>Why not use the Microsoft Forms 2.0 Commandbutton? I haven't been able to modify the color in the property sheet, but say I want a red button, This.BackColor = RGB(255, 0, 0) in the Init works fine.

Hmmmm. Never thought of that... the framework I use has a graphic button class that takes two images and is setup to look "depressed" when clicked, so when I get a request for something other than grey buttons I tend to go that route and charge the client a good deal extra for the tedious graphics work (so that they dont ask for special buttons AGAIN) < smirk >

Where do I find this Microsoft Forms 2.0 stuff to look at? I remember skimming info about in MSDN long ago but I forget the specifics now. Is it ActiveX?
