SO it may be time to upgrade. I have 2010 but don't use it. Learning where they put things is a PITA and some of my clients are still on 2003. So I have to design for the lowest denominator. I also find that 2010 runs much slower than 2003. Anyone have that experience?

Sorry, making assumptions - I guess when you mentioned commercial app, that would imply up-to-date Access version. Well, most of those features I mentioned are easily found under Control Formatting on the Format tab of the from design ribbon. And you can do some pretty cool things.

Also I am developing in 2003 so my options may be more limited than in 2010 or 2013.

Examples from Apple are in Exhibit K. Can we do something like this?" He's looking to give the command buttons a little sizzle. He's considering making the app I wrote to run his business into a commercial app. Any ideas?
