[AccessD] A2003: Table Driven button list on Continuous Forms

Darrren -

I'm not sure that I *entirely* understand what you are trying to do, but if 
you want bound controls which look like rounded buttons, then can draw a 
rounded button (in Word or PPoint), and then sit the bound control on top of 
it (text box) and set it's back style to transparent.

Why do you need a mouse down/up event?
