Well, calling me Marty was one of the nicest compliments I've had for
awhile. (I hold him in high esteem :o)

Dan,
Check if you have Tools | Options | Forms/Reports | "Use Windows Themed
Controls on Forms" checked . If so it is - then that's why your buttons look
so pretty. Turn that off and they'll look like the before. I don't think
there's way to make other versions change to be the same though.

About six months ago, I installed Access 2003 (late I know).  Since then
I've noticed that the command buttons in 2003 have a nice silvery color with
rounded corners.  The 2002 buttons are gray with square corners.  

Is there a way to change my older databases so that they too display the
2003 command button style?  The older databases still show the older style
even though they are opened in 2003.

Thanks!

Dan Waters
