[AccessD] buttons created with wizard look different

Don't know why that unfortunate event happened to you. In such an app, I
typically import a few files from my "default template app" when beginning
a new app. Then instead of going with the "native" form templates, I open
instead my custom template and then redirect its data source to something
rellevant and finally save the for to XYZ_frm. so that all the defined
properties are inherited.

Admittedly it's a clumsy work-around. No argument about that. But given the
inability of Access to implement true classes, that is the best I['ve com
up with
