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. -----Original Message----- From: Bill Benson [mailto:bensonforums at gmail.com] Sent: Saturday, January 10, 2015 7:20 PM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: buttons created with wizard look different 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?
