highlight button on switchboard

[Guest]

Hi. I am a beginning user of access and I have question about switchboard
buttons. I created a switchboard and I wanted to add a rollover effect so
that when the mouse goes over a button, it is highlighted in a different
color. I have read somewhere on here about using a MouseMove effect or
something to make this work. However I tried to look up ow to do this and I
have no idea. Is there a place to read how to do this so that i could
understand how or is there anyone who can give me directions on how to do
this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for any help.

IIRC, Access CommandButton BackColour cannot be changed since the Property
is not exposed.

To have a similar effect, you need to use the Label Control rather than the
CommanButton.

If you use the Access in-built Switchboard, this may be difficult as the
Switchboard uses some pre-written codes and you need to be familiar with it
to modify it.

I don't think Jeff Conrad has anything on using Label Control on the Access
Switchboard but you may like to look at Jeff's Switchboard FAQ to get some
ideas about the Switchboard:

You need to expand the button for each menu item, then when the mouse moves
over the menu item the menu item becomes bold the other menu items appear
normal.

The menu item button is displayed and the other button are hidden.

Send me you email address and I will send you a sample database that maybe
suitable.
