyer has some "hover" style buttons here:
