[AccessD] buttons created with wizard look different

To wiz or not to wiz,
That is the question.
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous syntax
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
and by opposing, EndIf them?
To die, to call the Sleep command...

and so on. Bill Shakespeare said it all long before our times.
