Any other solution I can think of would require modifying the code behind the button changing the fore color/font/size/weight of the text on the button then checking on the click event to see if the button was enabled. If they already have code to enable/disable a button could you add code to change the label to a picture - like a circle with a slash through it? Or just disappear the button? There's something called quick styles in 201 but I've never played with it. Are they using 2010? http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2010-access/access-20 10-quick-styles-and-change-shapes/212c347e-77db-490e-9b29-9dfc714f2c4b Why do they want this? What is it about the disabled button they don't like? -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Gustav Brock Sent: Sunday, February 03, 2013 7:29 AM To: accessd at databaseadvisors.com Subject: Re: [AccessD] A2010 - colour of enabled/disabled button Hi Rocky I don't think the client is ready to rewamp hundreds of buttons this way. Any other option? /gustav >>> rockysmolin at bchacc.com 03-02-13 16:20 >>> In the past the answer seems to be use text box overlays or use labels formatted to you liking. Not as many events but they've got click.

The themes don't make much difference, I think, and the property sheet of the button only deals with clicked or non-clicked or mouse-over. /gustav -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
