Smooth Controls?

[Guest]

In the wonderful world of Access 2003/XP, is it possible to get 'smooth'
controls for forms?

For example, I want to put a status bar on the bottom of a form, using the
text box method, but would like to have the corners rounded, like the title
bar of a window.

Also, I have put a rectangle object around the text boxes but though it
would look nice if the corners of this was also rounded.

Asthetics make the database seem a little more interesting dont you think?!

Any ideas?
Cheers. Steve.

Hum, you can turn on themes.....

Here is a series of screen shots that were un-modified, but themes are
turned on:

And, here is some more screens, and the command buttons are somewhat
rounded....

Unfortunately, for text boxes...they are still square...

I cant see the pages for the links you have provided as my works server has
blocked them due to be being 'personal pages'.

I didnt think it would be possible, it was more hope really.

I have always found it strange how you cant change the colour of a command
button in access, but it is possible in excel?

The command buttons look nicer and round I do agree. Maybe I could use
buttons for my status bar & rectangle instead. hmmmmmm.

Thanks anyway.
Steve.
