Converted 2003 DB doesn't show new style command buttons

[Guest]

I converted an access 97 DB to 2003. Everything's great except that the
command buttons remained the old 97 style. How do I get these command
buttons, I've got hundreds of them, converted? Thanks

Try creating a new (blank) database in A2003.
Then import everything from the old database:
File | Get Exteranal | Import

IIRC, Access recreates the controls in the new style when you do this.

You might also want to check that you have "Use Themed Controls" checked
under:
Tools | Options | Forms/Reports

Thanks Allen, "Use Themed Controls" was not checked. Thank You very much for
that. I would have been clicking for days.
