That is not a bad idea at all Charlotte, I think I will do that!

Darn,  I've done this but I don't recall how, since it was back in Access
2.0 or maybe 97.  One way to do it would be to put a shape or even a textbox
under the button and just slightly larger than the button.  Then you use the
mousemove of the underlying control to switch the caption back.
