>>>If the command button's .ColorSource equals 4, it uses the settings in the control panel to determine the background color. However, since a command button doesn't have a .Background color property, setting the .ColorSource to some other value may be pointless. You might try setting the .ColorSource to 2 (ColorScheme property scheme), and setting a custom scheme up for it.

>I suggest that you read the Colors Overview in the help file. I've never played around with Color Schemes in VFP because I let the users determine how the objects should look. The command button does allow, however, that color schemes 16-24 can be set up for this purpose. Again, I haven't tried it, so I really don't know if it will work or not.


George,

Thanks! Was not aware of these schemes. I'll look into it.
