Herman,
Using the normal VFP button, it can't be done. VFP buttons use the Windows color setting for 3D controls. Unfortunately VFP forms also use this color so if you do happen to change it, you buttons and forms will be the same color.

You can programmatically manipulate these settings but you would be changing the user's preferences. The function is SetSysColors.

You can also create a container that behaves like a button and change its backcolor. You can find some examples on the CompuServe forum at http://forums.compuserve.com/vlforums/default.asp?SRV=MSDEVAPPS. Joining is free.
