>>>No prob, Fred. If anyone's interested in why I didn't post this sooner, I simply don't believe in changing the background color of a command button. If youu want it to stand out, drop a bitmap on it that's appropriate. At least that's how I feel.

>Having been around in the personal computing area since the relatively early days, I'll say this. One of the reasons I got interested in this was that it empowered people to make their lives easier. It took control away from computers the size of a convenience store and put it in the hands of the users. It is after all "their" data. Similarly, it's their computer. They can set it up as they wish, what's best for them. I think it's outrageous to think that I might know better than they as to what they want to see.


I might tend to disagree a little bit here. If your talking about an in-house application or one distributed to only one type of business/industry, then yes, I do agree 100% that MY CHOICE may not be the best one to make. However, if we're talking a generic type off-the-shelf product with a far ranging audience, then MY CHOICE is as good as anybody elses. You can't please all of the people all of the time...
