[AccessD] buttons created with wizard look different

Does it have something to do with whether or not you're using the Windows
theme?  I seem to recall something about that - I created rather staid, flat
buttons, square corner but on some users' machines (when they sent me screen
shots) I saw some nicer , 3-d ish rounded corner buttons.

OK, live and learn - it is not control wizard or not control wizard... it is
buttons made before I up-published the database to Ac2007 version versus
those created afterwards. Something must have changed in the re-save
process. Nice to know I don't need the control wizard after all, I just have
to remake the command buttons.

The buttons I create on my form with the control wizard have a more gradient
fill look to them (which I prefer) compared with the buttons created without
them. But I have combed over all the properties between the two types and I
cannot seem to be able to make the ones that I have manually created look
nice like the ones made by the wizard.

I have even ctrl-clicked both and looked at all the properties which are not
the same in value - things like height, width, top, left, hyperlink address,
etc - none of which are relevant to the look of the button. I would have
thought things like backcolor...

There is this one setting called "Picture Type" which says embedded for
both, but I don't think that is it.

I am going to go back and recreate all of them with the wizard - but in
future, I would like to know what it is about the wizard that is causing
different styled command buttons to be created than the ones I create
without.

Anyone?
